Involvement

Act Three

Gummidge is patrolling the streets of Lower City with  Fist Olloa,  Fist Nateen and a  Steel Watcher. They can be found near the Baldur's Mouth building at X: 113 Y: -47, guarding the unconscious  Gulster Boyes, prostrated on the ground after being knocked out by the automaton. Several citizens -  Baz Hopbank,  Scribe Goosequill and  Eefa Barlow are vouching for their associate, but to no luck. Gummidge claims that Gulster is a thief and her name is on a list, but both Baz and Goosequill insist that she is innocent.

After the Steel Watch Foundry is destroyed, Gummidge ponders on whether he could loot some arrows for his weapon from the wreck, and whether they would fit his crossbow.

Idle banter

• Baz Hopbank

  Whoa, that metal monster don't look so big now. (If the Steel Watch Foundry is destroyed)

  • Scribe Goosequill

    The Watchers are history! Think for yourself and show some mercy.

    • Fist Gummidge

      I still have my duty. Now step back, I know how to use this bow.

• Baz Hopbank

  Let her go! Lord Gortash is dead, you have no right to hold her now! (If Gortash is dead)

  • Fist Gummidge

    How does the death of Gortash change anything? Duty is duty.

    • Baz Hopbank

      Yeah, but orders are orders, and whoever is in charge now must have new orders for you. Right?

• Baz Hopbank

  That thing damn near busted her skull! I didn't see her make no trouble.

  • Scribe Goosequill

    I know her, that's Gulster, she's no thief!

    • Fist Gummidge

      Stay back and stay calm, I'm warning you. She was on the list.

• Baz Hopbank

  Come on! At least let us take her to a doctor!

  • Scribe Goosequill

    That's my friend's niece! Let her go!

    • Fist Gummidge

      Back off. She goes into the clink unless Lord Gortash tells us otherwise.
