'You don't know of Grandmother Yaga?' the man asks. You shake your head and ask the man his name and for more information. He opens the gate to the village wider. 'Come in. It's not safe out there. Grandmother has set her Yuletide Daemons loose in the forest.'

You step into the village. The man introduces himself as Gennadi. You greet him in kind and ask him about Grandmother and her daemons. Gennadi sighs. 'She's a witch that has haunted these areas for a long time. She's hateful and wicked. We fear she has captured our kindest, most noble local. His Granddaughter is out there now, looking for him.' Gennadi looks up with sad eye. 'Aye, Rochka. The villages Snow Maiden. She is safe from the daemons but no one is safe from Grandmother Yaga.' You turn back to the gate. 'Let me out. I'm a warrior and I shall assist this girl in the rescue of his Grandfather.' Gennadi smiles. 'You're sure? You'll really help her?' You nod, readying your weapon as Gennadi opens the gate. 'Good fortune to you warrior. Be safe.' The gate closes behind you and you set off, looking for Rochka.

You stalking through the growing blizzard, searching for Rochka. You hear what you think is shouting, though the swirling snow makes it hard to pinpoint. You find the young woman, standing in the snow, seemingly unconcerned by the swirling snow. She is calling out a name. It sounds like 'Edd Zorom' as well as 'Grandfather'. You catch her attention and her eyes widen as she sees something behind you...

Rochka's eye go widen, gazing behind you. You spin and see what surprised her. A swarm of Yuletide Daemons are charging you! With a savage bellow, you charge the wicked daemons, hewing about yourself with mighty sweeps of your weapon, destroying the daemons in great swathes. In little time, it is done. The foul little monsters being no match for your skills. With the daemons wiped out, you turn to find Rochka staring at you, agog. You clean your weapon in the snow and stow it. 'Rochka?' you ask. She nods, mute.

You're about to approach the hut when you hear the high pitched screams of more Yuletide Daemons.

Stage 8 Minimum Level: 4100 Location:Forest of Yule (Rimsky Clearing) (3, 3) Required Item: None Required Kills: 100 x Yuletide Daemon

You wipe out the daemons and turn in time to see the hut settle down. The door opens and Grandmother Yaga appears. 'You've come for the old fool, Zorom! You shall not have him.' Your question causes Yaga to stop and stroke her whiskery chin. 'A trade, eh? Very well. Find a Mandrake Root for me. They are rare, especially at this time of year. Find one and return if you want to save this wretched man!'

Stage 9 Minimum Level: 4100 Location:Forest of Yule (Morozko Mountain) (1, 18) Required Item: None Required Kills: None

You search the forest high and low. Just as you are preparing to simply give up and storm Yaga's hut, you make out a low keening noise. After hunting around a bit, you find the source of the keening. You find a Mandrake Root poking out from the snow. You dig it out and the keening gets loader. You pack soil into the roots mouth-like opening and the keening reduces in volume again. Time to take the vile thing to Yaga. You receive 'Mandrake Root'.

You return to the hut on chicken legs. Brandishing the mandrake, the hut recoils slightly then settles down and opens the door. Yaga is waiting for you. 'You have the Mandrake Root?' she says, clearly not believing it. You pull out the keening root and throw it to her. Shocked, she snatches it from the air and stuffs it in a jar. 'Well, you found one, even though you shouldn't have. Guess I'll have to deal with you and add YOU to my larder!' With a high pitched shriek, Grandmother Yaga flies at you, claw-like fingers outstretched!

With it's mistress dead, the hut shudders. You dive inside and in a side room, you find whom you assume to be Edd Zorom trussed up. You throw him over your shoulder and dive out of the hut just as it straightens up and runs into the forest with a crash.

You put the man in the blue robe down gently and cut his bonds. 'Yes, that's me. I don't know you. How do you know of me?' You tell Zorom that you'd visited the village where they were concerned about both him and Rochka. At the mention of his Granddaughter, Zorom starts. 'Is Rochka safe? The headstrong girl didn't follow, did she?' You assure him that you caught up with her and with your promise to rescue him, Rochka returned to the village to wait. 'Oh, thank goodness. I love the girl but she worries about me too much.' You point out he's just been rescued from an enemy. 'A fair point. Well! Let's not keep her waiting. Let us head back to the village.

Rochka...' he calls out as a blur rushes past him and nearly knocks Zorom over in a hug. The happy group retire into the village. People warm themselves by fires and chat. Several approach to thank you for rescuing Zorom and ridding the mountain of Grandmother Yaga and her minions. You tell them they are most welcome. Zorom and Rochka come to you. 'You are welcome to stay with us as long as you wish before you continue your adventures. We will be glad of exchanging tales and providing you food thanks to your efforts.' You thank them for the hospitality and spend a good amount of time in the village. As suggested, tales are exchanged and a good time is had by all.
