He would cast it on his victims and he would be immune to the effects, and pick them clean while they slept. If he is killed, captured or chased away the party was given a small reward-complements of the caravan master who has been having this problem for a few months now. And couldnt figure out why no witnesses. +players get the ring if they kill or capture the elf. (in our campaign our rogue stole it off of him after we tied him up.#2) After reaching the city, they are to travel into the north facing cliffs find a large pool with man eating plants, a form of low hit di tangle weed..at its shore, easily avoided (for now). With a few clues the players will learn, this is a old dead Druids lands from many years past...only thing left is his psycho shrubbery. There is a small island in the middle of this smallish lake with 1 tree on it. About 75' out in any direction. Let the players think and be inventive., you can even act surprised if they come up with something unpredictable...it doesnt matter what they do in the end they're all screwed!!!#3) the players are to pick the blooms from the bushes that have over grown all over the tree and bag them. This tree is a mean old Treant, moves very slow (tangled in the bushes, and cant see that well over grown with bushes & he lacks the ability to cause good damage but will pick up and drop players back in the water. Players should be able to dodge tree with moderate rolling. But must climb it to get to the blooms.#4) All the comotion from the players being dunked and thrown into the water has awakened a 15' reptile, which is heard giving a moaning sound, tell the players looks like a crocodile! it slips into the water unseen......here starts the chaos!!!THE PLAYERS WILL BE ABSOLUTELY PARANOID ABOUT GOING BACK INTO THE now dark and mirky water, it was clear but because of the tree throwing them its all stirred up cant see 2' deep. BUT THEY CANT REALLY STAY ON THE ISLAND BECAUSE THE TREANT KEEPS THROWING THEM BACK INTO THE WATER....IF YOU WANT TO SEE A PARTY COME UNGLUED THIS WILL DO IT...OUR RANGER WAS TRYING TO FASTEN A LINE TO HIS x BOW AND HIT A TREE near the shore SO THEY CAN SHIMMY ACROSS, MAKE THEM ROLL A LOT.. DROP EM IN THE WATER...watch em squirm.....THIS HAD MY PARTY SCREAMING.......A LOT OF FUN.....OH AND BY THE WAY THE CROC IS AN OLD ILLUSION CREATED FOR THE DRUIDS LAKE TO KEEP PEOPLE AWAY.....and when they get to the shore the croc will be seen closing in...this should scare them right into the tangleweeds..........put pinky to corner of mouth, enter "EVIL" Dr. DM laugh...muuaa ha aha muua aua aua!!!Sit ThornCrest</blockquote>
