Triss says the creature has been coming from the crypt of Foltest's sister, Adda.
But the spirited sorceress doesn't want to kill it-she wants to save it. Triss, who will be very familiar to fans of the Witcher games, asks Geralt to help her deal with the beast. That is until a certain Triss Merigold shows up, sending the soldiers to sleep and freeing him. They order the miners to stand down and escort Geralt to the border. But before the uprising gets anywhere, Temerian soldiers arrive. They think their king, Foltest, is hiding in his castle, refusing to deal with the monster-which they're convinced is a vukodlak, a kind of werewolf. They're wary of the witcher, but warm to him when Geralt says he'll take a third of the bounty-and after the monster has been slain. The witcher rides to Temeria, which is in the grip of winter, and locates the miners. Geralt tells the man he'll be back soon with his money, and warns him not to touch his horse. The landlord bangs on the door, demanding payment for the room. Prepare for The Witcher season 2 with all of our episode guides:
