(50) Hermes the Druid: May nature watch over you, friend. Even in a place such as this, where nature may seem cruel, it still has its purpose. But I will admit, even for one such as I, faced with the unrelenting cold, the warm village hearths do offer their temptation.
A goblin witch hides in the woods, do you know of a way to track her? → (51)

What's a druid doing all the way out here? → (58)
The wolf, is he your pet? → (59)
(51) Hermes the Druid: Hmm, I may know of a way indeed… I take it she has been marked for death after her attack on the village. Are you to be the bane of Skrella Chillbone?
Certainly, if that is her name. → (54)
(76) Woofy the Snow Wolf: *Woofy eyes you warily and takes good care to sniff the meat you've offered him… but then he relaxes and chomps through the meat with great enthusiasm!*
(58) Hermes the Druid: Ah, but why would a druid not be here? The elements in these lands are arguably more raw, more pure. It is places such as these where a druid may discover a deeper connection with nature. Well, not exactly within this very village, perhaps, but out there in the wild.

(59) Hermes the Druid: My kind do not believe in having 'pets'. No, I would rather call Woofy my friend. He's offered excellent companionship, especially in times I've been isolated from other humans. Woofy can be quite talkative, you see, if you have the ear to understand him.

(52) Hermes the Druid: I am familiar with most creatures of the forest. The goblins are hateful of all other living beings, they wish to dominate the wilds, and none so more than the witch Skrella. She knows tricks and treachery, and many old secrets of magic that are no doubt beyond me - she is not to be underestimated.
What does she want with the villagers? → (53)
Let's get to the part where I track down her hideout. → (54)
(54) Hermes the Druid: Then meet my friend Woofy, the Snow Wolf. I did offer him many other, more flattering names, such as 'Stalker of the Tundra', or 'Ice Claw', but he much prefered 'Woofy'…
(77) Woofy the Snow Wolf: *Woofy's eyes light up, he now considers you a friend!*Woof!
(53) Hermes the Druid: Simply their destruction, of that I'm fairly certain. If humans did not drive back the goblin-kind from time to time, I expect they'd have free dominion over these woodlands.
Tell me again, what do you know of her? → (52)

(55) Woofy the Snow Wolf: *Woofy looks at you with friendly eyes, though also with a healthy dose of suspicion.*Woof!
(56) Hermes the Druid: Woofy has a very keen nose. If you take him out to the woods, I have no doubt he'll reveal the Goblin Witch to you in no time. But Woofy can be initially a little distrusting, hmm…
(57) Hermes the Druid: You could try offering him raw meat from the local elk, I believe it's his favorite.*Offer 1 Raw Elk Meat to Woofy in order to befriend him and gain him as a follower.*
Here, boy… *Offer Raw Elk Meat to Woofy.* → (76)
I see, I'll have to acquire some first. → (0)
