The Constable is an NPC from The Watch, Kintara's in-game law enforcement, stationed at the Traveling Merchant's crime scene on the Mainland. He was added following the merchant's death and guards the cordon around the body.
The Constable keeps players from crossing the caution tape and answers questions about what happened to the merchant. He is the main in-game source of information on the ongoing murder investigation.
Role
- Guards the crime scene — keeps players behind the tape around the Traveling Merchant's body; the cordon cannot be crossed.
- Explains the investigation — answers player questions about the merchant's death, shares theories, requests witness information.
- Directs lottery claims — players who entered the Daily Lottery before the merchant's death can still collect their winnings; the process and current status are explained.
Dialogue
Talking to the Constable opens several questions:
"What happened here?"
"That's precisely what we're trying to determine. Every wheel rut, every barrel, every boot print inside that tape is being examined. Until the inquest concludes, I've nothing more to share."
The Constable indicates a thorough, ongoing investigation. No details are being released yet.
"Do you have any suspects?"
"None I'm at liberty to name. Our leading theory is robbery — the old traveler was carrying a heavy purse of gold, and it's nowhere to be found. Killed for his coin, most likely. If you saw or heard anything on this road, now would be the time to speak up."
The leading theory: robbery gone wrong. The merchant's gold is missing, motivating the killing. The Constable requests witness information from players.
"Is the merchant... dead?"
"The coroner will make the official pronouncement, not me. Off the record... it doesn't look good for the old traveler. Now mind the tape, Kintarian."
Officially no confirmation yet (coroner's determination pending), but off the record the Constable makes clear the merchant is not expected to survive.
"I'll be on my way."
Closes the dialogue.
