While you are in the Trosky region, several side quests are offered that provide an in-depth exploration of the diverse elements of medieval Bohemia. Among these is the Troubadours side quest, given by two aspiring minstrels, George and Michael. To initiate this quest, you must visit Zhelejov Wagoners' Inn and interact with the two men seated in the tavern.

The main objective of this quest is to travel to the carpenter's workshop in Troskowitz and acquire a lute displayed on the wall. Subsequently, it is necessary to deliver the lute to George and Michael, enabling them to advance in their musical journey.

Steal the lute

After you reach Troskowitz, look for the carpenter's workshop in the middle of the location. However, if you ask the carpenter or his father about purchasing the lute, they will tell you it is not for sale. So, your only option is to steal the item by sneaking into the workshop.

Thus, return to the place at night and use a lockpick to open the workshop gate (very easy difficulty). Next, flee from the area, return to Zhelejov Wagoners' Inn, and interact with George and Michael during the daytime.

However, a drunkard mistakenly destroys the lute's strings soon after talking to them. Following that, choose one of the following prompts during the conversation:

• "Give him a trashing": You can settle the situation in peace if you have a high enough Persuasion level. The drunk man will apologize and leave the spot.
• "Can't we settle this amicably?": You must defeat the drunk man in a fight.

After that, speak with George and Michael to continue the quest.

Look for Vostatek

While talking to the musicians, you can select the "we can get new strings" prompt to continue the quest. Then, George and Michael will ask you to bring new strings from the hunter Vostatek. Select "I'll go and ask him then," to continue. Afterward, follow the map marker and reach the required location. It's in the northwest of Zhelejov Wagoners' Inn.

After reaching there, you won't be able to find Vostatek at his home. Interact with his wife there to know his whereabouts. You will understand that Vostatek might be drunk and lost in the woods. While talking to his wife, choose the prompt "I'll help you." With this, another related side quest, Lackey, commences. You must complete its objectives to progress in the Troubadours side quest.

After finishing the Lackey side quest, rest until the following morning and speak with Vostatek. He will request that you procure sheep guts to facilitate the crafting of strings. Proceed to Troskowitz and locate the butcher shop in the easternmost part of the area. Acquire the sheep guts and return them to Vostatek, who will create the strings for you.

Return the strings to George and Michael at the Zhelejov Wagoners' Inn. Nevertheless, the innkeeper will assert that the musicians are indebted to him. Consequently, it is necessary to fulfill two tasks, which involve transporting several sacks to the barn and digging the tavern's latrine. By doing this, you can relieve George and Michael of their debt to the innkeeper.
