Local herbalist completely folded when those vines got tight in the Trial Cave

I was near the entrance of the Trial Cave this afternoon when I saw the village herbalist, Sylvia, get herself snagged by those overgrown magical vines. She usually walks around the village like she owns the place, totally cool and collected. But today? The second those things coiled around her, she just froze up. No weapon, no fight, just looking absolutely terrified. She was literally hyperventilating until someone finally cut her loose. I’ve seen her act like she’s some kind of seasoned forest survivalist, but she had zero idea what to do once the real trouble started.

Is she really that helpless? She always carries that herb kit like it’s a dagger.

Reply to Curious_Bystander: It’s a kit. It won’t stop a monster.

Wait, the lady who sells the dried mint? She always acted like she could handle anything. That’s wild.

Reply to ForestWatcher88: She’s got a kid too, right? Must be exhausting pretending you’re a ranger when you're just a mom.

Does she actually have any combat training at all? Someone confirm.

Maybe she's just trying to survive for her daughter's sake. Leave her alone, she's trying her best.

If you don't have offensive magic or a blade in that cave, you're toast. Why even go near it if you aren't prepared?

Everyone keeps talking about her, but have you actually tried asking if she needs help? Probably not because she’s too busy being 'independent'.

I saw her sitting on her porch at night, just staring into the woods. She looked like she was waiting for a miracle.

I tried to offer her an escort last month and she practically hissed at me. Talk about pride coming before the fall.
