Forest Granny
Dialogue
Greetings, traveler.
Oh, a visitor. Or are you just lost and hoping I don't turn you into a toad?
Hello, stranger.
Haven't seen your type around in a while.
What do you wish to learn? A potion recipe or where I buried the last fool who annoyed me?
I sense uncertainty in your mind.
Very well, the forest's mysteries aren't for everyone.
My name's Hilda Deeproot, a humble dweller of these woods. Or the local witch, depending on who's gossiping.
It's your choice, traveller. The forest can be a treacherous place.
Heed my warning, the forest is a twisted maze, with creatures lurking in the shadows. Prepare for uninvited encounters.
Fetch me Neon Mushrooms. They are a rare breed, infused with "bad mana".
I'm aware of the "accidents" you speak of, yet the knowledge isn't freely given.
I appreciate your offer, but I'm currently at peace.
Thank you, but I need nothing at the moment.
The forest provides. I need nothing more.
Yes, I need your assistance.
There's something you can help me with. And no, it's not a spell to get laid quicker.
Indeed, I have a task only you can accomplish.
It's teeming with life, some seen and some hidden, but all part of the grand cycle.
From the towering trees to the whispering winds, every bit of it is alive.
This is Westwind Woods, my home.
Living in harmony with the forest is all the comfort I need.
The forest takes care of me, and I take care of it.
I understand. It's not an easy task.
My favourite companions? The trees, the breeze, and the quiet.
Been living here immersed in nature since my younger days. Trees make for quieter neighbours than idiots.
I'm well, thank you for asking. Unless that Alexander Stones said something else about me.
Elan's government keeps taking them to study! These mushrooms are crucial for my brewing.
