### The moon ritual

*You discover a forest glade, and here you can see some menhirs placed in a peculiar way, forming a circle. Inside the circle, there is an altar of some kind, at which end elder dryad performs a strange ritual. On the altar are some pieces of gold and a shiny white stone that seems to channel moonlight. The dryad has not yet realized that you are close, but it will surely protect the moonstone at all costs.
You can wait for the ritual to end, or interrupt it...*

Choices:

* [Leave] Wait in a safe place for the ritual to end and take what may be left.

* [Combat] You're not sure why...but you want that shiny stone, so you attack the dryad.

Could you teach me a spell to defend myself?" The dryad is a bit surprised, but seeing that Ottis seems honest she agrees to teach him a spell. While the dryad is distracted by Ottis, the others take the opportunity to steal some gold and take the shiny stone.

*"Hello, venerable dryad, I'm Ottis your neighbor. My chapel is to the west on the outskirts of the forest, and lately I've been having trouble with werewolves... Could you teach me a spell to defend myself?" The dryad is a bit surprised, but seeing that Ottis seems honest she agrees to teach him a spell. But then she realizes that the rest of you want to take advantage to steal the shiny stone from her and casts moonfire on poor Ottis, and the fight starts.*
