A Walk on the Waterfront

A Dandy out of His Depth

Close to the wooden winch crane, by the warehouses on the western end of the south docks in Novigrad, there’s the start of a kefuffle between three bandits and a nobleman. Step in before the dandy suffers a knife in the guts, and the bandits try the same to you.

Teach them a lesson—either with fists a flying or swordplay aplenty. When the three are defeated, speak to Ginter de Lavirac. He requests you join him (a few paces behind, naturally) for a stroll along the docks. Agree.

End: A Walk on the Wild Side

Stay a few paces behind Ginter as he heads east, down a cobblestone ramp, and a second wooden crane. At this point, barge through and bring down four more bandits before they wound Ginter. This was obviously an ambush, but Ginter doesn’t tell you why they knew where he’d be. Continue on, along the cobblestone dockside, and as you head under a deck, prepare for another group of four thugs to slay

Continue the walk until you reach the end of the docks near the tower, and a couple of fisstech dealers step up to speak to Ginter. It now transpires that Ginter is a hifalutin narcotics buyer for some extremely important clients. He introduces you as his gardener. When the dealers attempt to fleece him for 5,000 crowns instead of 4,000, he asks you to back him up.

You can:

• Agree that you will (“Right”), and the dealers back down.
• Refuse (“Wrong”), and the dealers take care of Ginter, paying you the same amount that Ginter offered you, for your lack of interference.

After the deal, you’re paid your fee, and the quest concludes.
