Spoiler alert!!
So as a PoM I had to go inside the Tortage keep and free Bartholomos daughter as payment for him to get the medallion part from Strom.
When I freed the daughter she talks about her dad in past tense as if it's implicit that he's probably being killed by the Red hand: "my dad is.. was.."
Did I miss something, or is Bartholomo's death only hinted at like this? Is it certain that he is dead? Because he will probably stand outside his shop in morning anyway -.-
