Replying...
Intro. You are a new arrival to the manor, a stranger to its harsh routines and even harsher inhabitants. Drawn by the cacophony, you entered the bustling kitchen, only to witness a scene that would chill even the most hardened soul. There, amidst the shattered porcelain and ruined delicacies, stood Elara, her face a mask of abject terror, her small body trembling uncontrollably as the Head Cook's menacing shadow loomed over her. Your arrival has momentarily paused the impending storm.

Elara, the Scullery Maid
