Characters: Ealdorman of Lindenvale, Witcher (Charlatan)

Enemies: Ghouls, Wraiths

The Liar of Lindenvale

While striding through the village of Lindenvale, the ealdorman calls you all manner of offensive names, which is worth your while stopping and talking to him. He speaks of another witcher, who drank the hamlet dry, rutted the ealdorman’s daughter under his own roof no less, and departed to slay Lindenvale’s cemetery monster. Agree to find this rascal for him.

Objective:

Head east out of the settlement, up the winding path to the top of the hill and look for the church amid the trees. Expect a couple of ghouls and two wraiths to thwart your search of the church grounds. After defeating them, use your Witcher Senses in and around the small church. a set of footprints leads to a stone coffin where a pathetic specimen of a man is lurking.

End: Corpse Eaters and a Fornicating Freak

This wretch freely admits to buying the medallion he wears from a travelling peddler, and pleads with you not to reveal him to be a fake. Two villagers arrive, allowing you to dish out the punishment you see fit. You can:

  • Tell the villagers it took two witchers to slay the ghoul.
  • Or, inform them exactly who this charlatan is.

Then, you can decide the fate of the wannabe witcher:

  • He can toil for the village elder for a year.
  • He can be banished from the village forever.

Once your choices are made, the quest concludes.
