Assault On Dun Tynne: Meeting And Beating Roderick

Descend from the Palace, down through the city streets, then across the bridge to the water-side location of Count de la Croix’s Mill. Damien and two of his men, having arrived at the mill at midnight, await Geralt. Damien has formulated a two-point plan of attack; to find Her Grace’s sister, and capture the men who blackmailed the vampire. Damien points to a central keep, which you need to reach. Roderick’s men include his own forces, with an additional group of mercenaries. This is likely to be a bloodbath. You decide to attempt both objectives simultaneously; your plan is to sneak into Dun Tynne, find the sister, and ensure her safety.

You ride to Castle Dun Tynne, hop over the wall, and introduce yourself to four of the castle guards. Slay them in the immediate area; then head to the gatehouse archway where two more Dun Tynne guards need to be slaughtered. Head roughly southeast, through the gatehouse archway.

Emerge from the gatehouse and head along the paved thoroughfare, stopping to remove a trio of guards before reaching a cart near a wooden gate and small belltower. A further six guards, including Roderick himself, are milling about the cart. Offer no mercy to the armored enemies, but temporarily stop your bloodletting when Roderick (who is still alive after your beating) begs you for mercy. Ask him about the Cintrian’s forces, as well as the female hostage. He informs you they are all in the Keep; Syanna is in the top floor of the tower. He knows nothing of a hostage.

After answering your questions, you can:

Give him something to press against his wound to staunch the bleeding, saving his life.

Answer “not my problem,” and leave Roderick to die.
