Vlad and I had our disagreements... But we managed to iron them out. He's stubborn, hot-tempered and irresponsible, true, but somehow still makes for a good friend.

Base XP 250

The XP shown is the base quest reward; other bonuses or rewards earned earlier are separate.

Some wounds cannot heal. I've talked to Vladimir, but whatever friendship we used to have is gone. He'll just have to accept I'm here now, too.

Quest at a Glance

Journal objectives: 5
Time-sensitive steps: 0
Possible outcomes: 3

Step 1: You should talk to Vladimir and see where we stand.
Step 2: Vladimir didn't really want to listen to my arguments – perhaps my fists will be more convincing.
Step 3: Vladimir was badmouthing Drogos behind his back and some other manumits didn't take kindly to that. I could help Vlad out, or let them teach him a lesson.
Step 4: Maybe Vlad deserves a bit of a thrashing – but I've still decided to help him out. Which means a fistfight against a few manumits...
Step 5: I think a bit of a thrashing should do Vlad good – I've decided to allow the manumits to teach him a lesson.
