A week into the event, as you make your way through the ever-intriguing booths and play your way through the daily games, you find yourself standing once more in front of the information tent. Only... something has changed. The sign that read 'Information' has been flipped over, and now reads 'Witch's Cauldron'.
Intrigued, you enter the tent to find with witch sitting behind her cauldron, stirring the bubbling green liquid within with a comically large wooden staff. The witch doesn't seem to notice you for a moment, but then they speak.
Come to the Witch's Cauldron, have you?
Their voice sounded much eerier than you remembered, although that could have been a joke to keep alive the spirit of the holiday. You nod, trying not to let your trembling show.
What have you brought me to gamble in my brew?
Gamble? You are confused for a moment before the witch speaks again.
If you've come to the cauldron, that must mean you want a potion. But all potions come with a price. Sacrifice two of your precious items, or fifty candy eyes, and we will see if the cauldron awards you a gift or a curse....
The ominous warning rings in your head. Should you take the chance, or will you simply walk away?
