Bandit Toll is a Bronze Quest in Fable and The Lost Chapters that appears the first time you enter Greatwood Gorge.

Overview[]

As you enter the Greatwood Gorge map a trader will walk past and mutter "I hope you've got the gold they want, these bandits will kill us all for fun" and the Quest Card will appear in your current quests. Walking further on there are three signs, the first on the close side of the bridge reads "Bandit toll ahead, prepare your gold", the second on the far side of the bridge reads "Bandit toll imminent, get your gold ready" and the last just before the Bandit Toller reads "Bandit toll now, failure to pay will result in your agonising death".

Walking close to the bandit standing just ahead will cause him to initiate a conversation with you and, depending on if you have 400 or more gold or not, he will either say "I smell shinies, 'and em over now" or he will say "M'afraid this is a private road and I don't smell gold, well not enough anyway" and will provide an option for you to pay or refuse to pay, or he will end the conversation and tell you to go back. Paying the 400-gold toll will allow you to pass through at will but will not complete the quest; to turn the bandit hostile you either attack him or just keep walking past, turning all of the bandits in the camp hostile. The easiest way to complete the quest is to just kill the Bandit Leader as all bandits will flee, or you can kill them all and save the leader for last to gain more rewards. Afterwards all of the signs will say "The writing on this has been scrubbed out".

Notes[]

  • If you defeat Twinblade before completing this quest, the mission disappear from the menu and the bandits in this zone will be hostile.
  • If the player keeps bothering the bandits and doesn't leave the area, they will give multiple warnings. If the player continues doing so, the bandits will grant the player a last chance before they turn hostile.
  • In Fable Anniersary, after defeating Twinblade, the bandits will be non-hostile, even after you hit them or steal their treasures. There is a chance that some bandits will be hostile and others will not. If hostile and non-hostile bandits encounter each other, they will fight. This may be an overlook during game development.

Trivia[]

  • When the bandits in this area are neutral, they will attack whatever is an enemy to the hero. This can be confirmed if you hit a bandit, several bandits will turn hostile towards you, but a few of them will be too far away and won't turn hostile, these non-hostile bandits will attack the hostile bandits if they are close enough to each other. Another way to confirm this is by clipping through the magical barrier in Bowerstone Jail during the Try to Stop Jack of Blades quest. If you go all the way to Greatwood Gorge, minions will spawn and the bandits here will fight them.
