~Prologue: We're Off To See the Witch~
One week has passed since Sybil Hallewell's request for assistance began appearing on town news boards across the nation, promising a hefty sum of 10,000 gold to each individual who saw the journey through to the end. It is, in its own way, drawing the entire nation's attention; even with the Rotation so imminent. Or, is it because of it? Nonetheless, towns are abuzz with activity as hopeful youths and veteran mercenaries leap at the opportunity for such a reward. Given that the journey to Hallewall's may be long, and perhaps even treacherous, many have taken to forming groups with whomever willing they can find.
All with one destination in mind...

Sybil Hallewell's mansion, or at least that's what everyone assumes it must be, lies just beyond the hill if the directions posted were anything close to accurate. Assumed fortune aside, whoever this woman is she either knows the land very well or has in her employ people just as skilled. Perhaps a sign of her wealth?
At the very least she picked a good time to post her request. Spring is just beginning to turn to summer and the weather could not be better for traveling; during noon the sunlight could be described as comfortable, even for those in heavy armor. Perhaps now would be a good time for a quick rest? The group has been traveling since early this morning, eager to meet their new employer and by now it was at least an hour passed noon. Yet who could say how many other groups must have arrived by now, potentially enough to make Hallewell reconsider her offer of 10,000 gold each.
Whatever the decision, it is one that must be made now.
