Begin the quest

After the arrival you'll notice the Beast lying on the yard of the village. Around him there's a crowd sporting negative attitude towards him. This location is under control of Scarlet Chorus which means that you can't take this quest until you've eliminated all of the enemies.

When the village is back to normal you can begin this quest by talking with the captivated Beast or with one woman from the crowd (Merisa). According to the villagers, Left-Claw killed and ate a few villagers who were thought to be missing. The blood on his claws and fur as well as the place where he was captured, which is close to a place where the victims were seen, is a supposed proof of his guilt. In this quest you'll have to interrogate the villagers and decide about the Beast's fate.

Interrogating the villagers

Before making any judgment ask the Beast about his version of events. If it's helpful to you, you can use the interaction button to examine him. During the conversation try not to accuse him hastily, as this will allow you to learn the full version of events. After the conversation with Left-Claw go and talk with the villagers of Halfgate and ask them about the Beast.

During those conversations you'll notice that none of them has any proof indicating the Beast's guilt. You'll also learn that the only eye witnesses were the Scarlet Chorus soldiers but, since you've killed all of them, you can't count on them.

Decision and consequences

The final choice that you'll make in this quest has an impact on the choices that you get in the second side quest in Halfgate (Search and Rescue quest).

Save the Beast: during the quest Search and Rescue you can save the missing villagers without any bloodshed by saying that you've saved the Beast.

Kill the Beast: if you decided to kill Left-Claw you won't be able to use this argument in the negotiations with the Stonestalkers tribe.

This quest is given by a Halfgate villager called Grayson. Ask him about the problems in the village. He'll tell you about a few villagers that went missing and ask you for help. You can agree or discard his request. The location where you finish this quest, Stone Down Gorge, is unlocked during the main quests.

Save the villagers

The missing villagers are found in the camp of the Beasts of Stonestalkers tribe. If you decided to free Left-Claw during In Chains quest you can convince the guard to free villagers. Otherwise, she won't talk with you and the fate of the villagers will be decided by combat.

Regardless of how you dealt with The Beasts, when you have an option of saving the villagers go to the basing where they're held captive and talk with Dracod. Inform him during the conversation that they're now free. After that the group of villagers will go back to Halfgate. Return to the quest giver to finish this mission.

Finishing the quest

To complete this mission you have to travel back to Halfgate and talk with Grayson. He will thank you for your help but you'll only receive a small number of Favor points from the villagers. Beside that you won't get any items.
