Vignette (Praetor)

This is the first quest for the Praetor Background in The Age of Decadence. Like all the other Vignettes, it is a mostly-linear sequence of events that places a certain map into the hands of the player-character; unlike all the others, it concludes with that map in the hands of Antidas (thus, the Praetor will never have The Map in her/his Journal).

Brief

Lord Antidas requires your services. You're his only hope.

Quick walkthrough

1. Talk to Lord Antidas
2. Talk to Dellar

Detailed walkthrough

1. Talk to Lord Antidas.

   • Intelligence #+: You may demand access to the real culprit:
     • Streetwise #+: Linos grants you an 'audience' with Zenon:
       • Kill Zenon or spare him;
         • If you spare him, demand either money or "surprise me."
