Scrutinizing the Baron's Bedchamber

Follow the Baron up the stairs (listening to the anecdote about his daughter Tamara and a deer’s arse), enter the Baron’s bedchamber, and then Tamara’s nearby room. You’re here to make a thorough and complete sweep of all rooms on this floor of the castle, with your Witcher Senses picking out areas of particular interest. In the Baron’s bedchamber, find the following:

• A wooden candlestick with a broken stem.
• Fresh flowers on a side table (the Baron hopes his kin will return soon).
• A differently-colored section of the right wall where a painting once hung.
• A picture of the Baron and his wife. They look happy enough until you examine this picture more closely—which was moved from the right wall—and discover a hole behind the painting.
• Head around to the wardrobe behind the painting. Inside is a piece of candlestick; someone smashed it against a wall, and it broke through into the wardrobe.
• Check the wooden pillar near the desk; there are deep nicks as if a heavy object struck it.
• Return to the table with the candlestick on it. You can now make out wine stains from a smashed bottle. The wine stains are still visible.

Follow the scent trail across the landing and down the steps you just walked up with the Baron. As the scent disperses on the small landing between floors, examine a loose floorboard, and remove a strange folk talisman hidden underneath.
