Detailed Walkthrough
Finding Cybeline
Travel to Bravil and hear a rumor that the count mistreats his servants
You can enter the servants quarters and talk to Cybeline without any problem, as it's not locked off. At night you'll find her in bed with Gellius or the count, depending on which day it is. When you do talk with her, she'll tell you that conditions aren't too good for her, but she won't leave while Gellius is still addicted to skooma.
Skooma
Sneak into Gellius' room and steal his stash of skooma, then take it to Cybeline.
Resignation
After Gellius gets another supply, she'll lose hope of ever getting him back. Now you have to help her escape the castle
She will ask you to get her a robe and a hood as a disguise, and leave them in a sack in the servants' quarters. She needs upper-class ones, and matching, as these will deter the guards from stopping her, as well as hiding her face and body. You can get either Aqua or Red silk ones, but nothing enchanted!
Wait for her in the Lonely Suitor Lodge. She'll check the sack three times each day and will escape once she has it.
New Employment
Talk to her and send her off to Gweden Farm.
Notes
- As an acrobat, she may be able to turn tricks that the other girls can't.
- She gets a nice change of outfit at the farm, and keeps her old gear in her chest.

| 10 | I hear the Count's servants aren't too happy. I wonder if any of them would consider a change of employment? | |
| 20 | I spoke with Cybeline and she really wants to get out of the Castle. I need to find a way for her to leave the Count's service. The problem is that she won't leave until Gellius has quit his skooma habit. | |
| 30 | Cybeline has asked me to take all the skooma from Gellius' room tonight. She hopes that without it, he'll start to recover. | |
| 40 | I found Gellius' chest full of skoom, now I need to take it to Cybeline. | |
| 50 | I gave all the skooma to Cybeline. Now we wait to see what effect that has on Gellius. | |
| 60 | It has been three days since I took Gellius' skooma. I should go check with Cybeline to see what happened. | |
| 70 | Gellius did not go to Cybeline as she had hoped. I need to get her out of the castle and find some way to console her. I should find a hood and robe to disguise her as her face and figure attract too much attention. | |
| 80 | I have placed a hood and robe for Cybeline in the sack. Now I have to wait for her at the Lonely Suitor Lodge. | |
| 85 | Completed when Cybeline finds the disguise. She then travels to the Lodge | |
| 90 | Now that that's dealt with, I need to bring up the topic of alternative employment! | |
| 100 |  |
Cybeline finds the idea quite a step up from her terms with the Count, and she'd be please to accept my offer. One more for Gweden! |
| 200 | |
Cybeline is dead. |
