End	Martin
Appearances	Dragon Age II

Finders Keepers is a secondary quest in Dragon Age II.

Acquisition

After completing the Fools Rush In quest, travel to the Hanged Man. Isabela will tell you about Martin.

Walkthrough

1. Find Martin in the back of the Hanged Man, where he will tell you of what he needs from you.
2. Travel to the Docks during the day and speak to the longshoremen.
3. Find Harbormaster Liam and deal with his assistant Aden. You can bribe Aden with 2 gold, or if Hawke has an aggressive personality you can successfully threaten him. If you wish to refuse Aden's offer, you can return to the docks at night and steal the Dockside Redirect.
4. Travel to Woodrow's Warehouse and fight the raiders inside. Find the marked treasure chest at the end of the dock to locate Martin's cargo.
5. Return to Martin at the Hanged Man.
6. If you tell Martin the location he will give you a discount for poisons for the rest of the game.
7. Do note that if you steal the papers, you will have to enter the Warehouse at night, not during the day as the questmarker would have you believe.

When approaching the Warehouse at night, the guard outside might be asleep. It is reported that sometimes when this happens, the raiders inside the warehouse will not attack and you will not be able to proceed. Returning outside and speaking to the guard to make him attack, and then re-entering the warehouse resolves this.

Note: You do not have to enter the warehouse during the day even if you bribe Aden. You can go and talk to the guards. One of the options will allow you to come back later. You lose some experience, but there is only a single guard at the door instead of three.

Bugs

• pc If you have neither Isabela, Anders nor Avaline in your group when you take the sample from the marked treasure chest in the warehouse, Aveline's disembodied voice will note that the cargo is illegal poison.
