“When I first took on the “Scheduled for Execution” quest, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Valen Dreth. But when I heard the prison guard saying how he would miss “the late night beatings, [Valen’s] pitiful cries for help,” and realized that Valen had been subject to this treatment for eleven years, I couldn’t bring myself to kill him. He’s an ass, sure, but the possibility that he only became such as a sort of protection against the abuse is too heartbreaking for me to bear.”
