"Who dares enter my domain?!"
Sprite and Rabbit Knight braced themselves for an attack before Yvlena jumped in, trying to prevent a battle before it could occur.
"Wait!" Yvlena said "I'm the new Harvest Guardian, Yvlena, I'm not here to fight you,"
The voi the shadows chuckled with relish. Yvlena could make out something shifting in the darkness as the figure of a hunched over woman moved closer to her.
"Passed the mantle on has he? goddess knows what happeo Rael," the voice said.
"You knew Rael?"
"Hold yourself, I'll be asking the question here," the voice said.
Yvlena's mouth snapped shut. She watched the figure e into the dim light of the hearth.
"I am Bavga, Witch of Bone and you are in my domain, the Avaresh S. What business do you have here?" She hissed.
[NAME: Bavga
RACE: S Hag
OCC: Boch]
Yvlena heard the g of Bavga's staff as it hit the ground whilst the old witch dragged herself forward. It was a long crudely carved wooden staff topped with the skull of a bird fitted with two shining yellow orbs, a ring of beads and some feathers.
The orbs within the skull's eyes glowed maliciously, and led Yvlena to assume they were the source of the witch's power.
The hag was a hunched over old woman with sallow skin and a hard creased face lined with wrinkles and folds, from all her time living within the Avaresh S alone.
Her hair was the same thick s grass used oside of the house, obsg half her fad only allowing a single glowio bulge out from the woman's water swollen face.
The smell of rotten fish a herbs apanied Bavga as she strode forward.
"Before I answer any questions of yours you will have to pass my test, if you are a true Harvest Guardian just as Rael and those before you,"
Bavga looked Yvlena up and down, iing the elven girl and her summons.
This Yvlena recalled from her mother's tale, she knew what the old hag would say .
"You are nothing but a child," Bavga said. She smmed the edge of her staff unto the wooden floor, lighting the room with magic.

'The quest is plete,' Yvlena thought, Bavga found her way to a rog chair carved out of old animal bones with a cushion crafted from pelts.
She rested her back against it with a sigh, rog bad forth as she stared grimly at Yvlena, appraising her again. After a moment of silehe witch smirked, then a slow grin spread across her face showing yellow, misshapeh crawling with little critters.
Yvlena grimaced.
"If you really are the Harvest Guardian as you say you are, these tasks will be no trouble for you," Bavga said.
'Here e the three trials,' Yvlena thought, predig the story. She khe NPC would not deviate much from the source material. It wasn't hard to guess Bavga would put her through ay test.
After all, Viseli too had questioned Yvlena's identity as the current Harvest Guardian.
Bavga coughed, a deep and raspy gurgle of her throat as if she was trying to clear something stuck. She snorted and spat a glob of bto the firepce.
The fmes roared, fueled by the wad of thick spit.
“Well?" Bavga said impatiently. Yvlena nodded.

Bavga lifted her hand and began ting something in an a nguage, a pile of bones in the er rattled ominously in the s's wind. The room shuddered as Bavga ted.
The bones began piling on top of one another, affixing to joins and f a body, until they had arrahemselves into a monstrous dog-like creature.
Yvlena noticed the glowier in its chest, the same yellow as Bavga's staff shihrough the bony ribs cage of the Bo
Bavga cackled as the bo began rising, the dog-like entity growled at Yvlena and her summons then turo its master and lowered itself waiting for the witch to give the and.

[Do You Accept?]
[Yes/No]
Yvlena gulped, looking into the bo's empty eye sockets, the thing was already sizing her up, ready to end her.
Yvlena had not yet allowed her HP to fall to zero and she did not io do so here. She hit yes, allowing the bo to luowards her and start the battle.
"Sprite cast bind!" Yvlena ordered her summon, with a strategy on her mind she shouted the first and as she set her pn into a.
The forest fairy obliged, tendrils of wet, slimy s grass burst forth from the floor boards trolled by Sprite's fairy magic. They wound around the bo's leg holding it in pce.
Yvle as if she was ba the manain fighting the Lower Miasmic Beast in the narrow corridor. She didn't know why the boch would allow such a battle to take p her abode but who was Yvlena to question it.
"Keep it busy," Yvlena said to her summons, they nod and jump into battle with the terrible creature.
Yvlena noticed Bavga watg her intensely, judging her every move. Yvlena summoned her cauldron and began crafting a potion that would help her itle.
A brief expression of surprise crossed Bavga's face at the sight of the cauldron. The witch seemed impressed.
Yvlena bottled aanglia potion and hurled it at the beast allowing the jured vio hold the creature steady in pce.
Or so she thought.
Before she k the vines began to snap, the poor quality of the potion was no match for the creature it sought to bind.
The bo wrestled against it's bindings and ripped the magical vines up before the time . Rabbit Knight leaped in tag the beast head on.

Her summooe to toe with the beast unafraid as Yvlena brewed more potions. She bottled a freeze potion and smmed it against the bo's head.
The creature fell with a thud, weighed down by the block of ig it's skull. Yvlena ran forward heaving her sword and bringing it down swiftly on the creatures ribcage.
It's shattered with the force of the bde, a small yellow or rolled out of the broken side. Yvlena dove for it, grabbing it in one had as the ice from the freeze Potion shattered.
The bo rose again, opening it's toothy maw to bite down on Rabbit Knight.
Without knowing what it was, Yvlena crushed the orb in her hand, crag the gssy surfad shattering it with her strength.
The bo shook, rattling loudly as it crumpled into a pile of bones.
