Back Alley Justice is a quest received from the Chanter's Board located in Denerim. There are three groups of criminals roaming around Denerim, and it is your job to handle the situation.

Walkthrough

Travel to the following locations on the Denerim City Map:

• Dirty Back Alley
• Dark Alley
• Run-Down Back Street

In each area, you fight a group of thugs led by a "Gang Leader." They will use the following skills against you.

Bandit Skills
Archers	Dual-Wielders	Weapon-and-shield	Two-handed (Gang leaders only)
Aim Scattershot Critical Shot Shattering Shot	Precise Striking Momentum Cripple Flurry	Precise Striking Shield Pummel Assault Shield Cover	Powerful Swings Destroyer Sunder Armor Critical Strike

After defeating all three groups, return to any Chantry representative for your reward.

Rewards

• 175 XP
• 4

If you approach Sergeant Kylon he will say he has something for you. Talk to him and you get:

• 50 XP
• 4

Notes

• This quest will appear under the "Denerim" quest heading, rather than the "Chanter's Board" heading.
• You may have a chance to obtain Red Jenny Seekers on the Gang Leader's corpse in the Dark Alley.
• Each of these areas is also associated with other sidequests. You can start The Last Request in the Run-Down Back Street by looting the dead templar's journal.

Bugs

The bug mostly seems to occur when traveling to one of the districts involved in the quest before accepting it from the Chantry board, e.g. when completing the Dereliction of Duty quest which also occurs in one of the areas in question. The scripted fight will still occur at that location and the quest will be added to the player's journal, but when the quest is updated a number of problems may occur, such as failing to register the fight or not adding the other locations to the map. When Blood of Warning is active parallel to this quest, the gang may not spawn in the Dirty Back Alley.

Note: There is actually a workaround for this bug, but you'll need the Dragon Age toolset to do so. See the BioWare forum post.

Another bug is that the Dirty Back Alley will not show up as a location on Denerim's map when you accept the Back Alley Justice quest.

The quest may not move to your "Completed Quests" log even after you have finished it.
