How to Start Post Scriptum in Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
To begin the Post Scriptum quest, head to the Kuttenberg region. Visit the tavern just west of Kuttenberg city along the road and speak with the NPC named Kvyertsolav. This will kick off the quest, which involves writing a letter for the miners, but be prepared for some unexpected twists.
Write the Letter
Navigate 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. However, you can use a Speech check to convince them to let you go, ensuring your safety.
Should You Turn the Miners Over to the Bailiff?
If you successfully pass the Speech check, you'll have the option to turn the miners over to the bailiff. Doing so will end the quest immediately, rewarding you with 100 groschen. However, this is not the optimal outcome, as it offers neither the best reward nor the most satisfying resolution. Instead, consider delivering the letter to Markold.
Should You Help Markold or the Miners?
Next, you'll need to meet with the shaft owner. Speak with the bodyguard at the house, who will allow you to go upstairs to deliver the letter to Markold. At this juncture, you can choose to blackmail Markold, give him the letter as intended, or collaborate with him to take down the miners. Blackmailing him is not advisable due to the challenging Speech check and the immediate quest conclusion it triggers.
Opting to assist Markold requires you to kill three miners, yielding a mere 60 groschen, which is the least desirable outcome. Instead, siding with the miners is highly recommended. Deliver the letter to Markold as planned, and he'll provide you with seven groschen and direct you to meet some miners just north of the city.
Proceed to the specified location and wait for the miners. Head to their camp and converse with Myslibor. When Markold arrives to attack, join forces with the miners to defeat him, concluding the quest. You'll earn 160 groschen by speaking with Myslibor, and more importantly, you'll have helped the miners improve their dire working conditions.
