Journal Entry [ ]

Geralt'due south starting time clue? A brutally murdered and mangled trunk. The villagers all agreed the Woodland Spirit had killed the man - but their explanations of this creature's motives could non take been more than dissimilar. The elders among them claimed the Spirit, who had cared for their village for generations, was now punishing them for having cleaved the pact they had once made. Every bit for the youth nowadays, they claimed the Woodland Spirit was nothing but a cruel brute that killed for its own pleasure - and that rather than worship it, they should get rid of it once and for all.
Geralt promised to help with their trouble - though he did not yet know which side was right. The witcher exercised his better judgment and decided his starting time motion must be to detect out what this Woodland Spirit really was - and why it had begun to kill.
If Geralt sides with Sven:
Fayrlund's supposed guardian turned out to be a leshen - a rare and unsafe monster that can force animals, plants and, as soon became clear, fifty-fifty people to practice its bidding. For generations the villagers had worshipped[sic] it and offered it sacrifices, and all the while it leeched off their life strength, a parasite masquerading as a guardian. A ring of immature warriors led past Sven questioned the old lodge and asked Geralt to take care of the monster in the style of witchers.
Geralt agreed. While he was away tracking the leshen in the nearby woods, Sven decided to usher in the new era himself by murdering all the village elders. When Geralt arrived back in the settlement information technology was too tardily to save information technology from fratricidal bloodshed. He thus nerveless his reward from a man who had killed more than people in 1 afternoon than the monster had in years and walked away from the village without a backwards glance.
If Geralt renews the pact...
Geralt made two discoveries during his investigation. First of all, the Woodland Spirit turned out to exist a leshen - a rare monster, though one known to witchers. Secondly, to his great surprise Geralt found that this beast truly did help the village of Fayrlund, training the villagers in nighttime rituals how to become unequaled hunters and warriors. Those who didn't survive its trials never returned from the woods - though information technology exacted a price in human lives.
...only then walks away at the end:
The monster had become intertwined with the village - so integral to their style of life that Geralt decided it was safer to renew the old pacts made with the animal than to kill it. The village youth, all the same, could not be reconciled to a render to the sometime order. Though defective the courage to impale the hated Woodland Spirit themselves, they mustered enough bravery to rise up confronting the elders who worshipped[sic] information technology. Geralt left the hamlet before the mortality started. After all, the office of a witcher is to protect men from monsters, non from themselves.
...then defends Harald:
Even so, the witcher decided more expert would come from renewing the old pact betwixt the villagers and the leshen than from killing the beast. Harald, leader of the village elders, rewarded the witcher for keeping the old traditions alive. The village youth, even so, with Sven in the lead, could non be reconciled to a return to the onetime order. Though lacking the courage to kill the hated Woodland Spirit themselves, they mustered enough bravery to rise up confronting the elders who worshipped[sic] information technology.
It fell upon Geralt nevertheless again to choose the bottom evil. He defended some men past killing others - even more, perhaps, than the monster he was supposed to protect them against.
