Looking for Jonas and the cards depicting exotic women

[coyotescry]

*Possible side quest spoiler warning:

So this is about a few different things surrounding “Looking for Jonas”. First off I bought the cards of exotic women from Jonas, and as soon as I talked to Aurelea, King Eryk disposes of them from the inventory.

I was wondering if anyone has found a use for the cards like giving them to someone or selling them etc. or if it’s just a silly way to be out 12 gold or however much it was.

And then if the rooster is present when Lady Masha speaks about Jonas it makes it clear she is lying in some capacity so I was wondering if anyone had discovered what the true story is between them and if anyone has taken any different paths on this quest.

Lastly, I saw some guides claiming that in order to get Lady Masha’s aid you have to pay her when she first appears, but I did not do that and after turning over Jonas she still gave me 130 soldiers and 7 gold.

The guide claims that she gives you a large sum of gold so maybe if you give her gold she gives you more than 7 when you turn Jonas over? I am not sure. But anyway, I hope this info is helpful to someone and am curious to hear if anyone found anything else out.

I paid Masha when she visits (-28g). after catching the liar and bringing her back, she gives (+16)(+16) so 32g. a +4g profit.
then also the soldiers and 7g
