Talk:Petrine's Cat/@comment-187.67.9.57-20180509170305

Ok. I did some 'extensive' testing and here it is:

Party had 12 reputation score at the time. If you kill the uncle before killing the cat, you lose 5 reputation points for it. If you also kill the cat AND take the ring to Petrine, you can tell her that you killed her cat and lose 1 one point of reputation, totaling a 6 reputation drop. If you do not take the ring to her, she remains oblivious to it all, and the game won't let you tell her of its demise. So yeah, the trigger is the ring.

One other way to do this is talking to the uncle first, then killing the cat, talk to him again and then finally kill him. In this order, you only lose 4 reputation points for killing the man, instead of 5. If you take the ring to Petrine, you can tell her that the cat is dead, and lose a further 1 reputation point, totaling a loss of 5 reputation points.

I hope this is useful.
