Contract: Jenny o’ the Woods is a witcher contract near Midcopse in Velen. The village notice board offers a bounty for ridding the area of a monster the locals call Jenny o’ the Woods, and Geralt, always in need of coin, decides to look into it.
The legend turns out to have a tragic truth behind it. Jenny is a nightwraith, born from a woman who was murdered by a lover she had rejected. Her story is the stuff of sad ballads, the kind Dandelion would write, but Geralt’s job is to find a way to lure her out and destroy her.
Like all wraiths of her kind, Jenny is tied to an object from her past, and Geralt has to find it to force her to appear. She only shows up at night, surrounded by a circle of moonlight that heals her, so the Yrden sign and Specter oil are essential. When she is gone, the woods around Midcopse are a little safer, and a little lonelier.
