His Old Self Quest in Pillars of Eternity

QUEST GIVER: Kaenra

The Goose and Fox

His Old Self

Something unusual is happening at a house in Copperlane. A man named Purnisc is acting strangely.

Give Kaenra's ring to Purnisc.

Kaenra asked me to return the betrothal ring Purnisc gave her. She told me that Purnisc's house located next to the marketplace in Copperlane.

Uncover what happened at Purnisc's house in Copperlane.

The house next to the Copperlane market that has become a svef den. Purnisc was home, but something about the man seemed unusual.

I gave Purnisc the ring as requested, yet he didn't seem to recognize it. I could go back to Kaenra now, but there's something peculiar about this situation.

The man downstairs who claimed to be Purnisc attacked me once I started asking questions.

I killed the man who was impersonating Purnisc. Perhaps the real one is around here somewhere.

I found the real Purnisc tied up and bloodied, locked in an upstairs room in his own home. He informed me that the impostor was a wizard named Nyrid and asked me to kill him.

I let the real Purnisc know that he was safe from further harm. He then begged me to refrain from telling his lover, Kaenra, about his involvement in the svef trade, and promised me a discount on his stock in exchange for convincing her to return.

Find Kaenra in Copperlane.

Considering all that has happened and all I have learned while at Purnisc's house, I should find Kaenra and tell her what happened.

I spoke with Kaenra earlier at the Goose and Fox.

PWhile I was in Purnisc's house, I learned that Purnisc was actually a svef dealer. I broke the news to Kaenra and she was appalled that he had lied to her. However, I was able to convince her to give Purnisc a second chance.
