At All Costs is a side quest in Pillars of Eternity.

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.
  • 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.

Notes

  • Killing Gareth will not turn the other guests at the inn against you, but it will fail the quest (unless you are in combat with Danna and shoot Gareth in the back as he's trying to run away).
  • Killing Danna at The Goose and Fox inn or the Vailian Trading Company warehouseVerify will cause her fiance, Cendric, to attack you in Copperlane.
  • Killing Danna at the warehouse will cause Doemenel Thugs to attack you in Ondra's Gift.
  • For every Doemenel NPC you kill, you will receive Extraordinary Negative reputation with House Doemenel.
  • Killing Verzano before confronting him about the Doemenels will fail the quest.
  • If you side with House Doemenel and kill Verzano, Danna will tell you to see her brother in the Doemenel Manor, which will start A Two Story Job if you do not already have it.
  • For every one of Verzano's guard that dies, you will usually receive Minor Negative reputation with Defiance Bay. This is a bit inconsistent and can happen even if the Doemenels get the killing blow - it also sometimes does not happen even when you get the killing blow.
    • Being careful not to deal any combat damage or casting any offensive spells will avoid this. Danna will still thank you, if you sided with her, even if you don't contribute to the fight.

2 Return to Verzano in Ondra's Gift.
10002 Verzano's gotten himself in trouble with the local crime cartel. Unfortunately, he's dragged me with him. He's waiting for me at the Vailian Trading Company in Ondra's Gift. When I confront him, I'll have to decide how I want to handle his treachery.
12 Get bitter squash seeds from Verzano at the warehouse in Ondra's Gift.

14 Kill Verzano.
10014 I've decided to kill Verzano. This shouldn't be much of a challenge.
30000 I protected Verzano from the vengeful Danna Doemenel. I'll have to watch my step around the rest of House Doemenel.
30001 I washed my hands of the dispute between Mestre Verzano and House Doemenel. Danna Doemenel made short work of the merchant.
