Leading your witch by the collar, the Warden steps forward and volunteers her for The Keening.

"Thank you, Oathsworn," praises the King. "Your sacrifice is most honorable. But I cannot permit such a valuable asset to be wasted so readily. I am told there is still time to locate others and if what you say is true, we will need far more than just a single witch. Only if we are unsuccessful in our attempt to find additional cursed souls will I ask you to make such a sacrifice."

While you still have the King's attention, you bring Lyceen before the council and explain how she was the one who brought The Keening upon Bastone. The crowd gasps at the woman's sight and Lyceen's eyes quickly turn red with tears and hatred. "How could you?" she spits at you. "Burning me once wasn't enough?"

"The witch who drew the beast?" the King says incredulously. "I am afraid she must make the sacrifice. She is too important. Thank you for your honesty Oathsworn. Your sacrifices know no bounds." The King looks on heavily as the jailer drags Lyceen away. "More souls will be needed, but the task is made easier by what you have done."
