Report to Optio Bologra
After joining the Legion, General Darius will tell the player to report to his Optio, Bologra for orders. Bologra will tell them to retrieve a land deed from the Widow Vabdas, whose husband died recently in the Gnisis Eggmine. The General wants Vabdas' land for a new Legion dock and Bologra tells you not to take 'no' for an answer.

Go to Widow Vabdas's hut and talk to her
You can find the widow's hut west, outside of town. Talking to the Widow will reveal that she thinks her husband was killed in the mine by a legionnaire and requests that you avenge his death by bringing justice to the legionnaire who killed him.

Alternatively, the investigation can be skipped by stealing the land deed, which is found in a locked chest on your right as you enter Widow Vabdas' house. The Widow holds its key. If you present the stolen deed to Bologra you will complete the quest, but will receive no bonuses.

Enter the Gnisis Eggmine
Head for the mine on the east side of town on the hill and speak to the guard, Vatollia Apo. If you're in your uniform, you can ask him for a spare key, to which he will oblige.

You'll find the Orc Lugrub gro-Ogdum in the lower sections of the mine who will attack unless you leave the area quickly enough or if have your uniform on. Also in this area, you will see a Kwama Queen; Be careful not to kill her as it needs to be alive for Darius' next quest, and killing her will get the player punished and fined.

Find the body of Vabdas's husband
As you explore the lower levels, the body of Vabdas' husband can be found dumped in a pool. Retrieving the axe and presenting it to the quartermaster will get confirmation that it is a Legion-issued weapon that was lost by Lugrub.

Return to Bologra and report your findings.
Bringing the axe to Bologra with the quartermaster's confirmation will give the player the authority to investigate Lugrub further, giving Bologra a disposition increase of 5. He will send a senior legionnaire to confirm the player's story and to arrest Lugrub should they have sufficient evidence.

Arrest or kill Lugrub and secure the land deed
Escorting the guard to Vabdas' corpse will authorise them to arrest Lugrub. The player can opt to try and convince Lugrub to come clean, or knock him out with more drink. Trying to let the senior legionnaire to arrest Lugrub will lead to him getting violent, with no choice but to kill him.

Report back to Optio Bologra
Once you've either killed or arrested Lugrub, report back to Bologra who will reward you with a bonus of 50 gold. He will also mention a widow fund the Legion is putting together and if the player might put some of their bonus towards it. If the player pledges all of their bonus, Bologra will give the player an Amulet of Divine Intervention as a token of thanks for being so generous and a good word for them with Darius (+5 disposition increase with the General). He will also give the player the axe back, remarking how it won't be any good collecting dust in the armoury.

After the quest, Bologra promotes the player to Spearman, saying that he is now a qualified legion member and can receive pay every week from the fort accountant.

If the player killed the widow or the Kwama Queen, they will be punished and told to pay a fine of 1000 gold per victim and to spend time in prison. If the player can't pay the fine, it will come out of their pay. As each week goes by, their debt will be paid off from the player's Legion pay.
