Walkthrough[]

When approaching Kerbol's Hollow, you will find a man named Renoit Leonciele. He will tell you that there is a magical hidden village here where all sickness can be cured, and that his husband Draven Leonciele went in about a week ago looking for a cure. He will ask you to go into the village and check on his husband, and will direct you to the guard guarding the cave.

Head south to the cave entrance and speak with the guard Marcellyne Cine, and she will let you through. Head through to the village; in the town square, you will find the mayor Arienne Kerbol. Speak with her and she will tell you that Renoit may join Draven in the village now, but that Draven may never leave the village. She will direct you to the guesthouse if you wish to speak with Draven. Head there and speak with the man; he will tell you that he is getting better but will refuse to elaborate on how he is being cured. After this conversation, Renoit will come in and voice his suspicions that this village is some kind of cult. Speak with him and he will ask you to help him investigate what is going on in this village.

Head outside and talk to a villager. They will tell you nothing. Keep searching and you will find a robe in a laundry basket; this will be important later on. Continue to look around and you will find The Book of Reason on a stand next to Farelle Falbert, in the south of town. The book will tell you that the residents here stay healthy by keeping to the village and reciting a strange incantation. Confront a villager with this knowledge and they will direct you to Helene Danise, on the lower floor of Kerbol's House. Head there and you will find her locked in a cell. She is struggling to resist a werewolf transformation. After you have spoken with her, head back to Renoit outside the guest house.

Renoit will tell you that they have just taken away Draven for his initiation rites. They did not allow Renoit to join because "they were out of spare robes;" Renoit will ask you to head to the ritual site and stop the rites before it is too late. The ritual site is east of town; put on your robes when you get there and wait for the ritual to begin. Once Arienne starts casting her spell, head up to Draven and destroy the magic bindings she placed on him. Draven will transform into a werewolf and head off. Speak with Arienne after this and she will admit that everyone in this town is in fact a werewolf, and that they were trying to seal away Draven's wolf form.

Your task now is to subdue Draven so that the ritual can still be completed. Head up the path and you will find a dead deer; Draven will attack you the moment you examine it. Defeat him and subdue him, then head back to the village and tell Renoit everything. He will be worried about what all of this means, and that he thinks Arienne has a lot of explaining to do. After this conversation, Arienne will tell Renoit to bring Draven to the town so that they may complete the ritual and will ask you to meet with her in the town hall.

In the hall, Arienne will tell you that it is now up to you to talk Draven into completing the ritual, as Draven will no longer trust her. Once you are done talking, Renoit and Draven will come in; speak with Draven and he will tell you what Kerbol was doing to him during the ritual. He felt like she was cutting out a part of his mind. He does not want this ritual; you can now either choose to help him stay a werewolf or you can help Arienne perform her ritual. If you help Arienne, [?]. If you agree to help Draven, head outside and talk to Renoit there.

Renoit will ask you to help break the spell Arienne has cast on everyone in this town. He noticed that the gate on the southeast side of town was guarded last time he was there, but that it's unguarded now. He suspects Arienne is hiding something in the cave beyond, and will ask you to investigate. You will find a talisman there; destroy it and head up the path. You will find a transformed Arienne Kerbol at the shrine there there, who will be hostile. Kill her, then meet Renoit and Draven down the cliff. Speak with Renoit there to finish the quest.
