General Summary
Start in Crescent City Inn in Marketplace
Overhear story about The Redwood from a half-elf gloating to women in a corner booth
Telena: Half-Orc barmaid in mid-30's
Dolores: Orc cook, about 46 years old
Half-elf goes up to room with two women
Get infrom from Telena about Redwood - comes from Dolores' notebook
Half-elf dude robbed by women, nothing exciting in his room to steal
Take wagon ride to Aleura w/ a young half-elf who tells awful story of unrequited love while his father tells their guard great stories in the wagon ahead
Take another wagon west from aleura w/ two young mushroom hunters who stop for every mushroom they see
Leve them to head north to Redwood, receive pouch of mushrooms
Arrive to Redwood a few days later. Very mysitcal, trees' leaves move like fire
See piercing blue-eyed creature, go to follow, get accosted by three little bastard gremlin things in wooden masks, end up killing one, death lilly sprouts on the spot
Follow blue-eyed creature again
meet Lillan, deer lower half, human upper half, about 6'4", has been guarding the Redwood for over 130 years
Learn a bit more about Redwood from her - the separation/autumnal? - before being led to small hamlet on shore of lake
Meet village guard at booth named brexton, he's shocked to see a living being, goes into town to see what to do about Carl
Walk around village, startle locals until meeting The Elder - Talas
Hamlet is filled with Satyrs, most living in small homes, Elder lives in one of two massive red trees in town
Spend couple of days in town learning about the people and town, have direwolves as friendly pets
One night hear scratching outside, look outside to see Lillan stuble into town and fall dead, throat ripped open by claws
Gremlin bastards return, forest turns cold, fish's bioluminescence in lake disappers, try to rally Satyrs to island in lake
Try distracting one bastard with a roll from the orcs, kill him
Elder joins battle with fire while satyrs scramble to boats, direwolves turn angry and rip woman in half
Elder goes off and annihilates little bastards while carl jumps to boat and they reach the nearest island
Return to land in morning, find Elder's corpse among blood red flowers, investigation showing that Lillan and little bastards were fae creatures
Hamlet left to recollect itself in wake of most violent event it had ever seen
Telena
Telena is the half-orc owner and barmaid of the Crescent City Inn & Tavern. Extremely kind and helpful, Telena is in her mid-30's and has been running the Inn for nearly a decade.
Dolores
Dolores is the orcish cook of the Crescent City Inn & Tavern, and is mother to Telena. Extremely old for an orc at 46, Dolores has cavorted all over Dendralis and beyond with a near constant cadre of men pursuing her in her younger years.
Lillan
Lillan is a giant fae creature, standing around 6'4". She has served as the guardian of the Redwood for over 130 years, and has become intricately tuned to the forest, being able to communicate with it directly.
Brexton
Brexton is the lone guard for the hamlet of Evermorn. With a strong heart, Brexton is extremely green in combat for a man placed in the role of a guard.
Talas - The Elder
The Elder is the leader of Evermorn. He is an extremely learned and incredibly strong druid.
Sammie's Original Prep Notes:
Begin in Crescent City
Heard of an odd town north east of here in the Redwood that has odd creatures known as satyrs
(Travels North Along the Way though its spring green harsh shift to autumnal leaves)
Has some rather odd patterns in the forest where he travels
(think kokiri forest difficulties)
See a small creature off in the distance skittering along (dc 15 investigation/survival)
(weird hooves and such)
Improv random rooms with odd hermit liked mask creatures
Cr 2 crazy people?
Follows the path to wherever?
Everyone is apprehensive to you as you are odd
Meets with Elder
(As curious about you as you are of them but they are apprehensive)
A few of them invade from the island and need to help defend the town
*Impromptu combat*
More difficult guys then before with some Weird DCs
Blame you for them finding their town and banish you into one of the portals of the island
Satyrs
Wooden Masks
Carl
