Escort the Oxcart
To start Tensions on the Highroad, return to Vernworth afteryou completeyour first trip to Bakbattahl. As you go near the North Vernworth Oxcart Station, an NPC named Simon will initiate a conversation and this will start the quest. He will ask for the Arisen’s help to escort the oxcart from Checkpoint Rest Town to Vernworthbut he won't tell you immediately if others are involved. He adds thatthe task at hand requires the utmost secrecy, and he even points out that Brant should not be made aware of it, then you will receive x1 Escort Letter.Then, travel to the marked location which can be found north of Checkpoint Rest Town.
NOTE: If you can't find Simon near the Oxcart Station, try walking down the stairs from the fountain near thePawn Guild. Simon is on patrol so he will likely be doing his rounds.
Upon arriving at the marked location, Simon will welcome you as part of Ser Augustin's escort group and your task is to safeguard it from attackers. Shortly after, Raghnall shows up to say that he will take over Augustin’s escort. At this point, you willtake a side by attacking the opposing party. NOTE: The next part of the quest is relatively the same because you will pursue Raghnall either way. However, his affinity with you will be affected if you side with the guards.
Take Raghnall’s Side
We recommend taking Raghnall’s side which you can do by attacking the soldiers. After the attack, Simon will run off and so will Raghnall. He will ask you to keep up to learn about the truth.Follow him and Augustininto the wooded area which will lead you right to the entrance of Guerco Cavern.
As you try to follow them inside the cave, the flooring beneath you will give way and you will be separated from your pawns. You will have to find an exit on your own here. The path is pretty straightforward, you need to take the path that leads to the left and you will find Raghnall down here. Then, accompany him to find an exit. Keep an eye on your minimap and let Raghnall lead the way. You will fight monsters like Saurians until you reach the area near the waters.
After eliminating all threats, Raghnall will inform you that the escort mission was a plot meant to entrap you, but Augustin caught a whiff of the plan and so he hired Raghnall unofficially. He found evidence that the Arisen was going to be framed for the death of Augustin. Then, Raghnall tells you that he’s ready to sleep.
The following day, you’ll be in charge of finding the exit. Begin your search by following the path leadingto the other side of the cave, not the one you came from last night. As soon as you make it out, the path caves in and blocks the exit for Raghnall, separating you from each other. Raghnall will bid farewell and the end of this conversation marks Tensions on the Highroad as completed.

Tensions on the Highroad Quest Rewards in Dragon's Dogma 2
You left the cave alone:
The truth of the matter is laid bare: the escort mission was a trap intended to ensnare you and Ser Augustin both, ridding the queen regent of a voice of opposition and laying the blame for his murder at your feet in one fell swoop. But Raghnall's intervention saw this plot fouled, for the mercenary was your ally this day—if only because his employer was also. Indeed, his desire to encounter you on the battlefield continues to grow, as does his longing for the simplicity that only crossed blades can offer.
