Battle of the Frogs and Mice Walkthrough

Start the Quest: Complete the "Frogs" and/or "Mice" quests. Speak to Innkeeper Prochek or Old Olbram. You can choose to go directly to the pasture (faster, leads to a fight) or try to make peace (longer, leads to investigation).

Option A: Join the Battle: If you choose to go to the pasture, you'll arrive and witness a confrontation. You can attempt a Speech check to convince some villagers to leave, shifting the odds. A brawl will ensue. Wait for the two sides to engage, then flank an engaged enemy and defeat them. Repeat until all enemies are down. Talk to your faction leader to end the quest.

Option B: Seek the Truth: Decline to go to the pasture. Go to Troskowitz and speak with Bailiff Thrush. You may need to persuade him with a Speech check or by mentioning a reward from Von Bergow. He will direct you to Brada's Chronicle.

Consult Brada’s Chronicle: Go to the barracks in Troskowitz, find the scribe's office, and read the book on the lectern. Find the red Latin text: "And if the people knew just one thing about him truly – Fecit ordinem in regione ope clavi ferrei."

Translate the Text: Speak to Scribe Gaibl nearby and ask him to translate the Latin text. He will reveal it means something about "bringing order to the region with the help of an iron nail."

Find the Nail in the Tree: Go to the pasture west of Tachov and search the area. Look for an old oak tree, especially near the objective marker. Investigate it closely to find a hidden dark iron nail sticking out of it.

Return to Bailiff Thrush: Inform Bailiff Thrush about the nail. This will convince him to intervene in the pasture dispute.

Choice: Move the Nail or Leave It: Before informing the Bailiff, you have the option to play a trick. You can choose to move the nail or leave it as is, depending on which village you wish to favor.

Settle the Pasture Dispute: Depending on your actions and choices, the dispute will be settled.
