Cotra has been rebuilt since Avernum 2, and it's back in business. There's no plague for this city, which is highly unusual. There are, however, a number of fruitful quests.

Angarahad is the head merchant and wants you to figure out how bandits have been evading the Cotra guards (iron halberd reward). Be sure to pillage the merchant storage right above her.

Mayor Falko wants you to question a prisoner he captured, which he thinks knows something about the plagues (50c, if you report prior to killing the eyebeast).

The basement of the inn has a trapped lizard which may drop some fine leather on death.

Incantor Cecil will train you in spells, but hold off on buying from him just yet. Instead, get his quest (retrieve an eyebeast stalk) and do it for him to get much lower prices, and the ability to increase some other skills.

Jerim will sell you a stability bauble for you, which is the only useful thing in his equipment. You'll still find better with little effort, so I'd skip it.

If you've done Pea Eye's quest, then you can get some nice equipment (steel breastplate, steel shield, iron halberd) from his old house to the NE. There's a disruption wand down the stairs to the NE as well.

When ready, head outside the Cotra walls and enter the building to the NW. Go down the stairs, and you'll find a bunch of brigands. Kill them all (including Quickshank), and you'll find a notice on who has been letting the brigands in (Yong-Mi). Go confront her in west Cotra, and kill her. Then report back to Angarahad.

Jobs here include: Swamp nodules (collect 6 in the swamps near Cotra for a healing and energy elixir), the bone borer (2 emeralds, 1 ruby), message: Fort Dranlon (200c), Grob's tools (terror wand).
