The Hag, previously thought to be an imaginary creature made up to scare children with, attempted to murder Garrett last night in the Keeper Compound. With Orland seemingly not being the Brethren and Betrayer after all and Artemus gone completely missing, this old crone is the best lead Garrett has, and fortunately we already know of someone who's the leading expert on the Grey Lady mythos: the famous Inspector Drept.
There's an optional task I skipped in Old Quarter. If you read a note next to the ex-fence's door, someone is asking the fence to hire someone to clean up a murder scene in the inn at the Docks. I didn't do it because it's a waste of time. It adds no extra dialogue, it only pays 225 gold, you have to sneak past two enforcers and/or 5 guards, the entire cleaning task takes about 10 seconds (by just tossing the corpse out the window) and quite frankly I don't see Garrett as the type to clean up after crimes of others for pittance when he himself is being hunted by the City Watch, the Keepers and the Hag all at the same time.
I was wrong in Day Six, the Enforcers stuck around for Day Seven to try and annoy the piss out of me by trying to ruin the second to last part of "Saga of the Festering Wound". Luckily they didn't get a chance, thanks to my gas arrows and the ever-vigilant Brothers of the Order of the Hammer.
To be honest, I've always kind of liked the Hammerites. Apart from Karras and his loonie Mechanist followers the Hammers have always been the "good" guys in the series as far as I'm concerned. They may have crazy stuff written in their holy books about plucking the eyes out of children who do not see the Builder's light, but they do not actually literally follow those writings.
What they do is provide much needed shelter and services for the people in the City even though I suspect majority of those City people don't actually heed the teachings of the Builder, they do not value gold and earthly possessions but quality craftmanship and in life they only aspire to create something and do their work well, they're taught to help people in need but instead of just handing out gold to random beggars they help the needy to help themselves (by giving people the necessary tools to craft a better life for themselves) and while they seem to be strict they do not hand out a death penalty for every crime. In fact they've forgiven Garrett TWICE now for looting their churches and even crafted him the mechanical eye free of charge, and while their prison, Cragscleft, is a pretty nasty place to be locked in, prisoners there do eventually get out (and if I recall correctly the sentences were relatively short) unlike in Pavelock where most prisoners get beaten and killed just to keep the order.
And, while Hammers do not really love the wild natur
