This information will be useful inQ22.3.7 Aldessia's Curiosity.

Q25 The Yellow Liquid

1. Ask Lugosh for advice

Liquid you found during Q24 The Plague of Lice should be taken to the Follower of Lugosh Z10(9). The dwarf will analyze it and tell you that it's some kind of bug attracting substance made on Khom desert. There's only one person living in the city that comes from there - Aldessia M10(15).

Q26 The Poisoned Beer

Option 3: Tell him that it's a matter of justice, and if you already have any advice clearing Salina show them to him.

3. Look around the cellar

You can now enter the storage M10.4. Kill some rats and take a look at the barrels M10.3(2). You will find a lock of red hair, which undoubtedly proves that it wasn't Salina who poisoned the beer.

Option 1: Winning

Respond to king's accusations with evidence, or if you don't have a fitting one with the most precise and smart dialog option. At the end use all possible dialog options and present a final statement. The King will decide that Salina is not guilty and will have Aldessia summoned in front of him.

Option 2: Failure

You will need to complete Q30 Saving Salina.

Q30 Saving Salina

1. Get Salina out of the dungeons

Losing the trial doesn't mean that all is lost. You will be approached by Grimbeard, who feels sorry for Salina, as he thinks that she's innocent. He claims to know a secret passage M10(13) leading to the dungeons and wants you to follow him. Use the passage and find the right cell M10.4(3), which is the one near the cracked wall M10.4(2).

2. Defeat Aldessia's associate

There seems to be another person in the cell - Aldessia's friend. Kill him and return to the king. He will get angry at you at first, but once you tell him what's happened he will acquit your friend of all charges and order to hunt down Aldessia.

Q31 Aldessia

1. Arrest Aldessia

Head over to her chambers M10(4). Aldessia M10.5(2) will be inside, but quite unwilling to surrender without a fight - she and her two golem buddies will attack you. Once the fight is over Arom and High Priest Xolgorax M10.5(3) will arrive.
