Part 37

Alignment Choices: At a certain point, you'll be presented with choices that influence alignment but not the ending path:

• "Should we accept the demons' terms?"
  • We should. (Chaos)

We shouldn't. (Neutral)

If you select "We shouldn't": "Should we request her assistance?"

• We should. (Law)

We shouldn't. (Neutral)

Law Path: Talk to Zelenin at the Grus entrance and ask her to sing. Head towards Grendel's room for an event.

Neutral Path: Talk to Grendel and choose to force the door open by fighting him. He is not significantly harder than random encounter Grendels.
