Quest Text
“The White Wolf”, “the Butcher of Blaviken” – Geralt gathered many sobriquets on his Path, one of which was the colorful and, I dare say, apt, appellation of “Puss Peepers.” This he gained during his adventure with Olgierd, when a cheeky young woman in Olgierd’s company pinned him as the man best able to track down the scoundrel who killed her friend, Kluivert.
Starting NPC
Name: Young woman
Additional Info
When you first exited Olgierd’s manor, you were stopped by a young woman who wanted you to investigate the murder of her friend Kluivert.
