“Ever Fight A Witcher, You Piece Of S#!T?”

Dismount, and begin an inspection of the area around the wagon using your Witcher Senses:

• A dead horse lies to the side of the wagon.
• A corpse by the wagon has been shredded and the blood licked up; to the last drop. The Garkain ate its fill here and is holed up nearby, digesting the meal.
• There are faint noises coming from under the bridge that spans the river to the Cockatrice Inn, roughly northwest of you. Spot the noises using your Witcher Senses, and the red, glowing form of the Garkain hanging upside down under the bridge.

You edge forward, sword in hand. It seems Uncle Arnaud was the last one to be savaged and drained. His twisted corpse lies under the slumbering Garkain. It senses you advancing, drops to the ground, and lets out a shriek. Battle the Alpha Garkain, using the techniques detailed of the Bestiary. Remember this Garkain uses its brain waves to flummox you; should this occur, be sure to respond by lobbing Samum or Moon Dust bombs to disable these psychic attacks. Respond with careful sword strikes coated in Vampire Oil, and swig Black Blood if the Garkain hits you.
