It seems though that if I started this quest I would have killed the Bard at first word, just as a player preference. What would happen if I did this? Or, if I definitely am not supposed to kill him, what is the reason to not kill him, and what barriers will be in place to make sure I do not slit his throat? (Apart from him being essential of course) Hmm, know that I think about it, maybe he was cursed/blessed by Ol' vile, but not one of his usual curses, instead of it being good and then turning bad, it's bad and then turns good?

Maybe if you don't want to help him, the villagers would pay you if you killed him?
