Leave the rag-tag band of Roche’s followers, and gallop south across the fields of hay, and across the eastern bridge (confusingly known as Novigrad Gate, despite being in Oxenfurt!), slowing to a canter as you spot Roche on the other side. Get off your horse, and tell him “let’s go.” Dismount and follow Roche. You’re heading roughly south, passing numerous Redanian guards. In fact, there’s a large number of them, as well as witch hunters. Something isn’t right.
It seems the club has been graced with the presence of King Radovid himself. He professes not to be a fan of the game, as it doesn’t mirror real life. He asks you why he plays chess. Answer him however you wish as the question is mostly rhetorical. He bids you sit with him while he strains his metaphors and shows his madness. Answer as you like (regarding your understanding of what he speaks about). Radovid tells you a hidden truth; that a monarch is always surrounded by fools. Answer again, then Roche interrupts you by telling the king you’re about to explain why you’re here. Tell him you’re looking for Whoreson.
The king is surprisingly helpful, letting you know he’s placed Whoreson in an Oxenfurt mansion. To enter, you must tell the guards you’ve come about the new whores. “Fresh women” are constantly being sent there, and aren’t treated well, apparently. When you ask why this information was so easy to come by, the king tells you he expects a favor from you in return. You will be contacted in due course. This occurs as the last of these sister quests. Once outside, you both remark on Radovid’s descent into madness. Then Roche requests you return to his camp at some point; he has a terrible problem with Ves and needs someone to talk some sense into her.
