{"type":"location","location":{"title":"Arrival at Băiţa Village","description":"You step off the minibus onto a dirt road lined with weathered stone cottages. The mountain air is crisp and carries the faint smell of wood smoke. Around you, the Carpathian peaks loom against a grey afternoon sky. The village of Băiţa is smaller than you expected—perhaps thirty houses scattered along the hillside, their windows dark despite the early hour. An old woman on a nearby porch quickly crosses herself and retreats inside when she notices you. In your notebook, you have three names: the Popescu family (disappeared three weeks ago), the Ionescu family (vanished two months prior), and the village priest, Father Mircea, who reportedly has information. Your academic credentials as a folklore researcher should help you gain trust, though the locals seem nervous about outsiders. The village square lies ahead to your left, while a narrow path winds upward toward what appears to be the church. To your right, the road continues deeper into the village.","suggestedActions":["Head to the village square to look for people to interview","Walk up the path toward the church to find Father Mircea","Approach the old woman on the porch and ask her about the disappearances","Explore the houses deeper in the village","Ask a passing villager for directions to the Popescu family home"],"conversation":"h38wb1muud5q447olrestf"},"conversationLength":1,"maxFreeConversationLength":10}
