Trouble at the Tavern

Objectives:

  • Go to the taven in White Orchard. Ask travelers about Yennefer.
  • Nearest Signpost: Woesong Bridge.

Canter into town, and dismount at the tavern. Once inside, the patrons could best be described as “jumpy”. Conversing with the bar-woman, who advises you to speak to the travelers drinking here if you want information on either of the women you’re trying to find.

While Vesemir finishes his drink, speak to the two nearby peasants at a table. There are differing conversation options, including one that uses your Axii Sign, but none reveal any information of note (aside from the racism against those of your kind). A second pair of patrons offer you little more than an introduction to the card game Gwent, so focus your attention on the bald, shifty-looking customer sitting by the window. He knows of Yennefer by name, and reckons the Nilfgaardians may know more about her whereabouts.

Objective:

As you exit the tavern, two armored peasants and a thug decide to threaten you with a mixture of racism and unarmed combat. Even an Axii dialogue choice only ends in violence. Retaliate with the following:

Quickly block the incoming strikes, and retaliate with a series of fast attacks and dodges from your fists, until all three are knocked out.

Or draw your weapon, optionally use Signs, and slaughter these ne’er-do-wells where they stand.

This situation can only end in violence. At this point, you can begin to explore the town of White Orchard, optionally completing some Secondary Quests in the area.
