(WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD) Although I'm two years too late, I've figured out a way to arrest Pious but still be able to collect his dice without killing him.

Before you say I stole this from the wiki, I put this info in the wiki myself :)

If you've talked to Sir Radzig, you can arrest Pious after helping him get out of the Monastery. He will initiate a fist fight with you, and when you win, you will take him to the Bailiff in Rattay. However, you won't be able to get Pious' dice this way. Fortunately, there is a little trick you can do to arrest Pious, AND still get the dice from him without killing him. After he is taken to the Rattay jail, lockpick his jail cell door. If there's a guard sitting on the bench directly behind you, continue lockpicking the door, as he does not care if you break into Pious' jail cell. After you break in, close the door behind you and DO NOT silently knock him out. This will end up killing him for some reason. Instead, punch him once or twice. He will then get knocked out and you will be able to loot his body for both the dice and his groschen. The guard will rush into the room, where you can then pass a speech check or bribe him in order to stay a free man. Pious will then regain consciousness in 30 minutes, and you will have successfully gotten Pious' dice without killing him nor letting him escape a free man.

If ur trying to be a morally good person, this is the best choice for you.

Nice, I like it.

Thank you.

Considering how eager he was to let me murder and frame someone else, I figured that in truth the moral choice was to whack him back at the monastery. That prevents him from getting back out into the world at large and doing more evil.

[MacSuibhne]

I considered that too--it's certainly a good reason / rationale. In the end though, I made the choice I thought was right for me and consistent with my duties--I took him to jail, where, AFAIK, he gets hung.

Yep sorry I fixed it, but I don't really think its a spoiler tbh. It doesn't reveal any twists about the future of the main quest, nor give away who Pious is. If you're not at this part of the main quest, then you probably have no idea what im talking about, which i dont technically think is a spoiler, although i guess helping him out of the monastery could be a spoiler

It's ok. I think I got a SUPER major spoiler just searching KCD on google. It's too late for anything now, lol.

If it's the one i think you mean, there's a couple of hints towards it that you could pick up on. I read a spoiler and the next mission i was ... "oh.... OH...." so wasn't too bad for me :P

You can also fake his death, by ordering I think goats blood onto a tablet in the kitchen of the monastery, and using it in the chapel. Pious helps with this. You both sneak out of the monastery and he gives you the dice outside.

that never happened for me. after i helped him fake his death, i had three options. i could tell him to run off, i could tell him i was going to kill him, or i could tell him i was taking him to the bailiff. im guessing if u chose the first option, he'd give u the dice, but the only way to actually arrest him is to choose the 3rd option. and if u choose the 3rd option he automatically starts fisting u and doesn't give u the dice

yes only by letting him go do you get his die. And it even is not required to enter the camp, we can pass some speech check and keep the unique die.

Way it went for me...

after I took Pious to jail, I went to meet the guys in the camp. they attacked me and I killed them. I looted their bodies and I got 3, 4 (?) dies--all the same die Pious was carrying and the same die needed to get into the camp.

damn so all that effort for nothing. i haven't met the bandits yet, but i assumed that u needed pious' die to infiltrate the camp. i didn't think all the other bandits carried one as well lol

If you'e thinking the one I meant is the one I'm thinking you mean I meant, it wasn't as bad I guess since 2 seconds before I saw it I had already thought that out loud as a personal theory after enough cues in the dialogue.....

OMFG SPOILERS D:

I only JUST reached the part of the story where I join the monastery. It feels like an entirely different game.
