After some time Geralt returned to Crow's perch and see the stables on fire and soldiers with Seren throwing water to put out the fire.

Seren: Move it! Put out the fire!

Then she notices Geralt and runs to him.

Seren: We need your help! Baron got drunk again and started a fire in the stables!

Then a soldier runs to them.

Soldier: Oswin! Where's Oswin?! Anyone seen him?

Then Seren realized.

Seren: Oh no... I saw him going into the stable just before Baron went crazy!

Soldier: WHAT?!

Geralt: What is exactly going on here? Why only Seren and a few men are doing something?

Seren: As I said Baron is drunk again and others are afraid.

Soldier: My brother's in the stable! We've got to save him - he'll burn alive! Him and the horses!

Seren: Geralt you can go save Oswin. I'll punch some sense into Baron's thick skull.

Geralt: You sure?

Seren: This won't be the first time. But go! Every second is crucial!

Geralt: I'll what I can do. And please don't beat him too hard, I need to speak with him.

Seren: On it.

Then Geralt started running into the stable. While Seren approached Baron.

Baron: Look who we got here. Stay out of my way!

Seren: After you're sober, prick.

Baron: That's it!

Baron stretched out his punch but Seren gave him a quicker punch right in his nose.

Baron: Bloody hell!

And wanted to go for an uppercut but she kicked him into a shin and Baron tumbled down. Then she grabbed him dragged him to a bucket full of water and stuck his head in. After a few seconds, she pulled it out letting Baront let out a big gasp and forcing him to drown again. But then she pulled him out seeing that Baron was finally at his senses so she let him go.

Seren: Had enough?

Baron just spits out one of his teeth and nods. And then Geralt approached them after he let the horses free and helped Oswin.

Geralt: We need to talk.

Meanwhile, at the swamp, Garito sed down from his horse and came to a creepy statue, and around its neck was neckless out of gingerbread. When he picked one up it was rotten and full of maggots.

Garito: Disgusting, but this should be the trail.

Then he started following the trail but had a feeling that something was watching him from every angle so he kept his guard up. And after a little while he ended up in front of two houses and a chapel in the middle of the swamp. And when he entered he heard children.

Child 1: Dog went into kitchen, stole a hunk of meat.

Child 2: Cook gave him a lickin', stung him by his feet.

Child 3: Cook then bled him empty, stripped his skin off clean.

Child 4: Laughed and said, "How tasty, best sausage I have seen!"
