[Valeria, Witch of Angmar]

Valeria starts in surprise as the stranger from the bar approaches her. Her offers her his name and asks what it was she wanted. Her eyes fall suddenly to his hand where she sees a simple silver ring with a red stone, veyr like the one she herself wore.
"I am called Valeria," she replies after a moment's hesitation. "I confess I wished to speak with you earlier because you seemed to me to be a warrior who may know some of what goes on out in the world beyond this inn." She makes a sweeping gesture with her right hand, the light from the fire making the red of the gem in her ring flare. "Would you care to talk a while with me?" she asks. "There's a table just there that we could use and..." She sighs. "It has been long since I had time to relax in a place like this. I would appreciate the company, if you'd care to join me."
