A cutscene is triggered where Arthur and Rains Fall have a conversation about the colonel's revenge, Dutch and Eagle Flies - when you leave the tent, Captain Monroe appears, brings news from the mayor and asks to ride along with the two.

Rains Fall investigates the site and claims the Chanupa, a ceremonial pipe, is gone.

Retrieve The Relics

Use Eagle Sense to help Rains Fall search for any clues. After collecting enough, look at the mini-map and follow the yellow dot to find Rains Fall - approach him and you will find smoke from a distance. Scout the area using your binoculars and Arthur will then be prompted to retrieve the sacred relic.

Head down to the army camp and search for the Chanupa - once you've made your way down the camp, look at your mini-map and follow the yellow dot for the relic's location.

Return to Rains Fall once you've retrieved the item to trigger another cutscene - now, if you retrieve the relic without knocking out or killing the enemies, Rains Fall will be grateful and he will provide you with an Owl Feather Trinket. If you choose to knock out or eliminate the enemies, he will show regret and will not provide the item.
