| To track down the guard in charge of the storeroom, first speak to **Eohric** upstairs in Burthorpe castle. Tell him **"I'm looking for the guard that was on the last night."** He will tell you where to find Harold, the guard who was on duty. Go to the bar nearby in Burthorpe, be sure to buy an Asgarnian Ale if you don't have one already. Speak to **Harold** upstairs in his room, but he will refuse to say anything. Return to **Eohric**, and he will tell you Harold might be more cooperative after you give him a drink. Talk to Harold again with an Asgarnian Ale then talk to him again. Talking to him about the combination won't really yield any results. At this point, if you have a premade or player-made Blurberry special, ask Harold about another drink. | To track down the guard in charge of the storeroom, first speak to **Eohric** upstairs in Burthorpe castle.

| After giving him a Blurberry special (or not), ask him **"Would you like to gamble?"**. You'll be brought to a dice game where you can bet between 60 and 1000 coins for double if you win. The goal is to make Harold run out of money. If you gave him a Blurberry special, the dice game is rigged in your favor: no matter what you roll, it will be considered a win. Simply bet several hundred gp or more, and Harold will be broke. If you didn't give him a Blurberry special, an effective method is to start a bet of 100gp and double it every time you lose, while resetting the bet to 100 after a win. Either way, after losing his couple hundred starting gp in addition to whatever he won off of you, Harold will give you an IOU. **Read the IOU**, and you'll find that it's the combination you're looking for. **Keep this combination in your inventory for the rest of the quest, or you'll have to get another from Harold at the end.** | After giving him a Blurberry special (or not), ask him **"Would you like to gamble?"**.
