Talk:Following the Thread (The Witcher 3)/@comment-44700110-20200120230055

Went to Skellige, did Flesh for Sale...wandered back into town, all the pirates INCLUDING HAMMOND attacked me...and I killed them all...including Hammond. Now doing Following the Thread and am at the part where I have to go find Hammond...except Hammond is dead! So can I finish this part and head back to Novigrad or have I blown the quest by eliminating the Hammond link prematurely?
