Мафия 23. The Rockland tavern

A ranger most likely visited Vegtam, as boots are mentioned, while a bard and a rogue wear something else on their feet.

Oh... you're right, about the footwear!

Then it really could have been a ranger... But there are two possibilities - either he didn't become a maniac (that's why Veg is alive), or some kind of natural defense of Vegtam worked - and again, he is alive.
