The Hidden Key
Tucked away in the binding of Bookie Herod's ledgers is a small brass key alongside notes referencing a secure strongbox. Locating this container deep within the cavern complex behind Kurzen's Compound may reveal how Private Thorsen was betrayed.
Quest text
Although no mention of Private Thorsen is found in these records, hidden within the binding of one of Herod's ledger books is a small, brass key.
And after further study of his notes, a few references to a "secure strongbox" are contained among various papers. The box is somewhere within the Stockpile - the cavern complex at the back of Kurzen's Compound.
If this secure strongbox is found, and the small brass key can open it, then perhaps the mystery behind Thorsen's detection will be revealed.
Progress
The strongbox is bound in bronze, very sturdy, and very heavy.
Completion
Show the words
Opening the strongbox, it's clear that this is where Herod keeps his more valuable coins and items.
