This quest is a simple errand of running around in Baldur's Gate. It involves no fighting at all.

Dialogue
Sergeant Schmidt: Yes, citizen. What is it? Speak quickly.

You: I was stopping in to see if you had any work for me.

Sergeant Schmidt: *Arranging a pile of scattered tunics, he sighs exhaustedly* Another adventurer just stopping in; determined to waste my time, I see.

1. And another rude Throne soldier. No suprise there.

2. No sir. But do you have a job for me?

You: No sir. But do you have a job for me?

Sergeant Schmidt: *Taking his time with his work* You all multiply quicker than rabbits, don't you? Yes, yes. I suppose I have something for you to do. Besides, the sooner you get out of my sight the better. Still interested?

1. Not with that attitude. I'll take my leave.

'''2. I suppose. What did you have in mind? '''

You: I suppose. What did you have in mind?

Sergeant Schmidt: *Jingling a tiny pouch of coins between his thumb and forefinger* See this? It's a tiny amount of gold. *Points to the door* See that? It's a door. Outside of it you'll find the Temple of Gond in the Palace District, just north of here. Go there and fetch the Throne's current weapon order. It should be ready by now.

You: Who should I talk to, there?

Sergeant Schmidt: *Rolling his eyes* Must I tell you everything? The high priest of the temple is Artificer Pike.
