Talk:The Silke Dilemma/@comment-89.212.37.254-20150911212907

It's not really a dilemma when one choice is clearly preferable. Dilemmas are problems with two equally bad solutions.

As for the reward, it depends squarely on the character's reaction modifier as determined by their Charisma score and the party's reputation. If it's decent, she raises it to 400 gp, if it's bad, she lowers it to 200 gp. That makes the choice even easier since killing Silke always yields the same reward and the merchants don't care about your reaction modifier.
