A Quest For Potions [v0.0.1] [Demon Alter Studios]
A traveller comes to Hartwell, a village in the Hartwold, to buy the Hartwell Clear, a potion said to cure anything, for her mother’s cough. Her brother Aled set out on the same errand last spring and never came back. She finds the village’s well has gone sour since a storm wrecked the Stillhouse that used to purify it, and the people who drank from it have become the restless figures she has to “see off”. She restarts the Still with the villagers and brews the Clear. Her last task is to get three of the lost men to sit down and drink it, and one of them wears a blue cloak with a clasp like her own.
