Mission:Crossing Over - Part Two: Recover the Red Caps' iron hoard
Recover the Red Caps' iron hoard
Briefing
I think I've uncovered a way to strike at the Red Caps. It seems they've been hoarding all the iron in the area; fey creatures, as I'm sure you know, are afraid of iron. It can harm them quite greviously. If you would go into the caves and recover their iron hoard, I think we could really hit them where it hurts.
Mission Acceptance
When you've finished, take the recovered iron over to Mayor Bower. I'm sure he'll be happy to get his citizens' pots and pans back to them.
Recover the iron
Unnecessary Solicitation
We should recover that iron as soon as possible.
Mission Objective(s)
A high, chittering laugh rings off the low walls of these caverns.
- Recover the iron
- 5 hoards to find
You have recovered all the iron.
Enemies
Notable NPCs

Ambush! Character not escape!
After recovering each iron hoard you will be ambushed by two waves of Red Caps
According to Buck Salinger, Red Caps are highly susceptible to damage from iron. No doubt this is why they were trying to hoard it.
Take iron to Gordon Bower
Unnecessary Solicitation
You should get that iron back to Salamanca where it belongs.
Mission Objective(s)
- Take iron to Gordon Bower
Thank you. I'll get this iron back to its owners. Except for this piece. This blade. It belonged to my grandfather, you see. I've kept it as something of a memento, but now I want you to have it, at least for a while. I can't think of a better use for it than in defense of my grandfather's home.
Temporary Power
Upon successful completion of this mission, a hero will earn the Iron Blade temporary power.
Melee, Moderate Damage (Lethal), Foe -Defense
According to Buck Salinger, it's a well known fact that Fey creatures such as the Fir Bolg, Red Caps and Tuatha fear iron more than any other substance. This Iron Blade you recovered may be of some use against them. You may carry it for 3 days before returning it to the village.
Debriefing
Exploiting the weaknesses of the Red Caps will be key to defeating them. Use that blade well.
