A Sheep In Sheep’s Clothing

Travel north out of the village, heading towards a junction in the road. Just past is the corpse of a cow. Use your Witcher Senses to see that this dragon wasn’t very strong if it just tore the cow up and left it here. On a nearby rock is cow’s blood. Follow the trail of it across the field, heading roughly toward the river, and inspect the corpse of a dog, which was dropped from high up. You peer up at an overgrown siege tower, now the nest of a forktail. Time to rustle up some bait.

Back at Vagn’s longhouse, speak to him about finding an unseasoned sheep. He has one, but it’s a bit mangy. And it’s difficult to herd. You appear back at the road junction with Mia, a sheep with the listening instincts and controllability of a one-wheeled wagon. Try the following:

• Use Axii to guide the sheep.
• Approaching it from the left if you want to herd it to the right, and vice versa.
• Back up when you reach the siege tower, after leading the sheep to the vicinity of the dead dog.

The forktail then swoops in once you’re at least 20 yards away, so back up to begin combat with this flying beast. Then prepare to clip the wings of this powerful forktail, and slay this pretend dragon!

End: Lyin’ to Vagn

Cut the head off this forktail, and return to Vagr. Feel free to lie to him when he asks about the fearsome nature of the creature. If he believes you slew a dragon, you receive your full reward. If not, he cuts the reward appropriately. Then the quest concludes.
