Paranoia

Overview
Prerequisites: None Faction: None Location: Skingrad Quest giver: Glarthir Reward: Varies from 100 gold to 1450+ gold

Background Information
In your travels in Skingrad, Glarthir will eventually approach you and give you the quest. Glarthir will tell you to meet him behind the chapel at midnight.

If you ask someone in town about Glarthir, Captain Dion of the Skingrad Guard will approach you and tell you that Glarthir is crazy and to report to him any strange things Glarthir may suggest.

Glarthir will meet you and discuss his paranoia in the first meeting. He tells you that he is fearful that certain people around town are following him. He asks you to follow them.

Walkthrough
The first person he asks you to follow is Bernadette Peneles. She lives in the home immediately across from Glarthir. To catch her when she leaves her house you will need to be there by 6:00 am. First thing in the morning she goes to the chapel and sits in a pew. Around mid-morning she leaves and heads to the grape fields outside the city. (This is a good time to pick grapes if you are an alchemist). She eats lunch at about noon, and then heads to the back of her house and works some more there. One might try talking to her as well. If you are able to raise her disposition high enough, she will tell you that she has been watching Glarthir because she thinks he is kind of cute (watching casually, she's not following him though). She says that lately though, Glarthir has been acting weird, following her and pretending he can't hear her when she talks to him.

The next person Glarthir wants you to follow is Toutius Sextius. You will need to find him at his house, between the Low Gate and the East Bridge. This time Glarthir does not give you a time, but waiting until 9:00 am worked for me. Following him, he leaves the city via the gate nearest his house. Once again, if you talk to Toutius about Glarthir, you will find that Glarthir is following him as well. When Toutius Sextius leaves the city he goes to the castle.

The last person to follow is Davide Surilie, of the Surilie Brothers wine makers. He leaves his house at 8 am. (6:45 on the Game of the Year Edition for XBox 360) Increasing Davide's disposition high enough yields that he actually likes Glarthir because he's a good neighbor. He spends his day in the wine fields outside of town. His schedule seems to be weather-dependent. He stays at home all day if it is raining heavily.

Choices, choices, choices
The amount of gold that Glarthir gives you for telling him that a person is spying on him or not varies.
 * Bernadette Peneles – He will give you 150 regardless if she's spying or not.
 * Toutius Sextius – He will either give you 150 or 200  for whichever choice; the gold reward varies.
 * Davide Surilie – He will give you 200 regardless if he's spying or not.

Option 1: If you tell Glarthir that all three people are not following him, he assumes that you are in on the deal and attacks you.

Option 2: If you tell him at least one of the people is following him, he gives you a list to kill that person(s). Regardless of how many you kill (whether just one or all three), Glarthir will give you 1000. He'll be extremely overjoyed (to the point it's frightening) and the quest is done.

Option 3: If you refuse to kill someone on his list, he'll be disgusted at you and take matters into his own hand. Depending on if he has his axe with him or not, you can actually follow him, watch him walk all the way to his house, grab his axe from cupboards, then head to the house of the person you reported and attack him or her. Usually, the guards will kill Glarthir after he has killed at least one person, or if the battle has spilled onto the streets.

Option 4: Alternatively, you can give the Death List to a guard and the guards will kill Glarthir. Follow them, and when Glarthir dies, you may grab the key to his house and loot it. There are weapons and gold throughout.

Quickie walkthrough: Kill them all
You can just immediately kill everyone that Glarthir tells you to spy on. You do not get a list, and Glarthir thanks you for your work and will give you the 1000 reward. It takes about ten minutes to complete the quest this way.

Quickie walkthrough: Talk to everyone
After talking to Glarthir at midnight you can finish the quest in about one hour in-game time. Just talk to everyone, raising the disposition until he/she talks about Glarthir. This will trigger the event so you can immediately run back to Glarthir and get the next target's name. Depending on your answers you'll finally get a list of people to kill.

Quickie walkthrough: Wait the days
Instead of actually spending time observing each person for a whole day, simply wait twenty-four hours, meet Glarthir each night, and choose one of the options of "following" or "not following." This way, you save time from actually spying on each person. Note: You may need to leave Skingrad before Glarthir will talk to you.

Quickie walkthrough: Kill everyone and Glarthir (most gold)
When he gives you the death list kill the people and get your 1000 reward from Glarthir. Then kill or pickpocket Glarthir and retrieve his house key (or you can break into his house) to steal the 800 in the wicker basket near the door (Not confirmed as mine did not -Brick47 x360).
