In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, numerous side quests demand crucial decisions impacting NPCs' fates. This guide focuses on the Cabbage Thief quest and the dilemma surrounding Sauerkraut Pepa.
Initiating the Cabbage Thief Quest
Begin the Cabbage Thief side quest by conversing with Bailiff Thrush in Troskowitz. He's usually found wandering the village during the day or within the tavern. Inquire about recent town events, and he'll reveal the cabbage thefts, directing you to the grocer south of Troskowitz to officially commence the quest.
Locating the Cabbage Thief

Follow the trail of scattered cabbages leading towards Nebakov Fortress. This trail will guide you down a concealed path alongside the river, where you'll discover a cabbage-filled cart. Sauerkraut Pepa, the culprit, is just ahead.
To Spare or to Turn In Sauerkraut Pepa?
When confronting Pepa, you face three choices: release him, kill him, or hand him over to authorities.
Sparing Pepa: He'll reward you with sauerkraut and offer to prepare more if you provide him with cabbages. His sauerkraut is a valuable non-perishable food item providing significant healing and nourishment.
Killing or Turning In Pepa: Bailiff Thrush will reward you with 789 groschen.
The decision hinges on your immediate needs – money or healing items. Considering the ease of acquiring money through dice games with the right strategy, the healing benefits of Pepa's sauerkraut might prove more advantageous.
