Castle Ledger Spoilers

Outer ring priorities

1. Start on the southern road and buy the salted pork from the butcher for two silver pennies.
2. Visit Matilde the ropemaker in the southeastern shanties. Pass her quiz however you like, then pay two pennies to secure the coil of hemp rope.
3. Take the detour to the mill jetty. With the rope in hand you can splice the sluice cord, earn a bonus penny, and gain the miller’s recommendation.
4. Continue around the wall to the priory. Answer Brother Aldwin correctly (“One denier per bolt, unless sworn to the guild”) to obtain the wax tablet.
5. Loop through the hunters’ grounds to assist the leech, earning the linen bandage. Keep the salted pork for later.
6. At the eastern postern, toss the salted pork to distract the mastiff and secure your rope to the ring. Climb down once the hound leaves for the pond.

Establishing yourself inside

1. Inside the outer bailey, give the linen bandage to the wounded guard at the training yard gate so the yard opens freely.
2. Speak with the master-at-arms during weapons drill to make sure you are known to the garrison.
3. Visit the guard station after hearing about the pigeon warning from either the stables or loft. Accept the sealed dispatch.
4. Deliver the sealed dispatch to Sir Merrick at the training yard. This triggers the request to fortify the rear bridge.
5. Collect the iron spike from Hrodgar the smith once Sir Merrick has vouched for you.

Securing the keep and closing the ledger

1. Exit the castle via the postern and circle to the rear service bridge. Use the iron spike to brace the winch and mark the bridge as secured.
2. Report back to the guard station so the sergeants update their rolls.
3. Proceed to the great hall, observe the rotating court case, and when prompted deliver your readiness report to the earl.
4. After the earl rewards your diligence, you are free to continue exploring for additional flavor text or reset the ledger for a fresh run.
