Encounter

 * Lieutenant: It is time to die. Say your final words.
 * Commoner: I beg of you sir, let me go and I shall be forever in your debt.
 * Lieutenant: Don't be afraid boy. This blade shall save you from the torment of the mangy curse.
 * Lieutenant: Do not resist. The pain will be brief.

Talking to the Silver Flame Lieutenant will give you those options:


 * Lieutenant: What do you want?
 * You: What are you doing to this poor man?
 * Lieutenant: Don't be fooled by the looks of this scrawney man. This camp was overrun by a pack of werewolves, a problem far too common these days. They strive only for destruction and chaos. The other members of this camp were dragged off, no doubt to become a moonlight feast. Just look at the destruction around you. The Lycanthrope plague is taking hold of him even as we speak.
 * Lieutenant: Talk to him and see for yourself.

Talking to the commoner will give you those options:


 * Commoner: Please, I beg of you to help me. These men are insane.
 * You: What happened here? (You will get one of those dialogues)
 * Commoner: I was out gathering more wood for the fire. Screams tore through the woods, followed by howls. I dropped everything and ran as fast as I could. When I got back there was nothing but destruction. My family was gone.
 * Commoner: The soldiers; they were on me before I knew it, beating me and destroying my camp. They've got the wrong guy.
 * You: Why are your eyes darting around so much?
 * Commoner: I'm being held at the threat of a blade in my neck and the woods crawl with evil beasts. What man wouldn't be nervous?
 * You: Why is your shirt bloodied? (You will get one of those dialogues)
 * Commoner: The Soldiers beat me and kicked me with their metal boots. They've left me with many wounds, and I think some broken ribs.
 * Commoner: The answer is more mundane than you might suspect. It is nothing more than the blood of the butchered animal prepared for supper.

After talking to him, you return to the lieutenant and is given two options:


 * Lieutenant: Now you see, he must be put down.

Taking the Silver Flame side

 * You: There is proof enough for me. Allow me to do the honors.
 * Lieutenant at Arms: Dispatch him quickly, there is no need for suffering.
 * Lieutenant at Arms: His brethren have returned! To arms!

Taking the Commoner side

 * You: The only thing I see is a man who is being tormented by the Silver Flame. Leave him be.
 * Lieutenant: Then you stand with him in his fate. Kneel for your death. Join me in battle, brothers! (Start a fight)

Once the Silver Flame is defeated, the encounter is completed. You can talk to the commoner afterwards.


 * Commoner: I cannot thank you enough! Those men showed up out of no where. They destroyed my camp and accused me of being a werewolf. I do not know what drove their madness, but I surely would have been dead if you hadn't shown up.
