Frying Pan, Spick and Span - White Orchard
Along our travels to find Yennefer, we head north from the Inn, and on the river’s side we hear a woman. She seems a bit frantic as we approach her and she wishes to tell us a tale. All this to say she needs help getting her Frying Pan back. There are many quests like this in the Witcher that require us to interact with actual people out in the world to find, accept, and complete tasks. Some are small, some ask for a bit more.
Here we just need to break down the door to get access to the hut, but to do that we need to use our Witcher magic, so switch to using Aard. Once inside feel free to take anything that isn’t nailed down. You’ll soon upon a dead body, a broken Silver Monocle, a fireplace containing Burned Papers, and the Frying Pan. Geralt will explain what he makes of these clues.
The burned papers and the broken Silver Monocle give us some unspoken insight into the story that had unfolded in this hut. The words in the papers and the monocle we found on the floor remind us of an old friend.
Leaving the hut and approaching the old woman a second time, she will offer a token of thanks, 5 Baked Apple and 5 Apple Juice. The quest ends here just as soon as it had started. We can continue on.
