Description

Precious Cargo:
Approach the merchant and inquire about his troubles to learn that his cart and goods have become stuck in a monster infested area of the bog. He requests that Geralt help him retrieve his lost merchandise, specifically a small box that was on the cart. The first step is to find where the cart left the road just a few steps away from the merchant himself. Use Witcher Senses to identify and then examine the cart tracks that lead off into the swamp, then follow them to the missing cart. Prepare to fight a few drowners before checking the cart.

Examine the cart to find that it is riddled with arrows, a big indicator that monsters didn't attack like the merchant said. Further examination of the horse's body (also with arrows) and a corpse nearby all indicate an attack that the merchant conveniently left out.

Nearby is the locked box, which is easy enough to find with Witcher Senses, and just happens to be covered in human blood.

Head back to the merchant, where you have two choices to make: give the box to him without mentioning his lie, or point out the lie. If you simply give him the box, he'll gladly pay Geralt for the help and then be on his way (earning 25 XP earned based on the Story and Swords! difficulty level and 20 Oren3).

If, however, you point out that he lied, he will poorly attempt to distract Geralt before escaping on horseback. You must ride after him and attempt to knock him off his horse with either sword, crossbow, or bombs. He's not incredibly hard to catch though as long as you keep up. Note: if you let the bandit get too far away, the quest will fail.

If you manage to knock him off his horse before he reaches the insurgent camp, you won't have to fight any other bandits. However, if you fail to knock him off in time and he reaches the camp, you'll have 3 additional bandits that must be dealt with first.

As long as he didn't escape, once you catch him he'll reveal himself as John Geermer, a private in a disbanded Temerian unit that has been part of a group conducting raids on Nilfgaardian supplies. You then have 3 choices here:

Let him go but you keep the box (10 XP earned based on the Story and Swords! difficulty level and 50 Oren3 and some alchemical ingredients)
Let him go and give him the box (10 XP earned based on the Story and Swords! difficulty level and 30 Oren3)
Turn him in (10 XP earned based on the Story and Swords! difficulty level and 30 Oren3)

After making your choice, the quest will complete.
