You agree to pay the heap of mountain that the Sorceress demands.
"Splendid! Nothing pleases me more than new riches to swim in!" She hops off her mount and raises her hands.
Suddenly you are wracked with convulsions and see darkness in front of your eyes! Other courtiers help you to maintain your seating position while the Sorceress begins her spell.
"Deuses da vida e da morte, escoite!
Escoitar a miña petición!"You no longer see darkness but instead there are purple and pink and yellow swirls...
"I conceder ese saúde do home e longa vida,
e resistencia e forza!"You feel like your intestines are turning into pretzels...
"E nin debe Señora da Enfermidade, nin o Deus da Morte, nin a Raíña do Destino,"And now there's that god-awful hissing noise in your head, too...
"Pon-o de durmir antes de que sexa verdadeiramente o seu tempo!"Suddenly all this pain and strange sights and noise disappear and you feel well again!
"Done. Where's the Treasury?" The guards lead and her grotesque entourage to the Treasury, and few hours later you learn that she left naught but some coins in few mostly empty chests.
You don't feel changed, to be honest, but maybe this spell will show its might in some other way.

855 AD, Spring
A report comes from a city governor in the north-east. Apparently, packs of savage wolves are accosting the travelers and some peasants have succumbed to an explained desire to sleep.
You heard of this occuring in Luathbas once.
"I told your father but he did not listen!" Your mother laments when you tell her of this. "The Witch King would and is back to bring more torment to the people of Luathbas! Ethelwulf, you ought to send for a Wizard immediately."
