Session 18 - The Hag and the Dryad
As combat began, the once-nymph-turned-hag Gwenvere ducked under the muddy water, hiding and biding her time. As Jack, Bryn, and Myetharia battled the wretch, Rayland and Winry snuck into her cavernous abode, and found what they were looking for. There, wrapped around a mannequin's head, was a lock of blonde hair tied together with a brass clip.
Snatching the relic of Anyariel, the two made their escape. But as the Protectors of the Pass tried to board their giant roc steed, Gwenvere attacked. But she was rebuffed by many attacks from the prepared party, with Jack furiously and brutally landing the final blow.
Removing Gwenvere's head, the party mounted the roc and soared over the blaze of the forest, to Timbre's Grove, home of the forest's dryad spirit. Once there, the Protectors displayed the lock of hair, prompting the dryad to share her story.
In short, she revealed that in years past, Shahalesti attacked the forest. But Anyariel defended it. Wounded, she was cared for by Timbre. To thank her for her sacrifice, Timbre gave Anyariel her wooden sword, a living piece of Timbre's willow tree. When Indomitability attacked years later, it was that same sword that pinned Trilla to the bottom of Seela Lake. Timbre revealed that while that piece of her tree survived, so would the Seela. So long as the sword was bound to a living person.
Armed with this information, and accompanied by Timbre herself, the Protectors of the Pass again mounted their roc companion, beginning their return to the Seela village.
