In the Eternal Fire's Shadow
While passing the infamous Devil's Pit, Geralt overheard the desperate pleas of prayer - a prayer he answered.
A young deacon of the Church of the Eternal Fire asked the witcher for aid. It turned out a gang of deserters had taken hold of an abandoned mine, now long haunted by a mysterious specter thought to spread pestilence. Geralt must deal with this plague spirit or risk releasing it unto the world.

Journal
Three hundred long years had filled Reinald with bitterness and spite. He was driven by a singular goal: to exact revenge on the Church of the Eternal Fire in any way he could, no matter the cost. Shortly after meeting with the young cleric, the witcher's ghost murdered the lad in cold blood, destroying his own essence in the process.
In a peculiar twist of fate, it turned out Reinald, a witcher of the Wolf School, had already been possessed by the red miasmal for hundreds of years. Fortunately, Geralt managed to defeat the specter, thus freeing the soul of his ancient brother in arms.
Geralt dared not risk another life at Reinald's word. Instead, he salted and burned the witcher's body to destroy his tormented ghost, thus preventing it from ever becoming a vengeful wraith.
With the young cleric's aid, Geralt managed to quell Reinald's anger and help him find peace at long last.
