## Quest Text Steps


### Step 1

- **Reward**: (So the prince who survived the attack...
he must have made his way south.)


### Step 2

- **Objective**: South of the crime scene

- **Summary**: The prince who escaped likely went south.
He definitely moved toward the Bashim territory.


### Step 3

- **Objective**: Valencia

- **Summary**: The prince couldn't have crossed the vast desert on his own.
Unless someone helped him...


### Step 4

- **Objective**: Altinova

- **Summary**: Under these circumstances, heading to Altinova is out of the question.
The citizens of Mediah still remember the royal family's brutal rule.


### Step 5

- **Objective**: Sea

- **Summary**: There's no coastline here...
Unless he dared venture to the Stonebeak Shore below the Bashim territory...


### Step 6

- **Reward**: (Where could the prince be headed?)


### Step 7

- **Objective**: Mediah Pursuit Unit

- **Summary**: No pursuit units were dispatched from Mediah.
They merely assembled a minor investigation team.


### Step 8

- **Objective**: Valencia Exile Convoy

- **Summary**: It seems the entire convoy met their end.
So, the owner of those small footprints on the path is...?


### Step 9

- **Objective**: People of Altinova

- **Summary**: The locals of Altinova seem uninvolved, and it looks like all the soldiers perished.
So, who might the small footprints belong to?


### Step 10

- **Objective**: Bareeds III

- **Summary**: Though they trail off quite far into the distance,
you recall the lone set of small footprints discovered on the scene.
It appears the prince might've been the sole survivor of the ambush.


### Step 11

- **Reward**: (Who managed to survive this attack?)


### Step 12

- **Objective**: The Bashim ambushed them

- **Summary**: While it seems the prince might have run towards the Bashim territory,
it's doubtful they would have attacked the convoy.


### Step 13

- **Objective**: They were ambushed from higher ground

- **Summary**: As the wagon made its way, it's clear the Gahaz Bandits attacked from higher ground.
They were caught entirely unprepared.


### Step 14

- **Objective**: An ambush by Valencia

- **Summary**: The remains of Valencia's convoy litter the scene.
They were attacked from a higher ground... and must have been taken by surprise...


### Step 15

- **Objective**: The prince felt rebellious

- **Summary**: It's an interesting thought. Prince Bareeds, the avid book lover, 
smashing up a wagon? Now, why ever would he do that?


### Step 16

- **Reward**: (What damaged the wagon containing the prince
during its escort by Valencian soldiers?)


### Step 17

- **Objective**: Balenos Royal Guards

- **Summary**: Balenos Royal Guards...? There's no such thing.
It was said that Valencia would be the one helping out...


### Step 18

- **Objective**: Calpheon Escort Troop

- **Summary**: Calpheon's escort...? There's no connection between Calpheon and the prince.
This exile pertains solely to Mediah and Valencia.


### Step 19

- **Objective**: Valencia Exile Convoy

- **Summary**: On the way from the Rock Post to Valencia, 
there were the bodies of several Valencian soldiers...


### Step 20

- **Objective**: Gahaz Bandits Convoy

- **Summary**: The Gahaz Bandits were not in charge of the prince's escort.
Given the prince's announced exile to Valencia... It likely involves Valencian army.


### Step 21

- **Dialogue**: (Considering all the clues,
who was in charge of the prince's escort?)
