After "meeting" with Cynebert at St. Hadrian's Priory, reloading the save may allow the player to encounter his NPC actor walking along the road into the priory grounds, despite the fact that he is dead as of this moment in the narrative.

	As is the case with several previous "ride-and-talks" in the main story arcs, the dialogue with Basim is perfectly timed to following the road from the starting point to the destination, ending the dialogue at arrival. In this scenario, the player has a bit more freedom in that it is entirely optional, the game does not lock them to a particular horse speed that best suits the script, and it is paced for traveling at conventional horseback speed. However, this ride does not account for random encounters that load along the road, such as bandit ambushes scripted in revenge for Eivor killing some of them. If the player ends up in combat, Basim's dialogue will cut off until returning to anonymity, but he will continue advancing towards Canterbury. This will cause his remaining dialogue to be skipped upon reaching Canterbury's outskirts. Arrows can interrupt his horse's movement without interrupting his speech, and in this scenario, the dialogue will loop back to the very start after Eivor says "This place reeks of the piety of priests," whether or not they are near Canterbury.

	Just like in [[Beamasfield]] during [[Puppets and Prisoners]], Basim may not use his hood once he starts following Eivor after the horse ride. This means all guards will attack him on sight, but the player will only be "discovered" if they join the fighting or an aggressive soldier trips over them while hiding. Saving and reloading after reaching Canterbury should fix Basim's disguise.

			After "meeting" with Cynebert at St. Hadrian's Priory, reloading the save may allow the player to encounter his NPC actor walking along the road into the priory grounds, despite the fact that he is dead as of this moment in the narrative.

In this scenario, the player has a bit more freedom in that it is entirely optional, the game does not lock them to a particular horse speed that best suits the script, and it is paced for traveling at conventional horseback speed. However, this ride does not account for random encounters that load along the road, such as bandit ambushes scripted in revenge for Eivor killing some of them.

This will cause his remaining dialogue to be skipped upon reaching Canterbury's outskirts.

			It is possible to re-enter Fulke's torture room only immediately after the final cutscene with Basim. After reloading the area, the door is once again sealed, and her journal therein can no longer be read.
