Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the quest's prerequisites.
- The Trail's Gone Cold
I've tracked the scent of Scrapes as far as here, but this cold air smothers our lead. I found a couple scraps of notes. Nothing useful yet, but he seems to have left a paper trail in his hurry. Look for clues that may indicate where our villain's lair is hidden.
After this quest
Taken from a quest that requires this one.

Look, I'm the real detective. You believe me, right? I know--ask me anything. The good people here will be able to corroborate my story and we'll prove that I'm me.
