Quest Rewards by Outcome

These cards show alternative quest outcomes. Rewards from different endings are not added together.

I failed to stop Brencis. He toyed with me like a cat tormenting a mouse – and then left me out in the open, to burn in the sun. Only – I didn't. Why?

Base XP 500

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

I still can't believe it – Brencis is dead! Slayed by my hand! Who would've thought – who would've dared to hope. Only – what now?
