Count Reuven's Treasure is a main quest in Novigrad. Geralt comes to a bathhouse to ask about the missing Dandelion. The owner, Sigi Reuven, is really Sigismund Dijkstra, the former head of Redanian intelligence. Dijkstra hires Geralt to find the thieves who stole his gold, unaware that Dandelion planned the theft.

Choices
The bathhouse clues show that the thieves did not come in from the sewers. They dropped a bomb down the drainpipe of one of the tubs. The bathhouse guest book names the man who used that tub: Margrave Henckel, who died months before the break-in. In Henckel's house, Geralt learns that Dudu, a doppler Geralt knew from the past, took the margrave's shape. A letter from Dudu says that Ciri took part in the theft. It also says that Caleb Menge, commander of the Temple Guard, holds the gold and Dandelion.
Triss offers herself as bait to get Geralt in front of Menge. At the witch hunters' outpost, every answer counts. A calm Geralt says he has not been paid, that witchers will do anything for gold, and that he wants Dandelion freed. Menge then reveals that the bard sits in the Temple Isle dungeons, waiting to be taken to Oxenfurt for execution. Triss kills Menge soon after. A rude answer starts a fight with every witch hunter in the outpost instead. Menge dies before he says anything useful. His papers lead to a spy who gives the Temple Guard its orders, and Triss forces the spy to talk.
Asking Menge about Dijkstra's treasure pays off later, in Brothers In Arms: Novigrad. Either way, Dijkstra gets only a key from Menge's body instead of his gold. He also works out that Geralt knew who planned the theft. The two part on good terms, but the next meeting may not be so friendly.
