Uncovering Derrick the Dead
objective:
|
Something stinks around here worse than Zoltan’s posing pouch, and it is hidden in the long grass near the small stone bridge and low wall, just north of the Gate of the Hierarch. When you pick up the smell, optionally use your Witcher Senses to follow the odor to its source. A murder of crows flap away from a corpse. Examine it to see the poor fellow was stabbed by a sword. Then loot a key.
| ITEM: Quest Item: Key |
Further examination of the area using your Witcher Senses reveals the murdered man fled to this point before collapsing. Trace his footprints across the street and around a corner to a small wooden structure. Enter, and you find three dwarf bandits allied to Cleaver, ransacking the man’s home. They mockingly explain that they slew “Derrick,” and have instructions from Cleaver to slay anyone who finds this den.
End: Avoiding a Chib Between Your Ribs

The dwarven bandits present two options:
- Hand over the key. You receive a small reward for your troubles.
- Tell them you don’t like being threatened. This naturally starts a fracas with you and the three diminuative bandits. Slay all three of them.
When the situation has been resolved, you can search for the treasure chest, on the north side of the ground floor of Derrick’s Den. Use the key to open it, and claim coins (100 orens and 50 crowns), as the quest concludes:
