Walkthrough
You say, 'Hail, Capt Linarius'
Capt Linarius says 'Hail, traveler! You are free to rest within this keep or within any of my towers along the roads to Qeynos. My guards shall keep watch over you. While you tread upon the roads, be warned that there are [local dangers] as well as rumors of [corrupt guards].'
Referenced records: Capt Linarius
You say, 'What corrupt guards?'
Capt Linarius says 'I have heard rumors of dissension among my guards. I will reward any fine resident for the death of these traitorous guards. If you find you must kill one, bring his guard bracelet back to me. I cannot allow such men among my guards. Be sure they are corrupt, or I shall have your head as well.'
A Guard Bracelet (identifies as "Corrupt Guard Bracelet") drops from Guard McCluskey and Guard Donlan in West Karana (-2913, -2043).

Give the bracelet to Capt Linarius. Required higher than dubious faction for turn in.
Capt Linarius says 'What a pity. Such a promising soldier. I thank you for ridding us of this corruption and offer you this as a reward. It is nothing more than junk which littered the roadways of the Plains of Karana. I hope you can find a use for it.'
