Should I Free or Imprison Gammel?

Rolf is still recruitable regardless if you choose to free or imprison Gammel. Your choice in the matter will only affect Gammel and will not affect Rolf's loyalty to you. He will be disappointed for freeing Gammel though, but will apologize later on when he realizes Alain is the Prince of Cornia.
