After listening the little girl cry, I set out to kill the bastard right on the spot. And THEN I listened to his story and couldn't. Sure he killed innocents, but what in the witcher universe does not?? They could've been wiped out by everything. Bandits, monsters, wild hunt, the war....likely the fricking leshen Gaetan freed them from! This is a dark world and fairnes plays no role, but consequences do. The elder had ONE job: find the best solution for the village and Gaetan warned them not to quit the deal after his part is done! This was actually quite nice of him, I guess the rest of the witcher world wouldn't have bothered and witchers do have a reputation of beeing quite dangerous and hard to kill. I mean, come on! People there get a hand chopped off for stealing a loaf of bread and they sort of stole him at least a hundred bucks. But thats not even enough!! He risked his life to do the job and all he got was a pitchfork in the back! So if you ask me: they were well off, could've paid him easily and would've had one (and a half) problem less, but no. The elder was responsible and failed miserably by doing the worst thing possible and the consequence was, what Gaetan vaguely promised them. They could've poked the leshen in the eye - same result.

Another thing....I could hear his frustration and bitterness when he asked me, why on earth he should protect these people. He said he can take the daily comments, abuse and whatever, but the complete disrespect...the audacity of feeling no necessity to pay him for his services! It is no easy deal lorewise to kill monsters - we saw a dozen times what happens, when villagers try to solve the problem themselves! And still, witchers get their payment refused ALL THE TIME. Geralt mentions it a lot, and he is one of the most respected and well known witchers out there. Gaeran has a FULL trophy wall with unpaid jobs and lets appreciate, that he still tries to stick with the honest work - other cat schoolers rather go criminal at some point. He snapped before - sure but I doubt he killed a fricking village every single time or that would`ve spread word quickly. He probably just killed his cheating contractors. Sth Geralt also does on a regular basis, so it would be hypocritical to accuse him of that. I don`t like, that Gaetan killed innocents and Geralt most likely did neither. But I could understand him better than I wanted to and that made me let it go.
