The Count is understandably furious, and threatens to tell all the herbalists and alchemists he knows about you, so their wares become prohibitively expensive. After ignoring the Count, the Reavers want to know how you’ll tackle the kill.
Do you want them to run at the beast with their weapons, or stand back and use crossbows while you do the hacking?
Request crossbows, and the forthcoming air battle becomes slightly easier as the beast is quickly downed, allowing you to concentrate mainly on close combat.
Request “taking it on together,” and the forthcoming ground battle becomes slightly easier once you drop the beast from the sky, allowing you to concentrate on striking the beast from the air before backing up the Reavers.
Once the battle is over, you leave the Count to weep over his pet, and divide the spoils, while taking some crowns from the Reavers for doing your part. Don’t forget to loot the basilisk corpse for items and a trophy, as this quest concludes.

Items: Crowns (400), Silver Basilisk Trophy |
A few days after you killed Iocaste, the Count will show up at her nest during the day, where he put up a gravestone for the dead beast. The destroyed merchant’s camp will be rebuilt, and you will have access to an armorer there.
