You head to the local tavern — the Black Horse, on Armageddon Street. It’s warm against the cold and rain outside, and the patron has been making stew.
“Hungry?” he calls out.
You nod, and soon a bowl of steaming stew is in front of you, as well as a pint of ale.
“My daughter gathered these mushrooms in the forest,” adds the patron in a lower voice, stepping closer. “Spicy and delicious.”
You eye the crumbled black fungi. “Are they safe?”
The patron grins. “I wouldn’t poison my best customer! But I’ve heard that these mushrooms can have… peculiar effects.”
