The Tale of Captain Brage, also known as Recovering Captain Brage, is a side quest from Oublek in Nashkel. You can find Captain Brage in the Archaeological Site area south of the Lighthouse, along the coast. He is towards the southeast, near an overturned wagon. When you approach, Laryssa will plead to spare his life. If you chose to kill Brage she will turn hostile. Captain Brage will ask you to solve a riddle. If you answer his riddle correctly, he will come with you and you can resolve the quest peacefully. If you answer incorrectly, you will have to fight him. In either case, you get his cursed sword.
