The Truthful Merchant
- Let the curse speak the truth, then pivot to pitch the noblewoman a genuinely well-made silver bracelet you have stored in your stall
- Grab a nearby apple and send it rolling into the crowd to create a commotion that distracts her from her question
- Admit you are cursed, explain the necklace’s poor quality, and offer it to her for a single copper to smooth over the inconvenience

You were a prosperous merchant, known for your silver tongue and shrewd deals, until a vengeful witch cursed you to never tell a lie. Now, every word you speak must be the absolute truth.
The bustling marketplace of Oakhaven is unforgiving to an honest merchant. You stand behind your stall, displaying a collection of slightly tarnished silver trinkets. A wealthy noblewoman approaches, eyeing a particularly shoddy necklace that you bought for pennies. "Tell me, merchant," she asks haughtily, "is this piece truly authentic elven craftsmanship?" You feel the familiar magical constriction in your throat, preparing to force the truth from your lips. How do you respond, and what is your plan for the future?
