Rose on a Red Field

Rose on a Red Field is a secondary quest in the .
== Walkthrough ==
The quest begins during the first main quest Evil's Soft First Touches, after Geralt is given his task from Olgierd he will be stopped by Adela while leaving, who will give him this quest.
Go to Bowdon, use your Witcher Senses and Geralt should soon remark on sensing the smell of chemicals, but the village is overrun by ghouls, so you'll have to exterminate them first. When safe, follow the scent to a house where Geralt will find evidence of Fisstech production, a warning letter and a trail of footprints. Following the trail you will eventually find Kluivert's body, and now you will need to find who shot him so look behind the fence to find other footprints and follow those. These footprints will lead to a set of horseshoe prints in the center of Bowdon. The horseshoeprints lead out of town, and around a marsh where drowned dead may pop up out, but you can just run past them if you don't want to fight.
Eventually you will reach a bandit camp full of Fallen Knights (which you may have visited before for From Ofier's Distant Shores). On the wagon nearby, you will find a letter. Read the letter to locate the hiding place.
Head to the hiding place and there will be two knights outside. Approach them and a cutscene will start allowing Geralt to talk or fight right away. If you decide to talk, you are given three choices:
* Fight them
* Pay them 1,000 (100)
* Cast Axii (requires Delusion level 2 for a minimum of 35) and make them count to 100 before they turn hostile
If you dealt with them peacefully you can still attack them and loot your coin back if you chose to bribe them. If you fight them at any point, they'll also drop the key for the nearby door, though it's useless if they already agreed to let you in.
However you dealt with them, head inside but prepare for combat. In the back of the cave, you will meet Ulrich who, even if you try to leave, will recognize Geralt as Jacques de Aldersberg's killer and order the knights to kill him.
 If you are having troubles fighting the knights you can use Golden Oriole and lead them into the field with poisonous fumes, which will poison them. You can also ignite them with Igni, however, that may also hurt Geralt, unless you use Quen to take the hit.
After everyone is dead, go to The Alchemy in Oxenfurt to collect your reward. You can choose to tell Adela what happened and who killed Kluivert, or just ask for your reward and it makes no difference. (150)
== Journal entry ==
: "The White Wolf", "the Butcher of Blaviken" – Geralt gathered many sobriquets on his Path, one of which was the colorful and, I dare say, apt, appellation of "Puss Peepers." This he gained during his adventure with Olgierd, when a cheeky young woman in Olgierd's company pinned him as the man best able to track down the scoundrel who killed her friend, Kluivert.
: Kluivert had indeed been killed. Though much time had passed since the murder, the witcher hoped he could still find enough evidence to establish who was responsible.
: It turned out Kluivert's death was not the work of common bandits or deserters, but knights of the recently dissolved Order of the Flaming Rose. Geralt realized the brethren who had killed Kluivert were but part of a much larger contingent. To prevent any further such murders and fully avenge Kluivert, he would have to find the knights' leader.
: The orders Geralt found on the knights he defeated not only shed light on their activities – they'd given up defending the defenseless and switched to brewing narcotics – but revealed the location of their hideout. Geralt decided to take a short break from monster hunting to pay their Grand Master a courtesy call.
: The witcher and the Grand Master did not take a liking to each other. After a short talk about the Order's past and mission, they moved on to armed combat. This fight could clearly have only one outcome – Ulrich met the same fate as his infamous predecessor, Jacques de Aldersberg.
: With this Geralt of Rivia, alias "Puss Peepers," avenged Kluivert and completed the task allotted him. He collected his promised reward and set off on his Path.

== Notes ==
