Despite the odd, unnatural feel of the area, Aram wasn't worried. He didn't see any immediate danger, and didn't feel threatened. "How many hags makes up a coven?" he asks jokingly.

"Since you ask, friend Aram, in my studies of magic I learned that the traditional number is thirteen, and given the circumstances in which we find ourselves, and our present enviroment, I am decidedly NOT amused by your humor."

Aram smiles and gestures to the interior of the hut. "I only ask because this dwelling is decidely too small for 13 women to reside in."

"I beg to differ! Provided that they are anorexic halflings I should think that they would have plenty of room here!"

"Are you sure about the number, Bevin? I thought there would be much less..." Girgal asks the dwarf.

"Well, of course, I can't say this is true for all witches everywhere, but the tradition is for a coven of witches to have thirteen members. But, even so, all thirteen of them would not have to always be present in the same place at the same time. There may also be other witch traditions, that I do not know about, which have covens of different sizes."

[sblock=Leif]Actual female wizards or sorcerers can gather in groups of any size.[/sblock]

[sblock=Walking Dad]You don't know about actual female spellcasters, but there are magical, evil female monsters called hags that gain more power if they gather in a group of three, with one of each type.[/sblock]

"Why are you two so fascinated with hags?" asks Aram. "Personally, I'd be happier if we found a haram full of nymphs. Ah, now that would be a pleasant surprise."

"Ahh, Aram: forever being led around by your 'staff.' I'll wager that a real encounter with the nymphs you seek would not end as pleasantly as you hoped!"

"... more like three. And hags are not normal spellcastin women, but magical, evil female monsters that gain more power if they gather in a group of three, with one of each type." Girgal finishes his sentence.
