Speak to recruiter located in the northwest corner of the West Market. You must convince the recruiter that they have been chosen to acquire a coin for The Arrow's challenge.

Two sets of dialogue options will be presented to you during the conversation. The correct dialogue option must be chosen in each set to successfully acquire a coin.

Dialogue Set One

Dialogue Option Result
"Hussa of Lundenwic." The recruiter will be pleased upon hearing Hussa's name and the conversation will continue.
"Egbert of East Anglia." The recruiter will see through your deception and automatically ends the conversation.
"Stowe of Lunden." The recruiter will be alarmed. This ends the conversation and results in a fight. Nearby guards will also be alerted to your position.

Dialogue Set Two

Dialogue Option Result
"Outlanders bring coin." The recruiter will be unimpressed with your answer. The conversation ends without receiving a coin.
"Outlanders cannot outnumber us." The recruiter will be pleased at your answer, rewarding you with a coin.
"You're an outlander." The recruiter will be furious, resulting in a fight and alerting nearby guards.
