The someone appears to be a little old lady. |

You jump back, hands open and empty towards the woman. "Whoa, Ma'am! I'm unarmed and mean you no harm!" |

"I'm not a witch!" the lady sobs. You turn to her. "I'm [USERNAME]. I'll deal with this. I think I know what to do." The lady looks at you. "Bless you [USERNAME]. I'm Moira." |
Moira smiles. "You really know what you have to do?" she asks. "Aye!" you say. "I shall have to create bindings to trap the children. That should snap them from the spell they are under." You pull out a parchment and note what you think will work. |
