A Poet Under Pressure

Main Quest: A Poet Under Pressure Foreseen at the Ravine Locations: The Butcher’s Yard Theater (Novigrad), Seven Cats Inn, Isolated Hut Characters: Zoltan Chivay, Priscilla, Halflings and Dwarf, Dandelion Enemies: Redanian Guards, Drowners, Witch Hunter Objectives: Meet Zoltan at the site of the ambush. Nearest Signpost: East of Seven Cats Inn. Travel eastward out of Novigrad, passing the Seven Cats Inn via the road by the river to reach the ambush point. As you approach the objective, head up the grassy embankment to the north, then around to a small campfire and some low brick ruins where Zoltan is waiting. He and some of his fellows have set the ambush for a convoy transporting Dandelion from his prison on Temple Isle (north Novigrad) to Oxenfurt.

If you helped Dijkstra with his treasure hunt during Main Quest: Count Reuven’s Treasure, you can meet him back in his bathhouse office, and he agrees to send a small band of his men to help you with the ambush.

Explain to the dwarf your intentions regarding raising suspicion or that an ambush is simpler (your choice). Then Priscilla arrives—an unwise move on her part due to the danger—bringing a note from Dudu. The convoy leaves at dawn, but she stays whether you ask her to leave or not. Zoltan challenges you to a game of Gwent while you wait. Agree or don’t. Then wait until you hear the sounds of horses approaching.
