- Is there anything else I can help with? - gives the task "War of Mice and Frogs".
- End the conversation - select it if you haven't completed the quest yet "Frogs".
After completing the "Mice" mission, you can return to Zheleev and talk to Olbram, the owner of that very bull. If Henry is spotted near the cattle, the hero's reputation will drop, but you can still take the "Frogs" quest.
What will happen if you set up Prochek?
