Dialogue

Initial dialogue

Wanted by the Shining Blade

"The White Mantle's most effective and feared interrogator, Inquisitor Bauer has tortured countless innocent Krytans in his urgent yet never-ending quest to uncover plots against the government. Currently, Bauer is practicing his interrogation techniques on mergoyles and passersby in Scoundrel's Rise. Put an end to this relentless fiend and receive the royal bounty and gratitude of Krytans everywhere."

 Accept: "I'll do whatever I can to help restore order to Kryta."

 Decline: "War! What is it good for?"

 Ask: "..."

Intermediate dialogue

Inquisitor Bauer: "DAMMIT! We're running out of mergoyles!"

Peacekeeper Marksman: "Ummm, Boss? I'm pretty sure these things ain't ever gonna talk..."

Inquisitor Bauer: "Shut up! You just make sure our men have secured the perimeter!"

Peacekeeper Enforcer: "Emmpphhh eeeeinpheng aaaaaahheed!"

Inquisitor Bauer:"HA! So, you thought you could mount a rescue operation, did you? Bring them to me alive!"

Reward dialogue

Princess Salma

"Thank you <player name>, your efforts bring us one step closer to a unified nation."

Notes

• Some players find it easy to vanquish the area with this quest active: by the time you have killed Bauer, a large portion of the total number of foes have already been defeated.
• You can also kill Joh the Hostile who is nearby. If you are a warrior or a necromancer and capturing elite skills, consider capturing both of these elites in the same run.
• Bauer will not spawn if Heirlooms of the Mad King (the Halloween quest) is active.

Trivia

• "..." has been used as a placeholder NPC name and as placeholder dialogue in the past when unfinished content has accidentally been pushed through to Live.

Bug.Players who started the three required Wanted quests before the 19 November 2010 update might be forced to take the official umbrella quest, which is optional otherwise. If you are unable to move on to Riverside Assassination, speak to Murro in Lion's Arch and add The War in Kryta to your quest log.
