Emil And The Cow Carnage

Objective:

  • Examine the cow carcass and the workman’s body.

Head to where the remains of the cow have crushed poor Emil, and fight off around four Ghouls that are sniffing around the corpses. Shoo any carrion feeding, and begin a thorough inspection, examining the following:

  • (Wounds on the worker’s body) Crushed by something heavy with a cracked skull. Yep, Emil is dead alright. Necrophages were chewing on him after his death.
  • (Blunt trauma wounds on the cow) Tissue is crushed in places, indicating the cow fell from a great height.
  • (Bite wounds on the cow) The guts are sliced open, but the lack of blood indicates it happened post mortem. There are small tooth marks.
  • (Punctures and slashes on the cow) Deep claw wounds and the talon spread indicates a draconid, like a wyvern.
  • (Cause of accident) When all other inspections are complete, you surmise the cow fell when a draconid dropped it; a youngster trying to get the cow back to its nest, perhaps. Bad luck, Emil!

Objective:

  • Use your Witcher Senses to investigate how the crane was damaged.

Now for the crane. Turn and face the large crane attached to the side of the quarry bank, and climb up onto the top perimeter edge of the quarry all the way to the grass and rocks above the crane itself. Then examine a strange and bloody dent in the crane support; the draconid must have dropped the cow because it was too heavy, lost its balance, and hit the crane while trying to steady itself. It must have been wounded. Good; it should be simple to track down.
