Choices

---

Geralt can believe the prisoner and free him from his chains. He can also leave the man chained to the rocks. The waves and the beasts of the sea then finish him off.

The sobbing girl in the village is the prisoner's sister. She blames herself for what happened to her brother. Her false accusations against her uncle drove her brother to kill him in a rage. In Skellige, the punishment for killing a family member in cold blood is a slow death in the sea.
