Neverwinter Nights Hints
Vardoc's Hunt
1 of 9: To get this quest, speak to Benlaran, Lerner, and/or Thurwin, who will all be in or near the Alliance Arms Inn eventually. (Lerner is often outside, so look for him there if you can't find him inside.)
2 of 9: They're not supposed to appear until after you've finished both the "Solomon" and "Poor Neva" quests, but I found them after finishing the Solomon quest and getting the Neva quest (but not finishing it).
3 of 9: Thoroughly talk to all three of those guys about the mean half-orc that's after you.
4 of 9: Then go find said half-orc by running around on one of the three roads that lead away from Port Llast.
5 of 9: One place that I consistently found him is where the pathway in the North Road area first slopes upward.
6 of 9: He's a very tough opponent, being a level 1/12/1 rogue/fighter/barbarian with a powerful +2 greatsword, but he's alone and has no ranged attacks.
7 of 9: Once he's dead, search his treasure bag to find a letter.
8 of 9: Go turn that over to the A-Team (Aribeth and Aarin) in the Port Llast barracks to get credit for it.
9 of 9: It's one of the items you need to prove that the cult is operating out of Luskan. You need one more (Relmar's journal or the Charwood journal) to convince Aribeth and Aarin to get you into Luskan.
