Dialog[edit]

Geralt: Greetings, good man. Having trouble with your well? That's what I read.

Odolan: Aye. 'Tis haunted. Has been for a good twenty years.

Geralt: Twenty? So why'd you put out a notice just now?

Odolan: Cause earlier on we drew our water from the river. But so many corpses floatin' in it after the battle, it's turned noxious. Me daughter Mandy drank half a pitcher, fell dreadful ill, can't keep nothing down... she grows worse by the day. Herbalist claims you fight a fever with drink. And not beer nor cider, but water - clear, pure water. And where'm I to get that if not from the well? But first the ghost's gotta be driven away. And it won't let any man near.

Geralt: This ghost - describe it for me.

Odolan: It looks... like a woman, but fresh from the grave. Wears a dirty dress, all rags, its skin flaking off its bones. And it howls... like it's sufferin'

Geralt: Some wraith... or maybe an alp.

Odolan: If you don't wallop it, master... if you don't take care of it, that is, it'll come kill me daughter.

Geralt: (I'll help you./Let's talk about my reward).

Geralt: Fine, I'll help. Where's this well?

Odolan: In Hovel, a settlement on the heights. It's abandoned now, no one ventures there on account of the ghost being about. Drive it off, please!

Strategy Guide/Tips[edit]

As a Witcher you can negotiate the price/rewards for your contracts. There is a sort of mini-game for it when you can say that it's too dangerous and you want more money for it.
