Investigating the Mayor

Because of the multiple choices involved with this, and the alternate Mayor's Invitation quest, I will first walk you through completing the Investigation. Before you do this you should read further and decide which course of action will best suit your hero.

The Investigation
This quest is available once you gain access to Bowerstone North. When you first enter the area the first thing you will notice is a new character in the form of a Guard Captain. speak to him to learn of a deranged prisoner being held in a cell in the North West part of the town. When you speak to this prisoner, amongst his other ramblings, you will learn his name is Gethyn and he suspects Lady Grey of murdering her sister Amanda. He does have a plan however, that is for you to speak to the ghost of the dead girl and find some evidence which will bring the Mayor's crimes to light and save his neck. He suggests you travel to Barrow Fields and find a man, named Rhodri, who may be able to help us summon Amanda's spirit. When you meet Rhodri he will tell you that he did indeed know Amanda and that the two were in love. He will tell you that they used to meet in secret in the Grey House Cellar and he'd signal her by flashing his lantern three times in the stables. When you enter the Grey House area, the stables are on your right. As Rhodri says, flash the lantern the three times and afterwards you will see a cut scene of Amanda going to the cellar doors. Once you follow her down there and hear her story you will see a number of items around. One of these, the parchment on the floor, will trigger another cut scene and the arrival of Lady Grey. You will now have the choice to either expose her or agree to cover up the murder and marry her.

Good way- For the truly noble hero, you will want to progress the Mayor's Invitation quest to the point that you have defeated Thunder. This will allow you to get the Silver Key and the mana augmentation from the area that is only accessible during that fight. After the battle you can then proceed to complete the Investigation. This course of action will mean you miss out on the 15,000 gold Lady Grey wedding dowry and Ronok the Axe from the Grey House Demon Door.

Evil way- For the wicked among us, you can proceed straight to the investigation and when given the opportunity, choose to cover up the murder and marry Lady Grey. She will tell you that to claim her hand you must defeat her other suitor, thus placing you at the Thunder battle point of the Mayor's Invitation quest. From there proceed to complete that quest as normal. This course of action will net you all of the benefits of both quests and access to Ronok the Axe from behind the Grey House Demon Door.

Collectors way- For good heroes that want to collect all the Legendary Weapons, you will first want to speak to Gethyn. With that done you should now proceed to complete the Mayor's Invitation quest. Once married to Lady Grey you can now continue with the investigation. At the point when Lady Grey enters the cellar you will not have the choice of exposing her but, you will also not be put in the position of having to cover for her either. You will now be able to satisfy the Grey House Demon Door safe in the knowledge you didn't know what your new wife was really like when you married her. (Just like every other man). This course of action will also net you all of the benefits of both quests

Note: unless you really like walking and have no intention of finishing all of the available quests, you should not defeat Thunder and THEN agree to cover up the murder and marry Lady Grey, as doing so will de-activate your guild seal and all teleport pads. This course of action will probably wreck your game.
