Steps

Talk to Giovanni
Find "proof" of barbarian activity
- Pick up A Ridiculously Common Branch ×3 near the house
Report back to Giovanni

(Talk to Giovanni): Giovanni: *sigh* I wonder when this war will finally be over...; What are you doing up there on the roof?; Giovanni: Hmmm? I'm monitoring the area for any suspicious barbarian activity, of course! Recently... Wait a moment. How did you get up this watchtower, citizen?; That's my line, really...; Giovanni: *sigh* Whatever, that isn't important. Tribunus Mettius says that the savages' assaults are advancing apace. The latest news is that they might have sent spies among us. We must be on guard.; Giovanni: But would those brutes really be interested in our remote little city? To the extent that they would go through all the trouble of sending spies?; Meat is meat, no matter how small the portion.; Giovanni: Ah, citizen, you speak true! It seems I must keep to my task. Hmm... Judging by how you spoke, might you be experienced in such matters?; Giovanni: In which case, could I entreat you to survey the surrounding area? Should the barbarians have been active, they must have left some trail. Like a wooden sword, perhaps...; Uh, like kids play-fighting?; Giovanni: Well now, they *are* savages. Would it be so strange that they would use sticks as weapons?; Giovanni: In any case, I am counting on you. Should you discover anything, report back to me — consider it your joyous duty as a Remurian.

(Talk to Giovanni again)

Giovanni: Have you made any discoveries, citizen?

I found a few...

It's nothing.

Giovanni: Stay safe! Report to me should anything arise!

(After submitting A Ridiculously Common Branch ×3): Giovanni: To think that... There can be no mistake. This is one of the barbarians' signal poles, by which they send their vile messages!; You sure about that?; You said it was a wooden sword just now...; Giovanni: *sigh* I cannot believe that their spies truly have infiltrated our ranks. It seems Tribunus Mettius's fears were not unfounded.; Giovanni: Once I report this matter to him, I will have discharged my duty.; Giovanni: You have my thanks regardless, citizen. If not for you, our defenses might have collapsed well before the heathen hordes arrived!; Giovanni: I will surely mention your contribution when making my report.
