| abstract | - Ciri's Story: The Race is a in Act I and second Ciri side-mission in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. It takes place while Ciri is staying as a guest of Philip Strenger, the Bloody Baron. It occurs as part of a retelling by Philip to Geralt of Ciri's whereabouts. {{[[Template:|]]<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>}}>"The baron treated Ciri like a daughter - no, better - for slaughtering a boar is sadly a delight few fathers think to share with their daughters. His men took an immediate liking to her as well, mainly due to her hunting prowess and passion for horses. One evening as they were celebrating a successful hunt around a bonfire, Ciri proposed a wager: if she beat the baron in a horse race, he would give her a mount of her choosing. The baron accepted the challenge.The race was meant as a harmless diversion, but soon took a different turn. Ciri and the baron, riding neck and neck, had just caught sight of the tower serving as the finish line when suddenly a basilisk landed at its base and turned its terrifying gaze upon them." —Dandelion
