A Frying Pan, Spick and Span

Find a Pan for Dear Old Gran

Approach the old woman on the river’s sandy shoreline, watching as she mutters about never again lending out anything to strangers, and speak with her. After she explains that she let someone borrow her prized frying pan, which is inside the locked hut, agree to inspect the hut and the strange smells coming from within. Begin your hut infiltration with a swift Aard Sign to smash the door open.

You can also get her attention by blasting Aard at the door before speaking to her. You can also refuse to help her verbally, then enter the hut and help her anyway.

There’s more than just a rotting corpse inside this dwelling. Use your Witcher Senses to discover that the victim’s throat was garroted, as well as a cracked monocle lying nearby. There’s also a pile of smoldering documents in the fireplace. The pan itself is safe and sound; in fact, it’s been scrubbed clean as the mystery man needed the soot to make ink for his clandestine letter-writing.

Back outside, explain your findings, and the fate of the two gentlemen who tussled inside this hut. The papers reveal someone was waiting for a contract to show up, but he never did. You’re given a few crowns for your troubles as this quest concludes. As for the spy who stayed here? It was Thaler!
