Quick Links
Located in the Sparrowhawks district of Paradis in the first chapter ofAvowed, A Lady Never Tells is one of the faster, but more interesting side quests. It features a not-so-damsel in distress and a shipment of supplies that have been taken.
What Happens if You Free Ilora in Avowed?
The imprisoned Ilora’s fate is in your hands. Can you trust her not to stab you in the back?
Accepting the Quest
Depending on where you are in the story, and whether you were able to convince some Sparrowhawks to stop harassing a shopkeep, this side quest might not be immediately available to you. If the Sparrowhawks aren’t welcome to your company, they will attack on sight, meaning this quest will be difficult to start, especially considering it’s located in the middle of their controlled district.
Regardless, talk to a Concerned Courtesan who is being harassed by some Sparrowhawks, and she will inform you that the bathhouse nearby is in need of some help retrieving some stolen merchandise. Head over to the bathhouse and talk to the owner, Giuliana, who obviously has her guard up given your Aedyran heritage.
It would seem Giuliana is waiting for some “supplies” that never showed up, and she wants you to go hunt them down for her. Unfortunately, she refuses to let you know what’s in her shipment, making things even more suspicious.
Tracking Down the Supplies
Fortunately, the supplies aren’t too far away. Open your map and teleport to Claviger’s Landing just southwest of Paradis (where you first arrived and met Kai). The closest warehouse to the left coming off the dock is controlled by some shady Sparrowhawks.
Talking to Jago the Sea Wolf will initiate dialogue that wasn’t available prior. He knows he’s sitting on stolen goods from Giuliana but refuses to give them back unless you either take them by force (Attacking) or bringing up how you’re “willing to cut a deal.”
It seems Jago is scared of the Garrote, and while he doesn’t necessarily trust you not to turn him in, the threat of the Steel Garrote is enough for him to hand over the key to the warehouse.
Important Dialogue Options:
Get inside the warehouse and grabGiuliana’s Shipmentand return to the bathhouse. You can simply not bring up what you have found out, or confront Giuliana about the smuggled contraceptives. If you’re feeling loyal to the Steel Garotte, you can turn her in, in favor of the reward, or you can look the other way and earn an ally in future dialogue choices, specifically when talking to Elowe.

Finding the right person for the job can be difficult, but all it really takes is the right dialogue for the right person.
