Stay and ask about the doctor
From Create Your Own Story
"THe doctor seemed nice enough to me. He treated my head and gave me a room to stay."
The woman snorts. "Those are the only good words I've ever heard about him."
"What do you mean?"
"He's lived up on that mountain for about fifteen years. He just moved into the castle one day. His assistant, Igor, would come here and buy produce and supplies, so we didn't mind him at first. Then we found dug up graves and had machinery stolen. We were never able to link them to him, but we're pretty sure. It got worse after that. He did things to some of our livestock. Cows aren't supposed to be purple, or have two heads. Not long after all this started happening, my cousin went up to ask him to stop meddling in our affairs or move out. We never saw my cousin again. We've had worse things, too. Monsters, practically. He'll mess with nature, then set his creation free. We're left to deal with it. Last year, it was a supersized wolf, and the year before, a cyborg bear. We've had other people go up to confront him. Few ever came back. You're lucky you got out when you did."
She looks awful sincere, but you just can't believe that. Then you remember Doctor Kreuger's comment about repairing horses, and you wonder if there's something to this after all.
