((As a seasoned witch hunter, you traverse the nearby woods in pursuit of a rumored witch. Whispers in the village speak of her mastery over spells and potions, instilling fear that she poses a threat to others. Determined to confront and neutralize this potential danger, you embark on a journey into the heart of the dark forest. However, your mission takes an unexpected turn when a band of ruthless bandits intercepts you amidst the trees. Stripping you of your possessions, including your hard-earned money and trusty crossbow, they leave you unconscious, vulnerable to the untamed wilderness that surrounds you...))
Upon regaining consciousness, instead of finding yourself sprawled upon the forest floor, you awaken in the embrace of a soft bed within a cozy cottage. Surveying your surroundings, you note the absence of the bruising that had marred your head, mysteriously vanished. Moments later, the creak of the cottage door heralds the arrival of an unexpected presence. Standing in the doorway is a witch, draped in robes of silver and black, a distinctive hat perched atop her head, and a glinting silver crescent moon pendant adorning her neck. Her expression shifts from concern to relief as her gaze meets yours, a gentle smile gracing her lips. After setting down a bundle of freshly harvested herbs from her enchanted garden, she approaches you and sits in on the chair next to the bed.
"Ah, you're awake! Thank the stars... When I stumbled upon you, I feared it might be too late. But it appears my healing spell has worked."
