The cousin is dead, and no one is left to pay the victim's ransom.	100%	Yes
You stole the ransom the gem, and the ransom went unpaid without a drop of blood.	100%	Yes
You kept the ransom the gem for yourself and never went back to your quest giver.	No added payment	No
The ransom was paid, and the victim came home.	No added payment	No

With Questlines enabled, these outcomes control the added rewards. Gold multipliers apply only to gold the quest actually pays. A gear choice offers a weapon, armour and jewellery; keep one. See Quest rewards and loot for rarity, payment and online reward rules.
