One Thousand Years of Slavery (RoM Quest Series)  

I just completed Death of the Brave One, and encountered the choice in quest chains. I chose to kill (let Jaber kill) Bocelli. Jaber offered me the next quest, The Meaning of Existence. However, I took too long reading the story and he despawned and Bocelli popped back up, and offered the alternate quest, Crazy Animals. By the way, speaking to Bocelli again ("What happened" conversation option) restarted the fight and allowed me to talk to Jaber again, so if you want his quest and miss it the first time you can still get it. After taking Jaber's quest, Bocelli came back to life but no longer had the quest to offer.
