Quest text from Ref
Look, you're starting to feel like family to me. Like a brother! I think I can hook you up with some serious work.
I've got some co-founders in the Arena, Kaban and Kollontay, maybe you know them. Thought they were cool guys, but now they decided to play politics. They want to put their champion in the Arena, can you imagine? And a good champion brings in so much money, you'd know. It's gonna take a lot of time and money to rebuild the business.
We need to put a scare into these guys so they realize they're crossing the line. Take some explosive bricks and plant them around their hideouts. Without detonators. We're not gonna blow anything up, but make it look like a big deal. Let them run around with their asses on fire.
