I have a few questions. I read the guide and didn't see the answers there - sorry if this has been answered somewhere else (in the 400 pages of replies)
1) Does anyone have recommendations on which quests to do first? I feel like the Mine quest is easy off the bat, but the missing convoy quest seems impossible even with good sneak. Should I be grinding up on the repeatable quests or trying to accomplish something else right away?
2) When you get captured in a monster lair, what's the solution to escaping in the dark? They take your lantern and survival doesn't seem to make things bright enough (or is it just soft game over).

^ above is my kill em all guide for the Convoy quest (you only need to sneak around, but if you want to cockblock the party then feel free to try all the steps in m,y guide), doable on day 2 of the game. A little advice, this quest is supposed to be a stealthy easy to do quest, sneaking is all you have to do, if you can't sneak around properly without being discovered then probably you haven't equipped a full set of dirty clothes. Also, hiding in grass > hiding in plain sight/open space.
2) This one is based on skill, you have to be very careful, one step at a time, Lona without lantern can still see 1 tile ahead of her, don't step on the shadows in the water tiles.
An easy method to complete this one is to wait for the timer to run out, the monster gonna try to rapes the girls, you hide in the corner, knock them out then proceed to 1 vs 1 them, rinse and repeat, then you can take your sweet time finding your way out.
