You will receive this quest at the end of "A Poet Under Pressure" quest when Dandelion tells you what happened after he and Ciri rescued Dudu from Whoreson Junior's hands.
Ciri had defeated Whoreson and freed Dudu - but then the real trouble started. Junior sounded the alarm and we had to flee as fast as our mounts could take us. Our only possible escape route led to Temple Isle.
You don't have to fight the Whoreson's henchmen. Run towards the gate and when it opens, jump on the horse on the other side and ride up towards the temple.
When you get near the temple entrance, get off your horse, kill a group of guards and enter the temple. When you do this, you will see Ciri, in order to avoid death, teleport herself into the unknown at the last moment and Dandelion will be captured. Then Dandelion's story and this quest will be over.
Once on Temple Isle, our goose was truly cooked. Whoreson's men stopped being our main problem when we suddenly found ourselves surrounded by the Temple Guard. All possible escape routes were cut off and Ciri had no other option but to teleport herself away. As for me, while I put up a brave defense against overwhelming odds, in the end I was captured and tossed into a dungeon.
