Dirty Funds

During his stay in White Orchard, a certain letter found its way into Geralt's possession. Intrigued by its appearance, he decided to read it first chance he got.

Things are going better and better for us. We've pitched camp in the heart of the forest, near the old mill, and have already done quite nice for ourselves. Folk are poor, so they say, but squeeze them and something always pops out - sack of grain here, a few crowns there. Not bad for easy work, certainly better than the army. At least we've got something to fill our bellies, and the risk that we'll pay for this all with our lives, well, it's still less than when we were charging the Nilfs at Natalis' orders.

Geralt found the camp, but the deserters refused to surrender their treasure without a fight. They attacked the witcher at once - which proved a fatal error. Geralt vanquished them without much trouble, searched the camp and found a sizeable cache of valuables.
