There’s a fair bit to do in Amkethran despite its small size and remoteness, though most of the side content is fairly short and serves to show off that the mercenaries in town are bad. This in turn will make you ponder whether the monks are as benevolent as they make themselves out to be and, by extension, whether Balthazar is to be trusted. The fact that he has voice acted lines and a unique portrait says much about his importance but whether he’s a friend or foe is something we’ll need to figure out as time goes on.

For now, there are a couple of things I want to sort out sooner rather than later, starting with Saemon. The man with nine lives has been running a smuggling operation here and once again threw us under the proverbial cart to try and get out of trouble. Fortunately for us, defeating those mercenaries doesn’t make every mercenary our enemy. We also know where Saemon has set up his base of operations on account of it having a huge cave entrance noted on the map AND the fact that smugglers keep coming and going from there in a not-at-all subtle way. Really, it’s a miracle his operation remained secretive at all.

After we’ve had a chat with him I’d like to go and grab some other quests but there’s one thing I didn’t count on to interrupt proceedings: Hexxat’s companion quest.
