Primary quest

Reaping Time is a quest given to Γκέραλτ by Vaska in Chapter III when the witcher goes back to the village, having previously helped rid them of drowners.

Walkthrough[]

the lumberjacks' glade
the cave

While on one of his many trudges through the fens and marshes of the swamp forest, Γκέραλτ decides to go back and visit the brickmakers. Perhaps Vaska knows something more about the Salamanders, who knows?

But it seems that all is not well in the sleepy hamlet. Roland Bleinheim and his band have kidnapped a number of the brickmakers and are forcing them to gather beggartick for the fisstech operation. The eldress knows of the whereabouts of one group of hostages: near the collapsed tower in the north of the swamp. She is so outraged by the actions of the Salamandra towards her people that she asks the witcher to kill Bleinheim quite explicitly.

Γκέραλτ immediately heads out to find the hapless villagers. He locates the first band by the collapsed tower, just as Vaska had said. He spots three Salamandra and their apparent boss guarding the brickmakers. Carefully he circles the area, choosing his optimal location from which to launch his attack. And what an attack it is! In no time at all, the hostages are free and their guards' bodies litter the ground. The grateful rescuees tell the witcher that the two other groups of hostages are being held in the cave, and the Lumberjacks' glade.

Our hero continues and two similar scenes follow, but in the cave with the last group of hostages, there is a surprise. A small boy, the missing boy Γκέραλτ has been looking for since Chapter II, is among them. He speaks to the boy, who rambles on incomprehensibly about Water Lords and whatnot, and determines that the child seems in good health, physically anyway, and sends him on his way.

Having freed everyone, the witcher heads back to the village and Vaska. After he does, Vaska rewards him with a book and the "Blessing of the Water Lords", for which Γκέραλτ is eternally grateful (wink). She also tells him that the druids have been keeping an eye on Salamandra and might prove useful to his investigation. He thanks her and heads off in the direction of the Druids' grove.
