Contract: Here Comes the Groom

Journal Entry
To anyone who might know anything!

''Nils from our village – he's disappeared! It's been many a day now and he's still nowheres to be seen. So if you know what's become of him, don't keep it to yourself, come see me and let me know, even if the truth's grim and dark, for my sister, Britt, who was his betrothed, she's going out of her mind with worry, crying seas of tears and such. I swear to Hemdall, whoever brings me news will get an honorable reward.''

–Kevan

The Contract: Nils Disappearance
Travel to the Isles of Skellige, then the village Svorlag on island of Spikeroog. Pick the notice board quest by the shoreline and talk to Kevan in his house near the water. Kevan and others in the village do not believe her wild story of a beast taking him and claim that he got cold feet and is avoiding their wedding. You can haggle for a better reward and then speak to his sister Britt. Britt is at "their spot" North of the bay pining for Nils, her betrothed, and is traumatized at seeing him ripped from her side by a “shadow of great wings”and flown into the sky whilst he was screaming her name. She tells you the direction that the beast flew with Nils.

Head down the road South of the village and find a Bandit Camp at the Old Watchtower fast travel point.

Beyond that is the shoreline and at the very end of the road are several sirens and a cave entrance.

When you enter, with Geralt's Witcher senses find a trail to follow, slaughter a bunch of Drowners, then explore the chamber filled with water. In here you’ll see a large altar built as a homage to the god Melusine.

Activate Geralt’s Witcher senses to discover there are scales on this altar.

Follow the cave wall around the left side and see a small opening. Enter it and climb ledges to locate a corpse and loot: Jump across the crevice and down a few ledges and return to the start of the cave to return to the Melusine idol and make your way behind it.
 * Letter fo Ingeborga Kalebsdotter
 * Diagram: Ursine crossbow which updates the Scavenger Hunt: Bear School Gear quest.

Activate Geralt’s Witcher senses again to discover: Follow the tracks again to the large area with explosive barrels and kill a few more drowners.
 * Large Siren tracks.
 * These scales are a different color compared to ones from other Sirens.

Follow the tracks again and climb the ledge to the outside cliff face where you will find several skeletons to loot and the body of Nils, deceased after being dropped from a great height.

MELUSINE appears. Defeat her using Aard signs and Hybrid oil, and perhaps Grapeshot bombs.

After Melusine is defeated, loot the corpse and return to Svorlag (beware of a level 21 Cyclops who may spawn on your path back!). Return to Kevan to tell him his sister was telling the truth. He will ask Geralt to inform Britt of Nils death.

Rewards:

 * 1) From Melusine: Ekhidna Trophy, Ekhidna Mutagen, Water Essence, Lock of Lamia Hair, Monster Blood, Seashell, Assassin's trousers.
 * 2) From Kevan (without haggling): 250 Experience Points, 186 crowns.
 * 3) If you decide to help Kevan and tell Britt yourself:
 * 4) * You can accept her added offer of 25 coin and receive 20 Experience points, OR
 * 5) * You can refuse her added offer of coin and receive 25 Experience points and she will ask Geralt why he is offending her, but Geralt explains that "There're things even a witcher shouldn't take coin for."
