Contract: Lord of the Wood

Contract: Lord of the Wood is one of the contracts available in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.


 * Contract: Devil in the Woods
 * Dear witcher, sir (if any be present hereabouts, that is)
 * I've a hunch – eh, what am I saying – I'm dead certain that the woods I was lucky enough to gain possession of – or at least, I felt lucky about that till recently – that these woods are home to a cruel creature, a devil of some kind. I hired a gang of dwarven loggers not long back to harvest lumber. Strapping lads, every last one having cut down many a mighty tree in his life. So you can imagine my surprise when said loggers all disappeared, all save one, and he claimed to have seen a monster. I've marked out a bounty for freeing my stretch of woods from all foul creatures, and dearly hope that soon I will have the pleasure of giving it to someone.
 * Sincerely,
 * – Brean Hotsch

Journal entry

 * A certain halfling named Brean Hotsch had hung a notice stating he was in need of a professional monster slayer. Geralt decided to see what was the matter.


 * After a detailed investigation of the shrubbery and thicketry lining the forest floor (what exactly he looks for during such investigations is a complete mystery to me - I see nothing but endless chances to tear one's hose), Geralt concluded he was tracking a leshen. In order to defeat this elusive monster, he would first need to provoke it into attacking him. That's right, dear reader: he planned to deliberately provoke a leshen - the very thought sends shivers down my spine.


 * Once Geralt had defeated the leshen, the halfling paid up without making any fuss. There's no denying it: Brean Hotsch proved himself an honorable individual.
