Journal entry[ | ]
- One day, an old acquaintance ran into Geralt and pulled him aside for a chat. He was a vineyard owner for whom Geralt had completed a contract some time ago. The man had been bereft of adequate coin at the time, but, determined to compensate Geralt fairly one day, he had set up a savings account in the witcher's name at the local bank. Now that years' worth of interest had accrued and Geralt had returned to the duchy, he needed only go to the bank and collect his due.
- Geralt gives Cianfanelli a week to find the money:
- After a long bout of trench warfare against the bank's bureaucracy, Geralt finally reached the bank's owner, Giacomo Cianfanelli. Unfortunately, Giacomo was suffering a small liquidity crisis in regards to Geralt's funds. Geralt decided to take a risk and wait a week, but only on condition that he would not have to procure any additional documents.
- Cianfanelli kept his word and not only gave the witcher his coin, but threw in a present as a bonus – an old family heirloom. It seems the banker meant what his employees were forced to repeat ad nauseam: with him, the customer is always right and he looks after others' coin as if it were his own.
- Geralt forces Cianfanelli to unhand his money right away:
- The witcher's visit to Cianfanelli Bank ended in a very witcher-like fashion. Geralt pummeled the guards who tried to restrain him, fought his way to the owner and in clear, concise terms made it clear he would not tolerate any more delays. He collected as much coin as he could and ended up with the dubious honor of finding himself on the list of clients no longer welcome in the bank.

Vineyard Owner
According to the records, Geralt is dead, so to access his funds at this bank, some paperwork is necessary.
The clerk at records is not much help.
Geralt skipped the queue, upsetting a bank customer.
Then the clerks are on a break.
Waiting patiently Geralt learns from another bank customer, more experienced in traversing the pitfalls of bureaucracy, how to get ahead.
"Say it through the rose."
Finally, Cianfanelli deigns to appear and resolve the issue.
Geralt is led to the vault, to pick up the funding he received for helping the Vineyard Owner. But deposit box 256 is empty!
Geralt gives Cianfanelli one week to replace the contents of the deposit box.
Forcing the issue Geralt got not only less
, he is also no longer a customer at the bank.
Geralt is now on the board of customer that are no longer served by the bank. Ironic since Cianfanelli had actually wronged Geralt by wasting the witcher's money.
