For Whom The Bell Tolls

At the allotted time (after nightfall) and at the allotted location (the tower across from the auction house), Eveline scales the walls and shows why she was The Stranger’s preferred agility expert. After everyone manages to ascend into the building, there’s a small squabble (answer as you wish), and masks are worn.

When you’ve optionally spotted a love letter in this attic area, descend down the stairs armed with your wooden sword (as you requested no deaths). Keep on descending into the auction room, which isn’t as empty as you would have liked. You’re confronted by four guards. Defeat them (only two must be defeated by your hands, so you can target foes your allies are fighting to minimize taking damage).

The fracas degenerates further as Horst Borsodi stumbles into the room, and quickly stumbles out again. You’re ordered to chase him down, but he escapes into the basement and the main vault doors close. The belltower tolls, prompting The Stranger to produce something sharper than a wooden sword to stop the clanging. Everything, as they say on Skellige, appears to have gone “tits up.”
