Walkthrough[]
Head to the alley just north of the dye pits in Farcorners to find three elves surrounding a human merchant. Note: if you wait too long to talk to the group, the elves will make good on their word and kill the merchant, and you won't be able to attack them.
If you talk to them they'll tell you the merchant sold poisoned fisstech to their young ones, causing them to suffer a painful death, and now they've come for revenge. However the merchant will claim they're just trying to rob him.
You can ask about searching the merchant to check if he has fisstech, but the elves will state they couldn't find anything because he's already sold it all. The merchant will deny the accusations and plead for Geralt to help him. Unfortunately that's the extent of the investigation: you must now decide to help the merchant or let the elves kill him.
If you help the merchant, you'll have to fight and kill the three elves. Note: during this fight the merchant can die. If you want a small reward, make sure he lives. Once all the elves are dead and if the merchant survived, he'll thank you, giving you 50 
and 25 .
If you instead let the elves kill him, you won't gain anything from the outcome other than the elves thanking you for letting them carry out justice.
