| - When players leaves the school and enters the village proper, they find that Student Si Pat, who had been tasked with guarding the gate, has been killed. His corpse is still smoldering, and villagers who saw the attack say that Gao the Lesser killed him using fire magic. They report that Gao was dragging a large sack with him, and was heading towards the gate out of the village. At that gate, the player finds that Guard Yung has been knocked unconscious and that there is a band of Gao's mercenaries waiting for them. The player can either fight the mercenaries, or intimidate them into leaving. Once this is done, Guard Yung is revived and says that Gao left Two Rivers heading for the swamp.

| - When players leaves the school and enters the village proper, they find that Student Si Pat, who had been tasked with guarding the gate, has been killed. His corpse is still smoldering, and villagers who saw the attack say that Gao the Lesser killed him using fire magic. They report that Gao was dragging a large sack with him, and was heading towards the gate out of the village. At that gate, the player finds that Guard Yung has been knocked unconscious and that there is a band of Gao's mercenaries waiting for them. The player can either fight the mercenaries, or intimidate them into leaving. Once this is done, Guard Yung is revived and says that Gao left Two Rivers heading for the swamp. In the swamp, the player will encounter Sagacious Zu, who initially declines to become involved but changes his mind after players mention Dawn Star's name — if questioned on this, he simply says that although the player might be foolish in venturing into the swamp, Dawn Star is unlikely to have deserved her fate. He mentions a camp of Gao's mercenaries to the north. When the player has defeated the small mercenary band found there, a survivor says that Dawn Star fled into the nearby cave and Gao pursued her. The player can choose to let the mercenary live or to kill him. In the cave, the player sees Gao defeating an Ogre and pursuing Dawn Star towards the back of the cave. After fighting their way through more ogres and a Toad Demon, players will confront Gao, who is not pleased to see them. Gao says that he is the only one who understands what is going on, and that Dawn Star should actually be thankful towards him. He then attacks. Once Gao is dead, Dawn Star thanks the player. Outside the cave, a fleet of flyers passes overhead, and it is realised that this might be what Gao was referring to. It is decided to use Gao's Amber Mosquito flyer, which is parked in the camp, to hurry back to Two Rivers. This automatically launches the last of the three main quests for Chapter One, Quest: The Burning Town.
