Soon enough the guards give you weapons, armors, tools, and rations. Given the worst quality gear you had seen, but then again no one suspects you to live. You are then told that to be free of the geas you must journey to a hidden town and solve their problem. You should head northeast.
With that the guards let you off, but not before aiming their crossbows at you. No where vital just at your legs so the guards will drag and toss you into the forest. As you walk towards that forest of gruesome and horrible fates you noticed one thing. The guards do not follow you.
