Geralt encounters O'Dimm again at a tavern where he is stopped by a drunk patron inviting him to drink, causing O'Dimm to lose patience and stop time itself so he could have a chat to the witcher. Through questioning O'Dimm tells Geralt that he is neither demon nor djinn and that it is not his fault that the negative intentions of his clients cause them to suffer, explaining to Geralt that he gives people exactly what they wished for. When questioned about who he is O'Dimm becomes deadly serious and tells Geralt that those who know his name have either gone mad or have died and he is giving the witcher a small mercy by not telling him. He orders Geralt to bring Olgierd to a meeting at the ruins of an old temple to complete the deal, killing the interrupting drunkard with a spoon on his way out, just before restoring the flow of time.
