Indecent Proposal

Indecent Proposal is a quest in Chapter I of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings.

Walkthrough
The side quest starts automatically. Loredo invites the witcher to come see him at his residence. After getting into the compound (at 10:00 pm) and if Geralt hasn't yet killed the kayran, a merchant interrupts Geralt and Vernon as they are discussing what to do next and mentions that there is a component for a kayran trap hidden in the rear compound. This prompts Roche to offer to distract the first guard in order to allow Geralt in.

The witcher then finds a second guard patrolling back and forth, easily sneaks by him by going around the other side of the boulder to the right of the guard. He can also sneak up behind the guard and knock him out to make the return trip a bit easier.

He then sees a third guard around the corner watching the door, but that guard moves away and proceeds to take a piss.


 * Note: Be careful of the bucket next to the wall around the corner. If you go too quickly, you will tip it over and alert the guards. Avoid the bucket and knock out the guard as he is distracted.

After having dealt with the third guard, Geralt find the door he was guarding locked, so he must climb the ridge to your right, and jump down to the other side of the door to enter the compound.

Once inside, and after a bit of sneaking around, a mini-cutscene showing Síle and Loredo talking via a window is triggered. Taking note of the walking patterns of the guards in the area, Geralt then proceeds to either avoid them as he makes his way around, or knock them out making it a bit easier to get around unnoticed. He then climbs up the ladder nearest the window where Sile and Loredo were talking to listen in on their conversation.

After hearing the conversation, he then explores the area for loot, which consists mainly of chests of orens, timber, and diamond / amethyst dust.

This concludes the quest. Whether or not Geralt searches for the component needed to make the kayran trap, the choice does not impact the status of the quest.

Journal entry

 * When the dust at the gallows had settled, Loredo invited Geralt for a talk. Even if we ignore the fact that witchers, like troubadours and scholars, never refuse free board, it was a good occasion to feel out the commander. Geralt accepted the invitation.


 * Geralt reached the place in the company of Vernon Roche. If he had been going to a country dance, I would have considered it a poor choice. However his aim was to gain information about the kingslayer.


 * The commander turned out to be a busy man, and our heroes were rudely turned away at his door. They decided to wait downstairs and talk.


 * If Geralt successfully sneaks into the rear compound:
 * When Geralt realized that Loredo's important business was with a sorceress, he nearly gasped. You should know that the witcher is extremely partial to sorceresses, and never misses an opportunity with one. And the mistresses of magical arts also afford him exceptional favor. Can you imagine the thrill he felt at the news that a sorceress was holding a clandestine meeting with the most important man in the area? Sneaking around the back of the building to eavesdrop was the only course of action! It should be added that one of the merchants invited to the party told Geralt where to get a piece of a trap for the kayran. Even then the witcher was thinking of a way to hunt down the monstrosity prowling the river, and a trap could prove very handy. Our hero only had to sneak to the back of Loredo's mansion, to a chest standing on a wooden platform by the wall.


 * Skillfully evading guards and assorted obstacles, the witcher moved through the garden to the back of the building. Once there, he overheard the commandant and the sorceress conversing. They were clearly involved in some scheme together, yet just as clearly at each other's throats. It was all well worth hearing! Our hero, silent as the days that follow a marital quarrel, returned to talk to Vernon Roche.


 * Richer for having overheard this and that, Geralt found Vernon Roche, and the two went to see Loredo, this time using the front door.


 * If Geralt accepts Loredo's offer:
 * Loredo made the witcher an offer. Geralt was to capture Iorveth and thus repay the dept he had incurred on the scaffold. I need not explain the difficulty of this task. Suffice it to say, an entire military garrison had been unable to complete it. In spite of very poor odds, the witcher accepted the job.


 * Thus the witcher left the commandant's mansion as a friend. Loredo was certain he had found the perfect tool with which to carry out his less than honorable plan, but time would prove just how wrong he was...


 * If Geralt declines Loredo's offer:
 * Loredo made the witcher an offer. Geralt was to capture Iorveth and thus repay the dept he had incurred on the scaffold. I need not explain the difficulty of this task. Suffice it to say, an entire military garrison had been unable to complete it. Geralt, however, mindful of the witchers' code, declined.


 * When the witcher declined, Loredo grew outright irate. Leaving the commandant's house, Geralt suspected he might have made a new enemy. Time would prove him right.
