Coming to Terms

 is a task in.

Synopsis
Tawenu wishes to renegotiate the Duape tribe's contract with the Vailian Trading Company. The deal will legally pass ownership of their lands to Vailian control upon the death of their ailing chieftain. Tawenu has had little luck navigating the trading company's bureaucracy.

Since he was thrown out of the office, he asked the Watcher to intervene on his behalf. I can start by speaking with Luca inside the Vailian Trading Company offices.

Walkthrough
After talking to the poor Huana outside, head inside and talk to Luca. He will reiterate that the contract is lawful and add that Tawenu should consider himself lucky all he lost was the forged contract.

At this point, you can choose to either side with Tawenu or Luca.

The real contract is in the shelves next to the stairs up. You can easily sneak past the clerk watching the area. Go back to Luca once you finished the trick.


 * If nothing works, meet Luca in The Wild Mare at night. Being a little drunk and unguarded, he is more agreeable to a bribe or persuasion.
