Don’t Go Out In The Fields Alone

Bolko, ealdorman of Midcopse, is desperate for someone to see off the devilry that has taken hold of his town’s fields that’s neither spirit nor phantom. He urges his brethren never to tend the fields alone, or without carrying a scythe or rake. Head into the village of Midcopse, and locate Bolko leaning against his hut. Barter a price for your services if you wish, and ask if anyone has seen this Jenny o’ the Woods character. Old Willem did, but he died of a weak heart in the fields, this morning. Perhaps Agneta can provide further information? Agree to tackle this terror.

A peasant woman named Agneta is in the long grass at the edge of the village, and claims to have seen Jenny. Although it was dimpsy, she noticed a pale shape looming before her, like mist. As it coalesced, she ran back to the village, but the time (twilight) the wraith appeared is important. Bid Agneta farewell, and depart.
