At All Costs

 is a side quest in.

Synopsis
Mestre Verzano gives the Watcher a package to deliver to Gareth at the Goose and Fox in Copperlane. As it quickly turns out, Verzano's gotten himself in trouble with the local crime cartel and drags the Watcher into the fray...

Walkthrough
You start with quest by speaking to Mestre Verzano in the Vailian Trading Company. He will then give you a quest item, bitter squash seeds, to deliver to Gareth in the Goose and Fox.

Deliver the quest item. Danna Doemenel of House Doemenel will interrupt the deal, and tell you to deliver a message to Verzano to let him know that the Doemenels know about his outside deals, and are coming to kill him. If you wish, you may be aggressive with Danna and attack her in the inn. This will not cause any other NPCs to become hostile in the inn although her fiance, Cendric may attack you later in Copperlane.

Return to the Trading Company and speak to Verzano. Pallegina will enter to tell Verzano that he no longer has the protection of the Vailian Embassy. You're then given 3 choices how to proceed.


 * Take payment for your delivery and leave Verzano to his fate.
 * This option forces you out of the warehouse and you can't intervene. Verzano is assumed dead once you do this.
 * Defend Verzano from House Doemenel.
 * Kill Verzano yourself for getting you into this mess.

All options will finish the quest. If Danna was already killed, simply let Verzano know, and he will reward you as standard.

Regardless of which option you choose, Pallegina will offer to join your party when you finish.

Obtaining Forgiveness twice
It is possible to acquire two exemplars of Forgiveness during the At All Costs quest. In order to achieve this:
 * 1) Player must kill Danna's party after handling bitter squash seeds to Gareth in The Goose and Fox inn
 * 2) After returning to Vailian Trading Company, accept payment from Verzano peacefully
 * 3) The moment after doing this, Verzano will be on his way to leave the building; however, this will happen without cutscene playing, so player is free to attack Verzano (which will turn him and all guards in Vailian Trading Company hostile)
 * 4) After killing all enemies, second Forgiveness can be looted from Verzano's body

This can probably be considered a bug, but is still present in 3.07.1318 version of the game.
