Other characters introduced in this story, such as King Foltest and Velerad, also appear in the game. The game also hints that although cured, there are rumours of Foltest's daughter Adda still having a striga's bloodthirsty heart. The intro sequence in The Witcher game is based on Geralt's fight with the striga in Vizima. The short story has been adapted as part of episode 8 of The Hexer TV series, titled " Rozdroże" ("Crossroads").

The short story has been adapted as a graphic novel entitled " Geralt comic", written by Andrzej Sapkowski and Maciej Parowski, with art by Bogusław Polch. He assures Geralt that his silver sword, his three thousand oren reward and his possessions are safe. The witcher wakes up, his neck bandaged, with Velerad (who was part of the group that had planned to just have the striga killed) admitting he was in the wrong. Finally, he binds his neck, knowing he will faint. As he subdues the girl/striga, Geralt hears the third crowing of the rooster. Using the last remnants of her talons, the striga slashes Geralt's throat. Leaning over her, he sees too late that her eyes are open. In the morning, he sees an ordinary little girl who is lying on the floor. Geralt settles in for the night in the double coffin to wait for morning (not allowing the striga to sleep in her original coffin until the third crow of the rooster which would break the curse). She is eventually scared off when Geralt uses his sorcery to project the hate and malice in her own mind back at her.

He ties the striga with a silver chain, which she breaks free of, despite silver being an antithesis to monsters of magic. Geralt fights with the striga, reluctant to use his silver sword. He is soon found and killed by the striga. At midnight, he cuts Ostrit loose, using him as bait. Geralt refuses, knocks Lord Ostrit out and ties him up. This would eventually horrify the inhabitants of Vizima, who would more easily support Vizimir of Novigrad's rule. During the early night, Lord Ostrit, a magnate, tries to bribe Geralt into running away, as he wishes the striga to survive. Geralt spends the night at the old palace (Foltest having moved to a new palace, unplagued by the striga's attacks). He gives Geralt leave to kill his daughter if he found that she was an incurable case. The soldier that brings him to Geralt is Foltest, disguised. Geralt asks to see a miller (a survivor of one of the striga's earlier attacks). Geralt meets with Foltest, who warns him not to harm the striga, for a wizard had told him that if someone prevented the striga from returning to her coffin by the third crowing of the rooster, then she would be cured, turning into an ordinary little girl. Seven years later, the daughter awoke and slaughtered the inhabitants of the palace. She and the baby died giving birth, both being buried in a double coffin. Near the beginning of King Foltest's reign, he got his sister, Adda, pregnant. At this point, Velerad tells Geralt of the striga and her origin. When asked to explain himself, Geralt refers to the bounty notices posted at the crossroads near Vizima, asking for an experienced monster hunter. Shortly afterwards, he kills three racist men in a bar fight, and is arrested by the City Guard and escorted to Velerad, the elderly castellan of Vizima. The story begins with Geralt entering Vizima.
