Stopped Cyric's Curse on the Emory Wood which is connected to the Grandfather tree/Cora finds the Sling of Dire Wind (Kythorn 26th-27th,1458)

Disaster / Destruction

21

Cora that Emory Woods, an elder forest connected to the great tree spirit, is sick and there is a darkness spreading. She requests Cora's help in finding the cause and stopping it. The party agrees to help and takes the Legendary Valor to the forest. On the way, they encounter some mishaps, including Valna's inexperience causing a sick passenger to vomit on a farmer. Upon arrival, they notice sickly animals fleeing the woods and a swirl of dark clouds above. They land the ship and meet Evelyn, the last druid of the Emory tree, who explains that the woods are cursed and dying. Evelyn asks the party to join her to find an ancient treant named Silvebark who may know how to lift the curse.
  Evelyn takes the party to the Emory Woods' heart where they meet a group of sickly treants. All attempts to help them fail until they turn to Cora and say that the Grandfather Tree speaks of her and how she will help. Nyx asks Evelyn if there is anyone who can assist the party once they arrive in Silverbark’s Forest, and Evelyn tells her about her friend Frick. The party encounters a dangerous tree and fights it, and after they win, they camp for the night. They meet Frick the next day, who tells them that Silverbark has been asleep for 150 years and will be grumpy when they wake him up. The party finds mistletoe and sets off to meet Silverbark. During their journey, Sneatcha encounters two pixies who bless him with the gift of invisibility in exchange for some pine cones.
  The party arrives at Silverbark's Grove and meets with Silverbark who tells Cora the only way to remove the curse from the forest is to cleanse it of evil and plant a rare Silver Pine tree. Frick's friends help Cora and Sneatcha find the Silver Pine cone, while Nyx, Valna, and Galrik fight and kill the evil creature and its shadows, and later a dark naga who was seeking a gemstone. The party regroups in the grove, and with Cora's help, the ritual to cleanse the woods is completed, and life returns to the forest. The spirits of the trees reward Cora with the Sling of Dire Wind, and Sneatcha invites Jixie and Prite to join him on his travels.
