Find the Mages' Cache

Find the clues to reveal the mage cache

You have found hints of a Mages' Collective cache in the market. Watch for more clues around the market and relieve these Fereldan mages of their wealthy burden.

Acquisition
This side quest is acquired by finding the first clue where the Mages' Collective Liaison usually is in the Denerim Market District.

Walkthrough
Find the initial bag containing a note from the Mages' Collective at the point where the Mages' Collective Liaison usually is in the Denerim Market District. Once you have the first clue, there are two more clues that you must find in order to find where the cache is located. Both clues will be marked on the map.
 * The first is located where you initially began near the three dead guards. Select the sacks to unlock the clue.
 * The second is located in the northwest of the market near to where three City Guards are standing. A pile of planks is the clue.

When you have the first two clues, head towards the gate to the Elven Alienage, and across from the gate, to the north, is a pile of rocks. This is the cache, however as you approach it, you will be attacked by a mage, Severin Cornwood, a Lieutenant, and a Stone Golem. The Golem is not a Lieutenant, unlike the Golems encountered in Origins. The Golem will run straight at your party and use its various abilities to stun and attack. Corwood will stay behind and use his magic to attack. Focusing on the Golem is a good idea because it is harder than Corwood, even if he is a Lieutenant.

Once both are down, head over to the rock pile and take the cache to complete the quest.

That doing any part of this quest will not cause the guards to attack.
