Payback, Kingdom Come: Deliverance Quest

We finally tracked down the nest of vipers and now it's time to crush the head of the biggest and most venomous of them with our heels.

I must go and see Captain Bernard for further orders.

I went to Captain Bernard for orders and he sent me to Talmberg to Sir Divish for reinforcements. I should have asked the Captain for the key to the armoury too, so I could get kitted out properly.

I lost my belongings at Vranik, and I'll only get them back through the battlefield. Captain Bernard could help me with that.

I've got the key from the Pirkstein armoury. Now to pick what I want.

I must warn Sir Divish of the need to prepare for the imminent attack on Vranik.

Sir Divish was warned of the danger. He took all his men and we headed for Vranik together to finally put a stop to Istvan's reign of terror.

The battle has begun! First we have to get inside the camp. I can wait until they break down the gate, or try my luck on the scaling ladders.

After long-lasting preparations, we finally sieged Vranik. The foe refused to surrender to us, so we had to resort to force. The battle began! We aimed the main attack at the gate, which finally fell, and we succeeded in breaking into the camp. Our fire arrows brought terrifying chaos, the flames swallowed up the tents and forged panic amongst the enemy.

There are still several enemies around the gate. We can't get any further until we beat them.

Once we got through the gate, they charged us in the hope of driving us back. But we held our positions and beat off the attack.

We've got to secure the burnt ground, so the foe can't attack us from the rear across it.

We mustn't let the enemy break through the rear of our main force.

We mustn't let the enemy break through the rear of our main force.

We mustn't let the enemy break through the rear of our main force.

We had to secure the burnt ground in the middle of the encampment and crush the enemy who were lurking there, waiting to attack us from the rear. In the end we succeeded and were left facing one last obstacle - another gate.

It's not over yet! We'll take the last gate by force. The bandits can't resist us for much longer.

The foe doggedly defended the second gate leading to the inner fortifications, because they had nowhere left to retreat to. But we managed to break through it. Istvan's end was imminent!

Here we are! Istvan and Erik must be among the last few defenders. I can't wait to see the look on his face when I take back my sword from the bastard!

Behind the second gate the last group of bandits made a futile attempt to resist. We beat them, but Istvan and Erik were not among them. We'd won the day, but those vipers had slipped from our grasp once more.

Istvan and Erik have their main camp here. There's sure to be some clue here as to where they might have gone.

We found an unfinished letter written by Istvan to some lord. So he had some other ally we didn't know about!

The things they took from me the last time I was here must be lying around somewhere. I'm not going to leave them here, even if some of them are useless to me now.

I had a good scout around for the things they took from me on my last visit. And lo! My codpiece, at last! That's what I missed the most!

This letter from Istvan's tent... someone's got to take a look at it right away.

How does Istvan manage to be always one step ahead? His deviousness is matched only by his diabolical treachery!

I decided to join the assault force that will try to penetrate the bandits' camp from the rear.

I joined Captain Robard's company, which was trying to invade the camp at the point through which I'd made my escape from captivity before. We got inside and went to help with the main attack.

Quest log updated:

I joined the raiding party trying to sneak into the camp from the rear, but we were spotted. We've got to shoot down the bandits to get inside.
