Fable II Walkthrough

Actually, that's a bit of a lie, as the glowing trail first leads you to another chance to earn a buck. Simply accept Barnum's Image Capturing Device task and you'll appear on stage, ready to strike a pose for Barnum's camera. You can press any direction on the D-PAD or select from your many possible social actions. Any pose will do, and afterward you'll be rewarded with your first gold coin—easy money!

The glowing trail now leads you down an alley just right of Barnum's camera setup. You get a bit interrupted just out of the alley as you find Rex, a local bully, tormenting a stray dog. After the short cut scene, you've got to defend yourself against Rex, but that's really not difficult. Just approach him and give him a whack or two with your sword to show the bully's true colors (turns out he's yellow).

Continue chasing the light trail and watch the ground just past the pack of kids to discover the first of the five warrants, the Warrant for Arson. The light trail then leads you further down the street and up the stairs to the stoop of a building where Balthazar asks for your help.
