This room holds a small bed, a table and several work benches. More flasks, beakers, candles, alembics, decanters, herbs, kettles, and the like may be found. Several books of forbidden lore sit upon the table. A circle, nine feet across and adorned with words of power is etched into the floor.

I am only the blacksmith's assistant, but everyone has pressured me to go on this wolf hunt. This has me very worried - people say I'm strong but I've never killed anything before. I don't know that I won't run away when the wolves charge us.
Hello, sir. Is everything prepared for the summoning? Sorry, I don't know about that. I'm just the blacksmith's assistant. Oh! I thought you were my assistance.  Guess my sight is failing.  Ignore the summoning thing.  It was a JOKE! Yes a joke! What are you here for? I came here to hide. I'm being pressured to go on a wolf hunt, but the thought of killing an animal frightens me. Well you may stay here.  i was just doing some experimentation.  Lead into gold and immortallity potions and all that stuff.  What is that picture of I see you holding? It's a family photo. I lost my parents and siblings in the war when I was a child. It's the only thing I have left. Great power in items that contain important memories.  If you would like to part with it I can brew you up a fortune potion.  I won't even charge you a fee if you forget about the original thing I said.  I'm already being accused of being a witch.  All I need is something else to hold over my head. Thank you for the offer, but no potion could ever replace this photo. It means far too much to me. And don't worry, I won't tell anyone what you said. Let me a least give you something.  A love potion? An intelligence potion? I can brew a less powerful fortune one if you like? Perhaps a bravery potion? It's so embarrassing having to hide out of fear all the time. Awww yes.  That I can do.  I have me some lions tail around here somewhere....  Let me begin brewing it.  Do you think hunting wolves makes one brave?
