Ignatia, you walk ahead of the party a little bit, and then can't help but notice the towering figure Fil is right on your coat tales as you both reach the figure.
You both see an old woman. She is startled when you speak to her.
"Ohhhh! Heavens to Murgatroyd! You startled me my dear.... help you say? Ohhh no no, I don't need any help... unless you and your friends want to buy one of my pastries? They are the most delicious pastries in the land! Come on now deary.... you and your friends here look quite disheveled. I think one of my little treats is exactly what you need. Will fix you right up. Only 1 gold coin each. What do you say, deary?? How about you, big guy?"
I assume the rest of the party is also approaching her now... they will reach her in a few moments unless you wanted to do something else while Ignatia and Fil approached her first.
"Middle of the night?! Oh deary... you mustn't be from around here... 'tis not even noon hour yet! Ay, a shithole it may be... but the folk here just seem to LOVE my pastries. And they pay me well too... ha ha ha ha ha!! Here you are my dear!"
The cooky-looking woman passes Ignatia one pastry/pie, and takes your gold, then looks at Fil: "How 'bout you big fella... would you like to experience... er, I mean taste my pies???"
(it's close to noon hour. It just looks dark and dreary all of the time in these lands)
To Fil:"Ya sure big fella? Ya look like you could use one!
Renny and Shae also approach the woman. "Ohhhhh well hello there my pretties! So nice to see you out here on this beautiful day. I reckon y'all are travelling together yes? I tell ya what... if y'all buy one of my pies, I'll be sure to give you a great deal! What kind you say? Oh I call them my 'Dream Pastries". I promise you, once you taste them, you won't regret it! Heee hee heee heee!"
*cackle cackle*
She then hands Ignatia her pie/pastry. "Yer welcome deary. You save that pie for when you need to.... relax... and it'll do you right up real good! News of the town you ask? Well deary... in a place like this there isn't much news... the folk around here tend to stay inside... to themselves... you know... to hide from Count Dracula up there." she points to the dark castle in the backdrop of the town.
"Now, howza about we make that deal and I'll be going on my merry way to find some children."
It seems the woman didn't realize what she just said there. Shae, you keenly pick up on this, and from the short moments you've been around this woman, you immediately realize that while she is legitimately trying to sell you her goods, she likely isn't what she seems. And apparently she's looking for children.
The woman, to Fil: "Looking for children wha? You see a little morsel somewhere? Giant-man, tell me you seen a child somewhere?!"
Fil, as you look towards the castle, its now very apparent that this castle is quite vast and essentially steals the backdrop of the entire town. It's a dark, yet magnificent building. You can't be certain of how many, but the structure is several stories high. You notice a few windows glow with light through the dreary fog.
Renny shakes her head a bit as she looks at the pies, "No.. thank you." she keeps her distance from the lady, mostly just having some of the bigger types between her and the weird lady.

"No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow" "No power in the 'verse can stop me"
Shae, the old lady looks at you, tilts her head sideways slightly, and then suddenly her form begins to flicker. Almost as if the woman was some type of illusion. Still three-dimensional, but an illusion. The image then flickers faster, and then begins to almost 'melt' into itself... and then before your eyes, a freakish wretched horrendous witch-like woman stands before you all, skulls hanging from her belt and evil seeping from her eyes.
"Well, just their bones deary... JUST THEIR BONES!!! heeeeeeee heee hehehehehehehe"*insert a scary witch laugh*
She is not initiating any type of combat or attacking any of you in any manner whatsoever.
"Now.... how many more pies would you pretties like before I get going back home to the ole' Bonegrinder????!!! I'm telling you... they are to die for."
She then holds up a sack (which also magically appeared when she changed forms) which appears to have some small humanoid limbs and appendages sticking out of it.
Shae, Vylrila, Fil and anyone else that makes sense with their character's background can make a History check to see if they know about this 'ole Bonegrinder' that the hag has mentioned.
Fil walks behind Ignatia. "There's only one of them and more of us."
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
" Yeah....there was only one Trash heap too..."

" Your selling pastries? In the middle of the night? In this shithole?", Ignatia said dubiously.
" Sure, I'll take one. Will do me lter for breakfast.", she said with a sigh.
"Middle of the night?! Oh deary... you mustn't be from around here... 'tis not even noon hour yet! Ay, a shithole it may be... but the folk here just seem to LOVE my pastries. And they pay me well too... ha ha ha ha ha!! Here you are my dear!"

Fil shakes his head. "I was told never to accept pie from strangers. I think I'll pass."
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.
Renny watches as she approaches with the others, talking quietly, "This can't be good..."
"No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow"
"No power in the 'verse can stop me"
" Thankyou. Ah, would you have any news of the town?"
Insight: 19
”Pastries? What sort? I only have trail rations and good sweet meal sounds amazing right now...”
To Fil: "Ya sure big fella? Ya look like you could use one!

"Excuse me, ma'am, did you say something about 'looking for children?' Fil asks before looking toward the castle.
I have an intelligence of six, I know what I'm doing.

Fil turns back to the woman and coldly responds. "No, I haven't."

Fil, you get the same feeling that Shae did in that while this old lady is legitimately trying to sell you her goods, she likely isn't what she seems.
And she's looking for children. And she called them 'morsels'.
With that knowledge, and that roll, Fil can likely put two and two together.
Renny shakes her head a bit as she looks at the pies, "No.. thank you." she keeps her distance from the lady, mostly just having some of the bigger types between her and the weird lady.
"No boom today. Boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow"
"No power in the 'verse can stop me"
Shae recoils from the lady.
“Are... are those pies made out of... CHILDREN?!”
Shae, the old lady looks at you, tilts her head sideways slightly, and then suddenly her form begins to flicker. Almost as if the woman was some type of illusion. Still three-dimensional, but an illusion.

Shae, Vylrila, Fil and anyone else that makes sense with their character's background can make a History check to see if they know about this 'ole Bonegrinder' that the hag has mentioned.
You know what... if it makes sense, please also feel free to roll an Arcana check to determine your PC's knowledge about these pies made by hags.
