One ritual down, prep for one more.

As you recover from your ritual, the hag goes to where the rapist had been, and there is only a lootbag there. She does her chanting before opening it.

She has you leave where the ritual had been done, and tells you, “This will take a while to do. Give me an hour to ready the curse. If ye let me view the tomes, I may find ways to make it stronger, but will add more time. An hour more at least.”

You think a bit and tell her “I will lend the tomes to ye. I’m also giving you something to keep for your efforts.”

That something was the bone dagger, and 20 rations. “I figure the dagger will help, and as ye have another mouth to feed, the rations will cover that expense. Again because I brought her to you, I need to ensure you are not unfairly put out. No debt owed.”
