Dialogue
Accepting the Quest
Alphinaud: Something troubles me about that wounded knight's account. He claims he fell chasing a figure in the darkness that he saw outside the eastern gate, yes? But the main road leads to the southwestern gate. Alphinaud: Since we've arrived in Whitebrim Front, I've seen no travelers arrive by the eastern gate. Moreover, he said he glimpsed a “silhouette illuminated by the light of the city,” which would imply that the inquisitor came from north of the eastern gate, not south. Alphinaud: But it cannot be so─that way lies naught but a deep chasm. Alphinaud: Assuming Ser Joellaut is not misremembering, the inquisitor's behavior that night makes absolutely no sense, at least to me. Mayhap retracing his steps will shed light on this mystery.
Showing the bloody encyclical to Alphinaud
Alphinaud: You found something, didn't you? Well, don't keep me waiting in suspense. Let's see it. <Hand Over Bloody Encyclical> Alphinaud: Hmmm... Given the contents of this encyclical, I believe you have just made the acquaintance of the real Inquisitor Guillaime. Alphinaud: Newly come to Coerthas and murdered on the day of his arrival... Yes, it would have been a simple thing to assume his identity, for even if he were to behave oddly, who would dare question the wisdom of a papal appointment? Alphinaud: Still, while this is incontrovertible proof that the inquisitor is an impostor, we have yet to discern his true identity, or why he has decided to oppose us. Alphinaud: We must proceed quickly, [Forename], before he learns that his deception has been discovered!
