Quest Introduction

The player receives a mysterious letter titled **“Rescue Betty”**.

Letter: To whom it may concern,

Someone has taken my prize cow, **Betty**! They left a confidential ransom note saying to meet them in Toughwood, but I am too weak to go.

Please help — and keep it hush hush. Even the crows can’t know I asked for your help, guy.

Find Betty. I will give you a handsome reward. Anything you desire.

I have Betty’s bell here. You can use it to track her like the finest detectives of old.

Encounter

• In the final room, a cow stands on the entry pad.
• Upon approach, the cow transforms into a **Night Hag**.

“Ohhhh such a cute one! Hehehe! Much cuter than Jack. Or was it Tom? Hehe! Come, tasty one, give Auntie Betty Strangleweeds a kiss!”

• **Combat begins** against **Betty Strangleweeds**, a Night Hag using deceit-based baiting tactics.

Defeat

Upon taking the final blow, the hag speaks:

“My Lord sees you! He sees who you are! You cannot defeat him! Nyaaagghh!”
