Upon inspecting the corpse, Geralt realizes that the monster is a striga: a female monster of incredible speed and strength who hunts living beings during a full moon. Geralt is angry that Triss and Foltest lied and claimed the witcher ran…because they didn’t want the truth to get out that the monster bested a *witcher*. Triss shows Geralt some of the victims’ corpses, including the other witcher. Triss doesn’t know what the monster is, but she is sure that it is not a vukodlak. Geralt says that vukodlaks are freak mutations: they can’t be cured. Triss claims she wasn’t, but adds that if Adda had been pregnant, that child would’ve been the sole heir to the Temerian throne, as King Foltest is unmarried and childless.įearing that Temeria might overthrow their king, the Brotherhood of Sorcerers sent Triss to Foltest three months ago with the primary goal of curing the monster. Geralt asks if Princess Adda was pregnant when she died. The crypt belongs to Princess Adda (Foltest’s sister), who was rumored to have been having an affair with a young man in Old Vizima just before she died. When the royal guards realized the monster was coming from a royal crypt, King Foltest fled the castle, and has ignored the rising death toll for about a year. Before long, citizens were disappearing throughout all of Temeria. Triss later explains that people started disappearing from Foltest’s old castle about six years ago.
Triss Merigold ( Anna Shaffer): mage of the Brotherhood of Sorcerers and an advisor to King Foltest. Geralt intimidates the innkeeper into taking care of Roach while he goes to Temeria and procures more coin. Geralt pays her with the last of his coin…but since he failed to also pay for the room, they are both kicked out by the innkeeper. She claims that Temeria has a “pest problem”, and a group of miners rounded up 3,000 orens to hire a witcher, but then the witcher took the coin and ran. The monster ambushes the witcher and kills him.Įlsewhere, Geralt of Rivia ( Henry Cavill) spends the night with…err…let’s say “female companionship for hire”? As Geralt ignores her singing Jaskier’s songs and deflects questions about a scar inflicted by Renfri, Geralt’s companion shares that another witcher came through her town a month ago, headed to the Kingdom of Temeria. The witcher demands 3,000 orens up front from the boy’s father and goes to where the boy had been attacked. The boy claims that it was a vukodlak: a type of vampire. The episode opens with a dying and heavily wounded boy telling a witcher ( Gudmundur Thorvaldsson) about the monster that attacked him. Continue reading with caution: you have been warned! DISCLAIMER: This The Witcherrecap contains more SPOILERS than the number of victims fed upon by a striga.
