Edward Wood

Once you are friends

You seem a spirited sort. Like adventuring, do you? I bet you have seen some sights.

Me? I like things a bit quiet. A nice simple life. I need to look after Daisy. She's all I have other than my health, my heart and a good solid bed.

Once they like you

I wasn't exactly straight with you previously. I might like the quiet life now, but I used to be an adventurer. Yes, I had a sword, and I used it many times when out in Simplewood. Those dark forests are strange places. You go near one, and it's like the trees beckon you in and sing you a wordless song. You get drawn to find out what is in there.

I was a pretty good slayer of monsters, and so was my wife. But sadly, she was drawn to Toughwood. I tried to reason with her, but she insisted. I looked after baby Daisy and the wait was awful. She returned but mortally wounded. I vowed revenge but never stepped into the woods again.

Asking for help

It was the anniversary of my wife's passing recently. I keep wanting to slay a Night Hag in her honour. Well, honour and revenge.

If you ever wander into Toughwood and encounter one of those evil witches, please say hello from me, and if you kill it, I will reward you handsomely.

When it is done

You did it? Incredible. That gives me some peace. My wife would surely be thanking you, too, in whatever form she is in now. I hope that witch had a shocked look on her face as you ran her through. You have done a great deed, dear friend.
