The Cuman Camp

Upon accepting the quest, you will automatically travel with Jan Posy and his brother, Miroslav Tugbone, to a Cuman camp hidden in the woods.

Arriving at Cuman camp with Jan Posy and Miroslav

You can choose to charge in with the brothers or ask them to wait so you can handle the camp using stealth. While stealthed, you can kill the guards or go directly for the reliquary.

The camp is heavily guarded. Watch for guards hiding in the treeline. You can pick off guards at the edge of the forest one by one, or sneak around to the back of the camp where some Cumans may be working on carpentry or doing rounds to relieve themselves.
