Hot Potato is a secondary quest in The Witcher that Haren Brogg hands out at the end of Act I, once Strangers in the Night is done, and that wraps up in Act II in Vizima’s Temple Quarter. Haren wants a small parcel delivered to a man called Coleman at the Hairy Bear inn, on the clear understanding that nobody asks what is inside.
The delivery never happens. Geralt’s arrival in Vizima comes with an arrest, and when he gets his belongings back the parcel is gone: the jailer Jethro has kept it as illegal goods, and that is the end of that. All that is left is the awkward chat with Coleman, who takes the loss surprisingly well, as long as Geralt plays along.
