The Heart Wants What It Wants

Ocha and Nora plead for aid — but should Coen entangle himself in their troubles?

Ocha's hex requires a personal item of Andrei's; his hideout may yield one.

Andrei's hideout lies within the butcher's shop — yet what way inside exists?

Others may know more of the infamous criminal — worth asking around.

Reaching the hideout takes silver and a word with the butcher.

Inside the hideout, Coen found several things of possible personal worth to Andrei — but which to take?

Andrei's keepsake is safe; now bring it to Ocha.

To hex Andrei, Coen must trace Ocha's symbol beside a hideout window.

Casting Ocha's hex means slipping past the guard outside the criminal's den first.

Andrei's thugs bar the way — time for Coen to prove his mettle.

Subtlety is exhausted; Coen must confront Andrei and end his criminal enterprises.

Andrei dead, Nora can be freed at last.

Ocha has weightier matters to raise; Coen must rendezvous with her at the river past Svartrau.

Ocha will speak, though never while hungry — she asked Coen to wade in and snare crayfish.

Coen's past has caught him: Ocha demands vengeance for her slaughtered clan, and he must fight her.

Weightier matters intervened, and Coen never saw it through.
