The Malevolent Gambit

The innkeeper, a man of advanced age with silver hair and a weathered face, stood tall behind the counter. He wore a worn-out apron over his simple, dark clothing, which seemed to blend seamlessly with the dimly lit interior of the inn. His deep, gravelly voice carried a sense of authority and wisdom as he addressed the group of four.

"You have chosen to partake in the Trial of the Cursed Village," the innkeeper began, his eyes locked onto each member of the group. " Then in this trial, you will play Seven games against the residents of the village, each with its own unique challenge. Succeed in a game, and you will be granted the chance to ask one question. But beware, you cannot ask directly about how to escape this village. Your questions must be shrewd and cunning, leading you towards the answer without revealing the full truth."
