Praefectus

The praefectus resides in the office building, flanked by two guards.

• Skillpoints (SPs): Lilura (14), Roxana (14), Marcus (14), Ismail (16) (Praefectus killed in battle)

• Solo: Murderous Psychopath (13) (Praefectus killed in battle)

Not sure why we received so many skillpoints here; only three enemies and the praefectus isn't even armed. But we'll take it.

  

◦ Praefectus: Long Toga, Noble's Cape, Fort Key

◦ Guard: Mallet (hammer, one-handed, blue steel, masterwork, hardened edge, balanced), Infantry Shield (masterwork, hardened, lightened, reinforced), Lorica Segmentata (blue steel, masterwork, hardened, reinforced), Praetorian Helmet (blue steel, masterwork), Centurion's Cape

◦ Guard: Krokspar (spear, two-handed, blue steel, masterwork, balanced, serrated edge), Lorica Musculata (blue steel, masterwork, hardened, lightened), Attic Helmet (blue steel, masterwork, hardened, reinforced), Traveler's Cape

◦ Praefectus chest: Scoped Standard Crossbow, Pugio (dagger, blue steel, masterwork, balanced, serrated edge)

If we spare the praefectus, he shows us a portal downstairs through which we can escape. However, I don't consider that a satisfying ending to the game. Indeed, that is the way of the lamer.

◦ Alchemy Stash: Quicksilver Roots x2, Quicklime x4, Rock Oil x2, Iron Balls x4, Black Powder x2, Salt Petrae x4 (4 of only 4 found in the entire game)

Exit the outer gate and start crossing the bridge.
