Willis

Willis the blacksmith of White Orchard is furious with one of his own townsfolk for razing his smithy to the ground, and seeks someone to investigate the culprit responsible. It could be anyone in White Orchard, but once you agree to help him, your clues lie in the bushes behind the forge, to the south. Use your Witcher Senses to discover the following:

  • The shavings from a tinderbox, and boot prints from a large man.

The trail continues east into the orchards the town is named for. Aside from a urine-soaked tree, the footprints lead directly to the edge of a lake near the Woesong Bridge. Inspect the area near the small rock cluster to see where the arsonist took off his boots and waded into the water.

Follow this lead literally, and wade through the water under the bridge, and back onto the same side of the bank, where a lost boot is found, as well as signs of a scuffle with drowners.The drowers are still active—fight a few of them or flee. The trail continues around and onto the bridge, with the arsonist suffering a light wound, and the footprints continue back into town, ending at the front door of the cottage opposite the tavern. Step inside.

Objectives

  • Follow the trail.
