Into the Treehouses
When we killed the giant ice toad the bullywug leader was mounted on, he tried to flee and call his soldiers to defend him, but they had been caught by a net thrown by the grung. It was looking as if we'd defeat them with ease, until their shaman started making a horrid croaking noise. It made my head start swimming, Ulfhild fell unconscious, and the rest seemed to be faring little better. Mikkil gave chase to their leader, and was knocked down with a nasty stab through the thigh. Still, we defeated the rest of them, and the grung were very grateful, offering to take us to their druids who have healing magic.
Fortunately Vruas, the largest of our moons, was in full last night, so we were able to cross the Moonbridge easily. Jormund spotted some chwingas after they gifted him a pipe, though nobody seemed quite sure how to use it, somehow...
Though the grung usually live in the treehouses, they can't at the moment as they've been taken over by the monsters, so their current residence is hidden nearby. When we get to them, we're greeted a halfling and two very tall (and very hot) women. These are the druids we were told about by the grung, and they must be dryads, judging from the petals covering their skin like dragon scales. They only have a few healing potions, as most of them were left in the treehouses before they fled. They taste like bile, but they do the job, and I feel incredibly well rested after only an hour around a campfire.
With that, the dryads open a portal in the trees, taking us within a hundred feet of the treehouses, and stand back to watch as we go towards the base of the largest tree. As we approach, a horde creatures made of branches emerge from our sides, but are easily dealt with. The real battle comes from the tree as an enormous, living vine unwinds itself from around it, and under our feet a network of vines come alive and try to restrain us. I had hoped that, being a plant creature, this thing would be easily dealt with with a blast of fire. Mikkil seems to have had the same idea though, and his fire bolt seemed barely to affect it, so I tried to hit it with a witch bolt instead, and accidentally gave a little zap to Carmilla instead (sorry, Carmilla!)
We defeated the vine, but it was really rather easy... as we ascend into the treehouses, I suspect that there will be tougher monsters ahead.
