Summary
While exploring the Velen countryside near Lindenvale, or taking on the "The Fall of the House of Reardon" contract , Geralt stumbles across a farmstead which is littered with booby traps. After hearing a sound coming from the Barn, Geralt decides to investigate - only to find Letho.

Letho explains the situation - that after the events that transpired at Loc Muinne, he has been on the run and in hiding ever since.

Suddenly, men approach the farmstead - clearly no ordinary lost peasants. Letho explains that only one man, a supposed friend, knew where he was, Louis.

After taking car of the mercenaries with Geralt's help, the pair ride to a small camp where Louis is located. After a short dialogue, Louis and his men are given a traitors punishment - death, but only after discovering where his paymasters where located.

Geralt and Letho ride back to Lindenvale to see whether Louis spoke the truth. Located in a barn, several men awaited, Letho makes a ruckus outside to draw their attention and bring them out, instructing Geralt not to interfere. Letho is shot with a crossbow bolt and, after butchering 6 men, falls.

Geralt diffuses the situation by insisting he doesn't want trouble. The men want to claim the bounty placed on Letho and subsequently decide to take his head - an idea Geralt isn't fond of. After some careful persuasion, Geralt manages to convince them to take his medallion instead, as proof.

Geralt investigates the supposed corpse of Letho, only to discover that a unique poison had been applied, making him appear dead. This was part of a plan to stop bounty-hunters from chasing him to the ends of the earth once and for all.

Geralt decides to invite Letho to stay at Kaer Morhen, and after some initial doubts, decides that he'll stop by after taking care of some business.
