You see a small and frail woman sitting on a chair next to her campfire. She is so tiny that you mistake her for a child at first, but the wrinkles on her face speak of the ages. She is wearing purple robes covered in yellow stars, suggesting she is a practitioner of magick or alchemy. <pb>"Oh, a visitor! How wonderful. Please, warm yourself by the fire. It helps keep the bugs away. I am Madam Gilda, soothsayer and healer, alchemist and mystic. I am here to serve all weary travelers, and I welcome you to my sanctuary in the boglands. Perhaps you would like your fortune read, or maybe you need supplies?"

"Sure, please read my fortune to me."
Madam Gilda extends a small velvet sack containing a few gold coins. "Fortune readings are 10 gold," she says as she rattles the coins in the sack.

"I would like you to teach me your skills."
"How wonderful. I have always thought that teaching others what you have learned is the only true path to personal immortality. Someday I hope you too can pass this knowledge on to others. I am regretful that I must charge you for these lessons, but I can't survive solely on the goodwill of others." <pb>"Do you want to know more about Alchemy, Medicine or Meditation?"

Place 10 gold in the velvet sack.
You drop the coins in the sack. Madam Gilda takes you by the hand and closes her eyes... <pb>"Let me look...yes...I am seeing...oh, you've lost something." She pauses and wrinkles her nose. "No, that's not right. Ah, you are LOOKING for something! Yes, that's it. I see a piece to a puzzle, I see fire in your pocket, I see eyes that are set upon you."

Let her continue.
"You are playing a game against a powerful opponent, aren't you? Both are looking for the missing pieces to a great puzzle." Madam Gilda stops, and a look of sadness falls upon her face. "But I see pain for you. I see death...so much death. I see the sky ripped open, torn asunder, and fire falls like rain. The odds are against you." <pb>"You are being used."

Let her continue.
"The puzzle pieces are closer than you think. You've been sent here to gather them, and they are right under your nose. So close, yet so much stands in your way. Both of you have a piece now, and two more are within your reach. If you find them you will have the upper hand in this game, but beware. You are being watched and a timer is ticking. Tick, tick, ticking away..."

"Can you tell me where to look?"
The sound of your voice breaks her concentration. She snaps to attention, yet looks drained. "That is all I can tell you, child. That was all I could see." <pb>Madam Gilda looks deep into your eyes. "Clearly, you are on a quest of unprecedented importance, but I sense that there is more to this quest than you know." She pauses and takes a slow breath. "Right and wrong, good and evil, simply depend on which side of the game board you are on."

"Don't you find it dangerous to be living here in the swamps by yourself?"
"Oh, it's not so bad. I keep a fire burning nearly all the time which keeps the bugs away. My biggest concern is not the insects really, but those troublemakers who have moved in to the old Seawarden's Guild. They just showed up about a week ago and they are nothing but a bunch of hoodlums and ruffians." <pb>"Just to tell you how disrespectful they are, I had a beautiful kitten named Miss Bimbles that hunted the mice around my cabin. A few days ago one of those hooligans came around asking for some herbs, and when he left he took my kitten with him. I fear the worst for my little Miss Bimbles."

"I have found your kitten." [Give Miss Bimbles to Madam Gilda]
Madam Gilda's eyes light up upon seeing her kitten. "Oh thank you so very much! I never thought I'd see Miss Bimbles alive ever again!" <pb>"I would like to offer you some additional knowledge since you so bravely helped return Miss Bimbles to me. In all my years as a Mystic, I have mastered the arts of Alchemy, Meditation and Medicine. I would gladly share this knowledge with you, though unfortunately I will still need to charge a minimal fee. I can't survive on the mice Miss Bimbles brings to me!" she says as she flashes you a wink.
