Player notes

Arthur meets Brother Dorkins in Saint Denis as the monk collects donations for the church. Whether Arthur gives money or refuses, Dorkins asks for help with a more urgent matter. He suspects that a local shop is concealing children trafficked from the Spanish isles, and sends Arthur to investigate. Arthur heads through the city to the shop, where its proprietor greets him but becomes uneasy when Arthur begins looking around.

Arthur can pressure the proprietor into revealing where the captives are held. Otherwise, he notices marks on the floor beside a bookcase and discovers the concealed entrance himself. When Arthur opens the hidden passage, the shopkeeper runs. Arthur goes downstairs and finds two frightened children chained to the wall. They speak Spanish as he removes their restraints, then follow him out of the shop.

Arthur brings the children back to Brother Dorkins in Saint Denis. Dorkins thanks him and offers payment from the church's donation bowl. Arthur may take a dollar for his work, or leave the money for somebody who needs it more. The children remain with Brother Dorkins in Saint Denis.

Trivia

  • โ—†Reverend Swanson can engage in a conversation with the player about Brother Dorkins at Shady Belle, which will change the standard Stranger icon on the map to "BD", as in "Brother Dorkins".
  • โ—†It is unknown why Claude Jarreau, the normal shopkeeper, is absent in this mission and replaced with a man he will later claim is his brother.
  • โ—†The player can open the cash register and can give the money to the two children, which will raise the player's honor. However, if the shopkeeper is robbed before freeing the children, the player will lose honor and will be unable to give them the money.
  • โ—†If the player pulls out their binoculars near the shopkeeper, he will react as if the player is holding a weapon. Putting the binoculars away then allows the player to access their actual weapons, which introduces various fail conditions.
  • โ—†On replay, a bug can occur where the shopkeeper doesn't spawn in.
  • โ—†Along with "Brothers and Sisters, One and All", this is one of only two Stranger missions where the player can get a Gold Medal for completing objectives.
  • โ—†During this mission, Brother Dorkins tells Arthur, "You have it in you, I can tell," a line that the latter remembers during "A Fork in the Road" if his Honor is high.
  • โ—†If the shop was robbed shortly before starting this quest, the shopkeeper will not be present.
