End Part 3: Unfinished Business

PLAN #3A: MAKING A DEAL WITH HORST BORSODI

Did you side with Horst Borsodi? When he tells you he’d rather die than hand you the papers within the House, you can reply “maybe we can make a deal.” It is decided that Horst will keep the papers, while you take the casket itself. If Quinto is with you, Horst beckons him to talk, and hires him into his fold. Afterward, you escape the vault via the secret passage Horst opens for you.

PLANS #2C and #2D: HORST’S LAST STAND

After a battle of swordplay in the vault, you bring Horst Borsodi to the ground with a fierce Aard push. Ewald picks up his own brother’s sword, stands over him, and points the blade at Horst’s throat, demanding he sign over all that he owns. Horst pleads to take a single trinket, attempts to strike Ewald with it. Disarmed, Horst is rewarded by being struck multiple times in the face with the goblet until you intervene. Ewald stops, but before you can react, he finishes pulping his brother with a final, grotesque bludgeon. Horst gurgles his last breath. Now for a spot of unfinished business.

One of the Borsodi brothers now lies crumpled on the vault floor. You must now deal with the other one. Time is short, and Borsodi’s House must be retrieved. You stand to face Borsodi, demanding the Borsodi’s House. However, Horst or Ewald has some particularly important papers stored within this carved casket, and isn’t about to let you have them. If Quinto or Casimir are still alive, they recommend a less violent end. You can:

PLAN #3B: HORST PLAY: ENDING THE BORSODI BROTHERS

Did you side with Horst Borsodi? When he tells you he’d rather die than hand you the papers within the House, you can reply “nothing simpler.” Face him in combat; optionally slaying the blowhard quickly to avoid combat with his Bouncer bodyguards. If Quinto is still alive, he sides with Horst, and both must be faced. Afterward, you must escape the vault on your own.

PLAN #3C: MAKING A DEAL WITH EWALD BORSODI

Did you side with Ewald Borsodi? When he tells you he figures his chances to better you are good, tell him, “This is not a bust. We can figure this out.” You quickly agree that Ewald will keep the papers within the casket, while you take the House itself. Soldiers are entering the vault, so an escape must occur quickly; if Casimir is with you, he mutters a (coarse) sigh of relief. Afterward, you (with Ewald and Casimir) must escape the vault via the secret passage Ewald opens for you.

PLAN #3D: EWALD’S END: STOPPING THE BORSODI BROTHERS

Did you side with Ewald Borsodi? You can question Ewald’s decision to fight you as “dumb,” and face him in combat, slaying the fool quickly. If Casimir is still alive, he sides with Ewald, and both must be faced. Afterward, you must escape the vault on your own.
