Vendavel Fortress/Prison

The Vendavel Prison is reached either by being sent there by NPCs in the Vendavel Fortress, or by acquiring the Vendavel Prison Key.

Becoming a Prisoner
Players are very likely to end up here as a result of the Vendavel Prison defeat scenario, which can happen at any time. During the Vendavel Quest, poor dialogue choices with certain NPCs can also result in the player's imprisonment, with or without combat involved.

The player will awaken in a prison cell with no items in their inventory. Their backpack, equipped items, and pocket items, will all have been moved to a location elsewhere in the prison. To access them, the player can talk to the guards and ask if there's anything else they can do to help, then open the gate and head down the hallway to the left. The backpack and items are found in the room at the end of the hallway.

Escape Options
Before exiting, it is highly recommended to find a way to gain access to the prison hallway, where the player can retrieve any items that were taken from them.

Helping Out
Speaking to the Prison Keepers will reveal several options for escape.


 * The Prison Keepers can be bribed to let the player escape if offered 30 silver.
 * If the player has not caused too much trouble, they will be allowed to work "in other ways than mining" and will be given access to the prison hallway.
 * This is the fastest way for the player to retrieve their lost items. It also gives the player access to Vendavel's Nurse and Titatrok the Cook, who provide additional requests that result in silver.
 * The player can choose to fight the Prison Keepers. This is not recommended to attempt without retrieving real weapons and armor.

Exiting through The Hole
The Hole can be found in the room with several Iron Veins, marked by a wooden ledge with a bloodstain leading to it. Luckily, its not possible to fall off the ledge by accident without "Interacting" with the ledge first.

Interacting with the wooden ledge will produce a dialogue option to confirm if the player truly wants to leap down. If this is selected, the player will then be allowed to move their character forward and drop into the darkness. This will trigger a defeat scenario specific to The Hole in which the player awakens outside the prison.

Tips and Notes

 * Deconstructing the many Mining Picks into Iron Scrap and selling them to Prisoner which buys them for 5 each can be very profitable. Do not sell them to the Merchant.
 * If you talk to Titatrok the Cook, he will ask you to make Meat Stew in return for 1 Dry Mushroom Bar. You can do this twice a day, and he gives you all the ingredients to cook them.
 * NOTE: If you say that you misplaced the ingredients, you are thrown back in prison, stripped of your possessions, and return to start of the prison defeat scenario.
