Contract: The Hanged Woman

The ealdorman of Vizima's outskirts called for a witcher to investigate a dire matter. The grain fields were being haunted by some foul creature, which shrieked and wailed at the setting of the sun each night. Two men had already been found dead, hanged by the neck in their own homes, and the entire village seemed to think there was a connection.

As truth would have it, the nightwraith haunting the village had been a young woman named Sona. Some days prior she had allegedly gone missing, but in truth she'd been chased out into the fields, raped, and then hung from an oak tree outside the fields and left to die. Demerin surmised that the two men that were killed had been two of her rapists, and that she would not rest until either defeated, or until she had killed them all. He opted for the former option, defeating the wraith but promising he would bring her assailants to justice.

Returning to the village for his reward, Demerin informed the ealdorman of the crime, and that all the man that had gone searching for her were in fact her attackers, likely trying to use that chance to hide the evidence of their crime before the wraith came to them in the night as well. The ealdorman gave the reward of coin, and promised to find the truth of Sona's death.
