I have a quest to free Penumbra. Is there any way to free her other than killing the guard? I tried talking to the guard and went through all of the options to try and get him to leave. But he won't go. I've even tried leaving the dungeon and comming back.
When I use the key to open the door, the guard attacks and I kill him. None of the other thieves seem to care. They are still green. Is it OK to kill the guard? Will it screw anything up later?
I'd rather not kill the guard, so if there is a way to get him to leave, please let me know.
