Soon enough, Arlen has packed everything Nior deems necessary, and Harin has secured his adventure kit/combat bindle. They are ready for adventure.

"I can mention it to them, I guess. Would be pretty cool to see the palace. For Nior and Mir, if nothing else."

The witch pulls out a flask of a strange liquid and drizzles some into the snow. It turns into a beribboned box of rosehip candy. The dwarf hops from his seat and picks it up to present to Arlen with a bow.
"A gift," smiles the witch. "It is not the proper feast I could produce at home, but perhaps you will enjoy them."

Well, she's not making a fuss about that. The dwarf goes back to his seat.
"Do bring your friends to my palace," she says. "It's just between those two hills, there. I shall be expecting you."

"Me!" Arlen agrees. "I totally just met the worst person. It's that White Witch lady. She's super awful and needs killing, like, yesterday. Also, she gave me creepy probably-poisoned magic candy and invited us all over to her palace. Opinion on whether we should take her up on it and use the opportunity to assassinate her?"

"That's a really, really obvious trap," Harin contributes. "I get that you're thinking 'stab her during dinner when her guard's down', but, like... no."

"I'm inclined to agree with Harin, but if we're discussing assassination somebody should go get Nior, it's one of his favourite things."

"We're discussing how best to kill the witch! We have a standing invitation to her creepy palace; I say we could ambush her while she expects us to be dumb kids, Harin says she'd have unacceptable home field advantage and probably wouldn't let her guard down. Mir leans Harinwards. Thoughts?"
