Does anyone know what happens to Selene after the authorities haul her off for hijacking the Floating Bloat? I tried really hard for a peaceful resolution to that incident, because frankly, I felt more sympathy for her and her bandits than I did for the innkeeper. I'm not sure what he was expecting to happen when he made up that ridiculous "Golden Galleon" story, but as far as I'm concerned, he got what he deserved.
Plus, I sort of wanted to join the bandits.
So I went looking for Selene after I left the Bloat. I went to the prison (they will let you visit prisoners) figuring that maybe I could pay her fine and we could call it even, but she wasn't there, and now I'm worried that maybe they just executed her. I'm not sure what sort of penalty they have for stealing an inn.
I absolutely loved that quest. I popped in to rest for a night and.... wtf?

Loved that quest. Totally unexpected.
Being an Orc, I just crushed her head on first contact. Oh well, seems like she's cruisin' for a bruisin' no matter what you do.

I loved that you could terrify her so much that she'd drop her weapon and refuse to fight.

If I recollect rightly, she just vanishes from the game--irrespective of how you handle her.

Yeah, the floating boat is pretty cool actually. I was totally surprised by that quest.

I was surprised at how much she was completely kicking my ass after I took out her glass-jawed partners in crime.
But, inevitably, she fell before the incomprehensible power of my custom class.

Without any spoilers, do you start this quest by talking around in the Floating Bloat?

Spend the night there.

This one really annoyed me, because it's where I found out that my natural invisibility spell wasn't cutscene-proof. I tried sneaking about, and got about two feet before the camera swung round with a cry of "Hey, you!"
