The Vegelbud races are an altogether more high-class affair. You must bring 100 crowns to pay the race master each time you wish to participate, so it pays to know the courses before you start galloping. You don’t have a choice of rider or course to challenge; simply beat the first rider to move on to the second, then the final race against the tricky Luc Vegelbud. If you fail, simply pay to race again.
Follow the routes shown on the associated maps. There are three variations to this course. You receive the following rewards after beating each rider in any order:
After beating the annoying Luc Vegelbud, one of Carlo “Cleaver” Varese’s henchdwarves calls you over to congratulate you, and extends his boss’ salutations, too. He hands you a letter. Read it, then visit (when you wish) Cleaver’s headquarters in Novigrad, just west of Hierarch Square. He asks if you’ll race in Palio. This occurs during the night through the city streets. Agree.
You’re racing two others (riders from Dijkstra and Bedlam) the other members of the Big Four not currently holed up in Oxenfurt, killing wenches. Follow the course shown in the adjacent map, concentrate on beating both the other riders as you race through Novigrad and back through Farcorners. Win, and you receive an obscene amount of crowns from Cleaver as well as some blinders (keeping Roach from panicking). Lose, and expect just some obscenities. The quest then concludes.
