The leshy tried to escape through the door, but Geralt rushed to trace Yrden on the doorway, only to be pushed aside. Geralt explained Eskel's infection to Vesemir as he cut him loose. The leshy got a hold of Geralt, until Vesemir arrived and threw an axe to his chest, after which he backed away to the ceiling. Eskel then explained how he tried to fight the transformation but couldn't, and asked for Geralt's help. Geralt started to fight the leshy, but stopped when he realized it was Eskel. Having caused the whole keep to shake from his transformed state, all the witchers went on high alert and Geralt arrived at the laboratory to be attacked by Eskel in leshy form.

Unknown to Eskel, one of the injuries he'd substained was infecting him and gradually turned him into a leshy, and came out in full force, subsequently killing an accompanying prostitute. As he confronted them, Eskel tried to attack Geralt and was immediately subdued and sent away. He continued to party with other witchers, which Geralt condemned. Later that day, Eskel brought a few prostitutes up to Kaer Morhen, violating its secrecy and status, again contrary to his nature. Eskel continued to behave hostile and bullish towards Ciri as well as Geralt, contrary to his joyous nature. Vesemir then reminded him how a leshy is only killed by fire through the heart. Then, he went on to tell his tale with the leshy, but displayed suspicion about its nature. When Eskel arrived at Kaer Morhen he greeted Geralt and the other witchers. While he couldn't kill it, having lost all his elixirs, he did manage to cripple it and leave with its hand, though not without his own injuries from the monster. The fight lasted for six hours before Eskel finally got the better of the wooden beast. In the winter of 1264, as Eskel made his way back to Kaer Morhen, he got into a fight with an odd leshy somewhere in Kaedwen. Watching its antics, the two had fits of laughter until Vesemir had caught and punished them with a leather strap. At one point during their training, Eskel and Geralt had captured a huge bumblebee and tied it to a jug. Over the years, Eskel and Geralt developed a strong friendship and considered each other brothers. Vesemir, the sole witcher to survive the massacre, soon found the tired out children and took them under his wing to care and train. However, thanks to Illyana Zerbst and Geralt's snooping, the children managed to escape outside and away from the keep.
