Bolivar taking some time away from the party hear a voice call out to him... A female voice. As he wander to the mountainside outskirts of the city the voice led him to a hidden passage up the mountain.
Hearing this voice grow louder, he followed and made his way to a small clearing. In the clearing was a large Old Oak tree and in front of it a small bench. Runes carved into the bench suggested that this was a shine to Sylvanus, Bolivar's deity.
Sitting on the bench was a middle-aged half elven woman with long beautiful wavy red hair with a few curls in the front. Her eyes are a very light blue that glimmer. She adorns several feathers braided into her hair, but the most distinguishable feature is a brooch she wears that secures her green cape to her breastplate. It is of a unicorn with a golden horn and similar blue eyes. She spoke;
"Quite the name you’ve established for yourself… Sylvanus, “The Old Oak” has a strange way of sometimes..." The woman stubbles over words and begins to blushes. "Understand that he sees and balances all. Meting out wild water and drought, fire and ice, life and death. Hold your distance and take in the total situation, rather than latching on to the popular idea of what is best. All is in cycle, deftly and beautifully balanced."
As she walks up to Bolivar and gently strokes his cheek, "It is the duty of the devout to see this cycle and the sacred Balance as clearly as possible. Make others see the Balance and work against those that would disturb it. Watch, anticipate, and quietly manipulate. Resort to violence and open confrontation only when pressured by time or hostile action. Fight against the felling of forests, banish disease wherever you find it, defend the trees, and plant new flora wherever possible. Seek out, serve, and befriend the dryads furthermore, learn their names. Kill only when needful, destroy fire and its employers. Disrupt the darkness with your radiant aura, Bolivar. Being charged with great power, comes with no small deal of responsibility. Let your faith be the canopy in which you and your companions can find confidence. Remember… There is balance in everything…"
She walks up to Bolivar who is now sitting on the bench with her and leans over to kiss his cheek. As her lips touch him, Bolivar vision goes dark. He awakens moments later laying on the bench, feeling more powerful and steadfast in his convictions for Sylvanus.

Eudora teleported the party to an area of the underdark, deep beneath Daggerford.
Party made their way through the underdark, passing by a nest of umberhulks Eventually entered Maraxax's Domain where you are currently.
