Contract: The Oxenfurt Drunk

Witcher contractVelen and Novigrad

Oxenfurt the academy may be my alma mater, but Oxenfurt the town - that is where I received my true education. The experiences I had in its inns and alleyways often left me a trembling wreck, overwhelmed by the majesty of the world opening up before me. Sadly, during the Third Nilfgaardian War the town became a shadow of its former self, and the few who remained in its inns and alleyways risked not enlightenment but death at the hands of a mysterious murderer. Geralt, bless his heart, decided to investigate the matter, suspecting that the responsible party might be a monster...

Journal

Geralt had dealt with a great variety of beasts over the course of his career as a witcher, but an alcoholic vampire...? That was a first (well, except for maybe that one - but that was long ago). This katakan (as witchers call this manner of beast) had taken a liking to the blood of drunk men. Once Geralt figured this out, he knew exactly how to lure it out of hiding.

Geralt fought the katakan, but sadly the beast fled the first chance it got. Vampires never do make for easy foes. Geralt decided to use his Witcher Senses to hunt the monster down.

At last, success was his! Geralt tracked down and killed the katakan. The Redanian soldiers who had hired him kept their word and paid him appropriately for a job well done.
