Enderal:Bertulus the Ripper

First tier of bounty quests "Wanted in Ark"

Background:The pathless one Bertulus the Ripper is wanted for glimmer dust trafficking and sacrilege. He seems to be able to hold his drink, is a wild mage and most likely hiding in the wild mages' hideout in the Heartland. He is said to be extremely dangerous so proceed with caution. I have to kill him for his bounty.

Walkthrough: Enter the Rock Shelter west of Ark. There are a few runaway prisoners. One wild mage at a table. Up a set of steps are two wild mages. Through a locked lattice door, Bertulus is behind an Expert locked door, so a high lockpick skill is needed to loot that area once he is slain. He can be killed through the door and the bounty turned in however. If your lockpick skill isn't high enough, you can just fight your way through the cave, kill the mages and prisoners along the way, and then kill Bertulus. In the final room is also a mage, which will need to be killed for you to be able to loot everything in the room.

The dungeon has a back exit you can access via a ladder.

Reward: 170 gold 300 EP
