Oh, my dear, that was a difficult task. I can sooth you, but to cure you I will need to use magic. That is possible, but magic has its price. For the remedy to work and the effect to last, you have to sacrifice something. Are you prepared for that?

I will now list the options for you, but what you choose must involve a sacrifice, so some options will not help you. For each of the options you must answer if you find the price acceptable compared to what you get. In the end, you will be asked to make your choice. Do you understand me?

It may happen that magic will not work for the price you are willing to pay. I must therefore ask you to pick one more option as your second choice.

You have now chosen what you want to be cured for, and you have decided what you are most willing to sacrifice to achieve the cure. Now compare the advantage of the cure with the cost of the sacrifice. Are you still ready for the magic? If so, select the option you go for. Just remember that magic is magic, so you will not be able to cheat. If you found out that all options were too difficult, and decided not to go for the deal, select one of three last responses. Good luck! Your life may change irreversibly when you push the button...
