    The Dentist and the Distressed Nurse:
    1. Head to the Temple Quarter; most containers are refilled.

    Around noon, find a “Distressed Nurse” outside the Hospital. She starts the quest “Medic in Distress”, asking you to investigate her grandmother's cellar.
  8. 8
    To avoid the grandmother's daytime hostility, rest until midnight (visit Vivaldi or Shani at the Hospital).

    Leave without talking to Grandma.
  11. 11
    The next noon, report to the “Distressed Medic” outside the Hospital. Reward: 500 XP (for killing the Fleder), 2000 XP, 50 Orens (for reporting).
  • Following the Thread:
    1. Return to the Dungeon and speak with Jethro. He wants you to disrupt Salamandra's drug operations.
    2. If you have Archespore Juice, turn it in to complete “The Archespore Contract”. Reward: 5000 XP, 200 Orens.
    3. Head to the Slums and talk to Carmen to update “Beauty and the Beast”.
    4. Find the dealer “Angus” near the Hairy Bear during the day.
    5. Provoke Angus and follow him to his house north of the Hospital.
    6. Inside, kill Angus. Loot him for “The Letter of Recommendation” and “Angus’ Key”.
    • Tips
    • Looting all containers in the Temple Quarter is recommended as they are refilled.
    • Ensure you have monster journal entries by visiting the Antiquary and Book Seller if needed.
    • Resting until midnight is crucial for the “Medic in Distress” quest to avoid the grandmother.
    • Angus can be provoked into leading you to his house, avoiding a potentially higher payment for information.
    • Quest completion rewards vary per quest and objective, including XP, Orens, and key items like “The Letter of Recommendation” and “Angus’ Key”.
