Shani goes down into the Oxenfurt sewers with a company of soldiers to collect venom from a monster called the Toad Prince, but the monster ended up slaying her entire escort. While futilely trying to resuscitate a fallen soldier, Shani is discovered by Geralt, who was on a contract to slay the Toad Prince from Olgierd von Everec. They cooperate to find the creature's lair, before Geralt sends her back to the surface.
