Indecent Proposal

Indecent Proposal is a main quest in Chapter 1 of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. After the events at the gallows, Bernard Loredo, the commander of Flotsam, invites Geralt to his residence in the evening. Geralt goes together with Vernon Roche, hoping to learn something about the kingslayer.

Loredo is occupied and has the visitors sent away, so they wait downstairs. Geralt discovers that the commander is meeting a sorceress in secret and, with Roche distracting a guard, sneaks through the garden to listen in. The two are clearly working together while distrusting each other. A merchant at the party also mentions a chest behind the mansion holding a component of a kayran trap.

Whether Geralt returns to Roche unseen or gets caught by the guards, he ends up in front of Loredo, who asks him to capture Iorveth as payment for what happened at the scaffold. The quest ends when Geralt accepts or refuses and leaves the estate.

Quest Consequences & Choices

Loredo asks Geralt to capture Iorveth. If Geralt agrees, he leaves the mansion on friendly terms with the commander, who believes he has found a useful tool for his own dishonest plans. If Geralt refuses, citing the witcher code, Loredo becomes furious and Geralt leaves suspecting he has made an enemy, a suspicion that later proves correct.
