Result
When a witcher investigates, he expects to uncover the unexpected. He will learn, for example, that it was not a monster but the owner's brother who waylaid a missing caravan, or that the werewolf thought responsible for a streak of bloody murders would in truth never harm a fly. Yet no investigation in witcher history had brought as many surprises as the search for Ciri. At one point Geralt discovered the key to finding her was a repulsive, brainless creature he called Uma. The witcher could sense this ugly being was no child of Mother Nature - even she could never be so cruel - but the result of sorcery. In other words, its deformed flesh was but a sort of magical cage in which someone else was trapped. The question was - who? Geralt decided to take Uma to Kaer Morhen, so that he and his fellow witchers could confer about how to lift its curse.
