Cat and Mouse

 is a task in.

You receive it from Nyfre or Medreth in Dyrford Village. Nyfre asks you to look around in the village for suspicious people, and Medreth asks you to find Nyfre.

Synopsis
Medreth is a bounty hunter sent by House Doemenel to deal with a female Orlan named Nyfre. They claim she killed dozens of children in Defiance Bay. Nyfre is an Orlan thief who claims she merely stole from the wrong people.

Walkthrough

 * Nyfre can be found in Dyrford Village on the 2nd floor of the Dracogen Inn. When you speak to her, she will give you 125  in advance for looking around the village for "suspicious people".
 * Medreth can be found on the west end of Dyrford Village at the northern end of the bridge. When you speak to him, he will ask you to help find Nyfre who they know is hiding out in the village.
 * If you speak to Medreth and report your findings to Nyfre and let her go, she'll give you another 750.
 * If you killed Medreth before letting Nyfre leave town, Nyfre will give you the unique leather armor Night-Runner as a reward.
 * If you want to avoid killing anyone, you will need Resolve 14 to convince Medreth you aren't lying. Otherwise, he attacks you.
 * Both groups drop a lot of fine armour – including Night-Runner – and weapons when killed (easily over 2000 in selling value including the random cash), and Medreth has 1000  in cash on him.
 * Helping Medreth by killing Nyfre is enough to gain you entrance to House Doemenel.
 * If you let Nyfre go and send Medreth in the wrong direction, you will meet him again later in the Woodend Plains. There, he will accuse you of exactly this: sending him in the wrong direction, which lead to him and his company facing a skirmish with a Glanfathan hunting party. He will vow to find Nyfre later, but first attacks you to teach you a lesson. At this point, the task will fail.
