You hear the sound of small, wooden wheels rolling across damp cobbles. You trace the lonely sound to a hunched figure bundled in rags, pushing a rickety wooden cart through the fog.
Mituna calls out to the figure. “Hey! You! Excuse me! Can I talk to you for a second? Where are we? Can you point me in the direction of Kolyan Indirovich? I received a summons from him, I need to find him!”
Mituna calls out to the figure. “Hey! You! Excuse me! Can I talk to you for a second? Where are we? Can you point me in the direction of Kolyan Indirovich? I received a summons from him, I need to find him!”
As you call out to the figure, she turns towards you. A look of shock and fear comes across her face as she starts to speed up and walk away from you.
“Hey! Please! I just want to talk!” Mituna dashes after the woman, hoping to catch up to her. “Please, I mean you no harm. I just wish to ask a few questions is all. We’re terribly lost.”
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Mituna smiles at the older figure. “My friend speaks the truth. We got lost in the fogs and need directions, and maybe a little information, that’s all. Where are we?” As she says this, she subtly looks over the cart, attempting to figure out what the old woman is carrying.
The figure seems to calm down. She rights herself and says, "I see, well then welcome to Barovia." Her voice as aged as she is. As you look at her cart, you smell the scent of freshly baked pastry and meats coming from it. Which is odd because it is in the middle of the night. You also hear slight movement coming from the general area from where she is standing, though you don't know if its from her or from your companions moving around behind you.
"So, the question of how to get to Barovia has been answered, even if we still have no idea where we are", Arbrist smiles, then approaches the old lady. "We are thankful for welcoming us here. can you tell us where wary travelers should turn to, in order to get some well-deserved rest?"
"You may buy them or not, either way is fine with me my child. As for the noise well, these old buildings do sometimes creek as do these old bones sometimes." She chuckles to herself a bit. "So do we have a deal?"
Mituna, about to agree to buying a pastry, suddenly pulls her hand back. “You know, we don’t know how long we may be here, so perhaps we shouldn’t be spending gold on trivial snacks. Do you have any potions or other items in the cart? Could I look at your products?” Mituna begins moving towards and bending down to inspect the cart.

Perzival calls after her.

(Mituna manages to catch up to the old woman and her cart. She looks extremely frightened by Mituna.) "Please, don't harm me. I don't have much."
Perzival comes over. "We aren't here to rob you."
Mituna smiles at the older figure. “My friend speaks the truth. We got lost in the fogs and need directions, and maybe a little information, that’s all. Where are we?” As she says this, she subtly looks over the cart, attempting to figure out what the old woman is carrying.

She looks at Arbrist, smiles, and says, "Only if you buy one of my dream pastries."
"Of course we will. How much would five of them cost?"
OOC: I want to emphasize that Arbrist does not, in any way, shape or form, intend to eat these pastries.
"Very well my child, they are 1 gold a piece. 5 gold total." She smiles and extends her hand out patiently.
"That is a fine price. Guys, any of you want to chip in? Or should I be the only one to purchase these lovely pastries?"
"Not so fast. Why would I trust you? And what is that movement I can hear?" Perzival says to the old lady

The shuffling noise is coming from inside the cart. Also this woman is not to be trusted. She is not whom she appears to be.
