Episode 953: Asking Questions

You release your arrow into a patch of skin just above his left shin guard. The bandit let's out a scream of pain and falls to the ground midrun. You run quickly to him, kick away his sword and ready another arrow. The man is rolled onto his back and is groaning in pain. Odin is near his face showing him his small, but razor sharp teeth. The man falls silent and stares at you knowing his end is near.

"What are you doing in these parts?" You ask him.

The bandit replies, "what does it matter? You're going to kill me the moment I say. So why tell you anything? I'm a dead man anyway."

"If that is how you feel, so be it..." you say.

You aim at his groin and pull back the arrow when he shouts out, "Wait! Wait! We were only following orders from Sir Eran of House Ranos! He hired a group of us to kill a list of people on this list".

He reaches into his pocket and unfolds the paper with the names of people. The list consists of 7 names, 4 of which are crossed out. You recognize only one name, "Doran Mathias, King of the realm..."

The bandit tells you everything he knows and you can rest assured that he is not giving you false information. "That's all the information I have, I swear it. Please...show mercy. I beg you!"

The bandit has in fact proven useful giving you the information and you decide to reward him. How do you reward him?
