Keeping him alive is necessary for one of the three paths to curing the castle’s plague and he is also necessary if you want to learn the Blood Mage specialization. For now, I suggest that you just let him be. You can kill him, free him, or let him be. You have a bit of a decision to make for what to do with him. If not, then ask your questions to find out that this blood mage admits to the poisoning, but not the undead plague. If you did the Mage origin story, then you should already know him. Talk to the man inside the cell to find the mage, Jowan. Then just go into the windmill and use the secret passage in the hay to get into the castle.Īs soon as you enter the basement, you should see three undead scraping against the jail cell down here. Ask your questions and accept the signet ring. Something weird is going on and there’s a mage involved. It seems that Isolode managed to get out and come for help. He’ll tell you about the secret passage and get you ready to leave when the arlessa comes along. When you’re ready, you can talk to Bann Teagan by the windmill.
