One day after completing Trails in the Sand, a courier will deliver you a Sealed Letter from Dijam Onêlys, inviting your for a chat on The False Dog. Reading that letter initiates this quest. When you arrive there, Dijaam deny any involvement with the ambushed caravan and will ask for your help in her new plan to retrieve the Green Sacarabeaus, since the artifact being stolen nullifies any agreement that the Golden Sickle had with the Blue Islands Coalition. The plan, however, must be kept secret from Maél Dal'Loran. Here, the quest diverges: You can agree to keep it a secret, or deny and say your loyalty is always with the guild.

Siding with Dijaam

If you agree to keep the plan a secret, Dijaam will greatly appreciate your efforts, and tell you what she knows: An internal source has confirmed that the ambush as set up by Maél, as a way to keep both the money and the Scarabeaus. This earns you the "The Scorpion's Tail" Steam achievement. She wants you to go to the hideout of the Petrified and find evidence that links Maél to the hired assassins.

If you initially decline to keep the plan a secret, Dijaam will be disappointed in you or may even blackmail you into reconsidering if you took the Amulet of the Golden Sickle from Rodas' body and kept it from Maél without telling him about it in Trails in the Sand. Further declining will result in you siding with Maél.

At the location, you'll find a trapdoor on the ground leading to the hideout locked with a Novice level lock. As you enter the hideout, mind the tripwire that triggers a flailing mace. You'll soon find two enemies, Protectors of the Sickle. One of the enemies manages to get away before being completely killed, but the other dies during the fight. Open the chest and you'll find the Message of the Sickle, which will confirm your suspicions that Maél planned the ambush. As soon as you read the message, this quest will end and Scorpion and Lion will begin.

Siding with Maél

If you decline Dijaam's offer, you'll need to return to Maél and tell him that the Kiléans plan to take the Green Scarabeaus without paying. Doing so will earn you the "The Lion's Roar" Steam achievement. He will then inform you that an inside source has confirmed your suspicions: The Blue Islands Coalition planned the ambush so that their contract with the Golden Sickle would be nullified, and they would have both the money and the Sacabeaus. Maél wants you to find hard proof of this, and sends you to a hideout where the idol will apparently be exchanged.

If you were blackmailed by Dijaam earlier, upon returning to Maél he will refuse to see you and you will instead be greeted by a Protector of the Sickle who is outraged by your body looting. He will inform you that your contract with the Golden Sickle has ended. The quest, as well as the Golden Sickle questline as a whole, will prematurely end in a failure.

At the location, you'll find a trapdoor on the ground leading to the hideout locked with a Novice level lock. As you enter the hideout, mind the tripwire that triggers a flailing mace. You'll soon find two enemies, Kiléan Mercenaries. One of the enemies manages to get away before being completely killed, but the other dies during the fight. Open the chest and you'll find the Message, which will confirm your suspicions that Dijaam planned the ambush. As soon as you read the message, this quest will end and Scorpion and Lion will begin.

Holding Steadfast

If you resigned from your position as Protector in Trails in the Sand, you can still choose to reject Dijaam's offer. Regardless if you're blackmailed by her or not, insisting on refusing to help will result in earning the "Steadfast" Steam achievement. This will cause the quest, as well as the Golden Sickle questline as a whole, to prematurely end in a failure.

Trivia

  • Holding steadfast (or being successfully blackmailed) is the only path that allows Dijaam, Maél, and Mendelus to all remain alive.
  • In order to earn the "Steadfast" Steam achievement, you must have resigned from your position at the Golden Sickle in the previous quest then reject Dijaam's offer. Having the quest end by being successfully blackmailed by Dijaam will not grant you the Steam achievement.
