The Tainted Child

Is Hansa Gruber still here? Well no, why did you want to talk to her? You said you wanted to know about the Tainted Child, not that you wanted to talk to her. Besides she acted as if she had a flock of furies behind her and rode with haste to Ostland. She wasn’t going to wait for you to finish whetting your weapon on Chaos bones. Fret not, she told me what she learned of the Tainted Child, or rather what she didn’t learn. She does not know where the child is, but some old hag did tell her that the priest of Ursun who banished the mutant babe into the wild left to High Pass to atone for his sins. Sentimental fool. Banishing a mutant is nothing to grieve over, even if it is a child. Unless it’s your own. Again, why I don’t have children. At any rate, Hansa said she is rallying local Templars from Ostland to travel as a group into the lands of High Pass and Praag. Safety in numbers. You’re in luck, High Pass is due east from here. Why chase Gruber when you can wait for her at High Pass?

Friedrich Haelund has told you that the templar Hansa Gruber has gone to Ostland to gather other witch hunters and return north to High Pass in pursuit of the Tainted Child. He must be a powerful foe that she needs assistance. Travel to High Pass and speak with Teodor Hennschel when you arrive to see if he has any more information.
