Sabotage at the Brass Citadel

 is a faction quest in.

Synopsis
Now that their position within the Vailian Trading Company is secure, the Director has outlined a plan to cripple the Royal Deadfire Company by destroying its powderhouse.

To keep anyone from suspecting the Company's involvement, they have suggested working with animancers to find a more clandestine means of executing the plan.

Walkthrough

 * Speak to Flaune Elette at the Spire of the Soul-Seers. She will open a portal to the powderhouse.
 * Once inside, sneak or fight your way to the vat in the north western alcove of the room.
 * If using stealth, items such as Thief's Putty can be useful. Note that only one character needs to sneak to the vat, the rest can stay by the entrance.
 * Plant the explosive and leave the powderhouse, but be quick about it, since the powder house will go up.
 * Return to the Vailian Trading Company Headquarters. A messenger will tell you you're needed at Kahanga Palace.
 * Attend the meeting at the palace, where the crown demands answers. If you maintain your innocence and deflect suspicion from the VTC, the Company will be in the clear while having crippled the RDC irreversibly.
 * In order to deflect suspicion, all you need do is introduce yourself, and then say nothing over and over.

Consequences

 * Starting and/or completing this quest will cause all active RDC quests to fail if they haven't already.
 * The Brass Citadel will be under lockdown for 3 in-game days, and is inaccessible during this time.
 * Completing this quest will make you lose Maia Rua as a companion.


 * Tekēhu will have some dialogue after completing this quest, but can easily be swayed into staying in your party.
