"She express...ed concern...that you were...not going...to uphold...your promise...in helping...get her out...of her un...wanted marr...iage," Ingot ponderously replies. "When she re...alized that...she was out...of time, she...said she had...no choice but...to take matt...ers into...her own hands."

"Into her own hands? How?" Lillian wonders. "What's in the Sunwoods that would help her break the engagement?"

"I am un...certain," Ingot admits.
"The witch?" Henna wonders.
"Witch?" Edgar prompts.
Henna shrugs. "Just rumors, hearsay and such. But they say there's a witch that lives in the Sunwoods and supposedly she has the power to change her shape and change the shapes of others. That people who try to hassle her get turned into livestock, like pigs and cows, to be feasted upon later. You know, that sort of thing."
Edgar nods, following. "And if she could turn a person into a pig..."
"She could turn an elf into a human," Henna agrees. "Well, maybe. I don't know anything about magic and how it works."

"The problem is that we don't really know where this witch could be, and neither does Liala," Ladonna says.

"Then I guess we'll need to track her down before she finds the witch, or before the witch finds her," Henna concludes.

"Who here has any experience in tracking?" Ladonna asks.

"I'm not much of an outdoorsy person," Edgar admits.
Ingot and Henna both just shake their heads.

"Oh, wonderful," Lillian says. "Perhaps I could try to do some investigating--find a lead where this witch could be hiding."

"Well, if we can just pick up on her trail, we should be okay," Ladonna says. "So if you think you can find it, then go ahead," she says to Lillian.

The party tries to get comfortable as they wait for Lillian to go into town and return. After an hour or so, she does return, but with nothing concrete. Even after spending nine gold, all she could dig up were rumors and gossip, but at best all she could get was that the witch supposedly lived deep in the Sunwoods. Nothng more specific than that.

“Well, I suppose it’s back to picking up Liala’s trail,” Lillian sighs, frustrated that she wasn’t of any help. “Where did she leave from, I wonder?”

"Liala...has been to...the Sunwoods...once before," Ingot points out. "When we first...went there to...deal with the...poachers with...Sidhanar. If it were...me return...ing to the...forest, I...would likely...retrace my steps...if for no...other rea...son than it...was as good...a place to...start searching...as any."
"So return to where you entered the forest last time?" Henna asks.
The genasi nods.

"That's an excellent idea, Ingot. Thank you for mentioning it," Lillian says. "Then we should start our journey with haste. I've already wasted enough of our time."

"Alright, Ingot, would you lead the way?" Ladonna says.

Ingot nods, and ponderously begins to lead the way.
