You think to the spells you learnt of in college–basic illusions, transmogrification, mutation, mimic slime clothes.. “And is magic necessary? You could use some heels, or stilts, maybe.”
“I have a parcel set to arrive on the first of every month–ingredients necessary to create a human transpeciation potion potent enough to retain that form for another month. It’s expensive, but a necessity for this line of work.” The witch ignores your questions as she paces her room. “But the caravan hasn’t come. I’d guess they were taken by highwaymen or some stray beast, but guesses will do me no good.”
“Ah! So you need me to go out and find the caravan, then?” You posit, but your lady shakes her head.
“No. It would be a waste of time. The ingredients are valuable to thieves and delicious to monsters. And a letter of grievance won’t get me another parcel. But I need to get that body back.” She gnarls. “So I’ll just get the ingredients myself. If you want to help, then go find VAN DEN BOS. He should be at the hearth. Help him toss some eggs into the fire. Put all these chickens to good use.”
