Dialogue
'''Tales have spread far and wide of the Mist Maiden. In the midst of the great swamp to the south there are herbs and flowers of such fantastic medicinal and magical qualities that untold numbers of adventurers have sought. Nearly half of all who go there do not return. Many of those who do come back tell of a creature at once beautiful and terrifying beyond imagination....'''

You: This swamp isn't quite as foreboding as the cursed forest of Darkovia, but there is a chill in the air despite the heat. You: Since I am here, I have two choices: Search for the magical herbs and flowers everyone talks about, or look for the mysterious Mist Maiden.
 * Search for Magical Plants
 * Search for the Mysterious Maiden

You: Okay! Time to hunt for highly prized herbs and flowers. I need to search this swamp thoroughly....

'''Look closely for any plants that seem out of the ordinary. But beware, there are deadly creatures in this swamp as well...'''

Mist Maiden Encounter

You: Wow!! It's you--the Mist Maiden!! Savaya: Ahhhh, the name is so quaint. It has been with me for so many years that I cannot imagine parting with it. My true name is Savaya. You may call me by either. You: I have heard you are dangerous, and have come to find out for myself. Savaya: And what do you believe now? Am I "dangerous"? You: I don't know. Tell me what someone such as yourself is doing out in this swamp full of monsters and mud. And dressed so finely, at that. Savaya: Can a secret not be kept? Or is that beyond reason? I pity the world, full of so many who can leave no stone unturned; who poke and prod all they survey until nothing is left of dreams. You: Well, where would we be if it wasn't for those people? The explorers and mages and adventurers.... Savaya: And you are one of those people, I fear. I must apologize, but I must leave. Many things to attend to. Perhaps one day we will meet again..... You: Okay. Be careful out here! Savaya: And you be careful as well. You: Whaaaaaa?!?!
