Path #1: Siding With “The Gambling Heathen”, Louis.

Choose to side with Louis, and locate Margot’s urn, behind the ghost of the Lebioda devotee. Margot appears, and pleads that if you truly must remove her from her resting place, that she should be deposited somewhere more pleasant. She wishes to be buried with her mother, in the old cemetery, just outside the city walls, and beneath the outspread arms of a chestnut tree.

Exit the de Corentin Crypt, and head out of the Temple Cemetery, moving south to Lebioda’s Gate, and the “old Cemetery,” also known as the Orlemurs Cemetery. You’re looking for a tombstone bearing Margot’s mother’s name, Micheline Belrose, at the family tomb here. It is located just by the southern entrance arch. Inspect each gravestone until you find the one bearing the Belrose name, and put the urn there.

Back at the de Corentin Crypt, Louis is nowhere to be found. You possibly expected as much from this cad. The objective updates, and Louis remains hidden until you gather up his urn, and threaten to remove it.

Louis appears, admits to being a fraud, and has no idea where the hidden stash of Gwent cards are! But he’ll think of something as a reward…and remembers a swordsmith by the name of Trentin, who had promised him a blade after he was skinned in a game of Gwent. Alas, Louis passed on before claiming this prize. Why not collect it in his stead? And just like Louis, Trentin’s wife would summon Master Mirror himself if she found out her husband partook in such gambling; so you have all the verbal ammunition you need.

PATH #1: BLAGGING THE BEAUCLAIR BLACKSMITH

Visit the Beauclair Blacksmith, in the rather well-to-do shop Trentin owns next to the Armorer, equidistant between the Nilfgaardian Embassy and The Gran’Place. Head upstairs, and explain that you’re here for Louis’ sword. Mention the Blacksmith’s Gwent habit, and he soon realizes he must give the sword over. Once in your possession, Trentin asks whether you might wager some coin for a game of Gwent? Agree or reject his offer (you cannot play him later, but he’s got no unique rewards, so whether to engage in a game is up to you), and this Path concludes.
