There are two levers inside the Windmill, amd the "'''Brake'''" lever must be chosen to safely stop the Windmill. Using the "'''Release Brake'''" lever instead causes the windmill machinery to spin much faster, resulting in Barcus being launched into the sky by inertia, and subsequently dying. His body can then be found on the western road leading out of Blighted Village. | ||
If the windmill is stopped properly, the party can then free Barcus by interacting with him. Barcus offers the party his luggage (which contains various goods, including a {{SmRarityItem|Smokepowder Satchel}}) in the basement of the windmill, reasoning that lugging around the extra weight was what got him caught in the first place. Saving Barcus is not required to obtain this quest reward, as his luggage will be in the basement regardless. | |||
