Go to Corvo Bianco and examine the body kept in its cellar.
(Optional) Use your Witcher Senses to investigate the site of the massacre.
Whistle for Roach, and gallop across the bridge, following the roadways through the beautiful rolling grassland with a slight incline, into the Sansretour Valley area of Toussaint. Slow down as you enter the grounds of the Corvo Bianco winery, as a bolting horse, rolling barrel, and gurgling guardsman indicates a recent battle. Perhaps related to that strange woman you thought you saw back at the inn?
(Optional) Make a sweep of this carnage-filled scene:
The body between the splintered wine barrels has busted ribs and blood oozing from the ears. It took a solid hit before dying.
The corpse slumped by the curved wall has had his throat torn open by man-like jaws.
The still-bleeding fellow draped over the wall post was killed by a single blow.
A discarded coat on the cobblestone ground matches one worn by the woman from the inn.
By the cellar entrance, a guardsman staggers out and collapses.
It seems your clues are leading you to a cellar investigation. There are more clues to inspect:
The upturned cart has river muck; it carried the body here.
The cart tracks show the attacker had no trouble knocking over the cart.
Two further corpses at the cellar entrance have claw wounds from five separate claws, with a spread about the size of a small human hand.
There is also a small flock of different kinds of birds perched all over the courtyard and on the cellar entrance overhang. What does that signify?
Your investigation concludes the guardsmen were slain by a vampire; but not one you’ve previously encountered in the Northern Realms. This is the work of a Bruxa!
Objectives
Find the Beast’s victim’s body in the cellar.
Defeat the Bruxa
Your investigation (using your Witcher Senses) can continue as you descend the wooden stairs into the cellar.
There are small, bare-footed prints leading deeper intothe cellar.
A crumpled corpse indicates the man fell down the stairs and broke his neck.
Turn left, inspecting a man slumped against a wall near a grating; he was hurled against the wall with great force.
Beyond the grating is the remains of a grate (battered with force) and another corpse. Step around the rolling barrel.
You enter the main cellar. The Bruxa seems to be protecting something corpse-shaped on an alcove table. You explain that you know what she is. There is no reasoning with this vampire; it must be slain!
