Murder At The Crossroads

When your wanderings take you to the western part of this province, you may encounter a group of peasants who have taken a Nilfgaardian soldier hostage at the usually-desolate Hangman’s Alley crossroads. After determining that the soldier was starving and poses no threat, your requests for leniency go unanswered. So it’s up to you to:

• Introduce these four peasants to the pointy end of your steel sword. Once combat is over, you quickly speak to the soldier, before you continue your wandering.
• Leave the soldier to his fate—the Nilfgaardian joins the Hangman’s Alley as a new, permanent resident.
