In *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*, players face numerous decisions throughout the game's main and side quests. One such decision involves the Post Scriptum quest, where you must decide whether to help the miners. Here's a detailed guide on how to navigate this quest and the consequences of your choices.
How to Start Post Scriptum in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
To initiate the Post Scriptum quest, travel to the Kuttenberg region. Locate the tavern just west of Kuttenberg city along the road and speak with Kvyertsolav to kick off the quest. Your task is to help write a letter for the miners, but be prepared for unexpected developments.
Write the Letter
Head to the designated house in Kuttenberg to assist Kvyertsolav with the letter. Upon entering, select the dialogue option, "Justice is worth more than silver." You have the flexibility to refine the letter, write it as is, or make it more aggressive and concise. Regardless of your choice, the outcome remains the same. After completing the letter, the miners will attempt to kill you, but you can use a Speech check to persuade them to spare you.
Should You Turn the Miners Over to the Bailiff?
If you successfully convince the miners to let you go, you'll have the option to turn them over to the bailiff. Doing so will end the quest immediately, rewarding you with 100 groschen. However, this isn't the most favorable outcome or reward, so it's advisable to proceed to Markold instead.
Should You Help Markold or the Miners?
Next, you'll need to meet with the shaft owner. Speak to the bodyguard at the house to gain access to Markold upstairs. Here, you can choose to blackmail Markold, deliver the letter, or collaborate with him to eliminate the miners. Blackmailing him is not recommended due to the challenging Speech check and immediate quest conclusion.
Opting to help Markold requires you to kill three miners, yielding a mere 60 groschen, which is the least desirable outcome. Instead, it's better to side with the miners. Deliver the letter to Markold as planned, and he'll give you seven groschen, directing you to meet some miners just north of the city.
Head to the specified location, wait for the miners, and proceed to their camp to speak with Myslibor. When Markold arrives to attack, assist the miners in defeating him. Successfully completing this will end the quest, earning you 160 groschen from Myslibor and aiding the miners in improving their working conditions.
