This is one of those quests where I think finding notes and hints should change dialogue. I spared the creature (because in this game, I had doubts that it killed anyone...game sort of makes you second guess by now) and turned back around thinking that it may or may not have killed, but I treat it like a wild animal to be avoided more than anything else...as opposed to a manipulative monster like so so many before it have been.

On my way back (because I was doing the quest that deals with the vinyward squabble) I came across a bandit camp I had missed and found a note that says it is them that is killing the traders instead making everyone believe it was the basilisk. Leading me to think the wounds left by the basilisk are superficial and won't kill anybody, like a warning thing. So I reloaded and got the letter first and then spared the creature again, Geralt mentions nothing about the creature being innocent or possibly innocent of any killing. It's a shame that, could have cleared the concious of the count knowing it didn't actually kill anyone, not even in self defense. But at least it gets to live out it's remaining days in peace.
