The second conversation with farrik, I agree to help. Quest becomes updated. I get the special mead from the cook.
I then go to the guard. And now it gets confusing....
I can either give the guard the special mead, pay 500 (or 400), and be done.
OR
I can tell the guard of Farrik's plan. And the special mead would stay with me. I would get Feygard allies [and the bed in crossroad tower, I think].....
I can not do both: tip off the guard (lie to farrik) AND give the guard the mead (comply with farrik)?
Am I right?
