The scouts come forward.How may we help you? We will tell you what we know of the surrounding area and answer what questions you have.
Outside of our home, the trees continue for a days walk to the north, it then becomes mountainous and rock strewn. bweare travelling in the day. The devils frequently patrol that area - they seem anxious to keep people away. To the east the forest dies away quickly, opening onto plantations. Slaves work there and the overseers are quick to challenge any coming through. You have come from the South. To the west for three days travel the forest continues- some unnamed fear stalks the animals, they run and attack when cornered, even those of us trained in the ways of natre cannot calm them. After three days travel, the forest gives way to ground tainted and corrupted. The very earth grabs at you and trips you, we have gone three days travel into this waste- six went, one came back. The others are dead, or worse.
They stop speaking and wait for your questions.

Into the room comes one of the lost. She is wearing a white shift and gold headband. She is also carrying a bag filled with herbs and vials.
So who needed me? She looks around, and then sees Racid. Oh! It must be you, well, can i examine you or are you going to attack me? Please let it not be that far!

The earth is in pain. You can see where the taint is slowly soaking into the ground. The very earth changing colour to the red of its fiendish corruption.
Leave it Faye. We cannot cure all the earth help the grove to stave off the rising tide.
Such was the advice of Lirea, one of the few elves in the outside world and one of the masters of the grove. But others also feel the earth's pain. others aso see the corruption, and not all are as pessimistic as the elves.
Go find the source of this corruption. You noticed it and the omens point to you being the one to stop this particular stream of corruption. We will await your return with hope.
Such was the command of Giriani, the spokesman of many of the Masters of the grove. And so you find yourself outside the safety of the grove, entering into a new part of the forest, trying to find the source of corruption.

The tribe had been moving. Like others in the group you had grown in wisdom and knowledge. Helping to lead the group in prayer under the tutelage on Misearand, head cleric of the Church of the Void fulfilled (DM fiat here- all members of ths faction have at least three levels of wizard before being allowed to assume the title of Priest), while trying to grow the knowledge of magic.
But a nomadic lifestyle is not an easy one, and three days before the tribe had been attacked by a fiendish group. In the chaos you have been separated. Alone in a part of the forest you do not know. Your head is pounding, but their appears to be no one around. At least for the moment you appear safe, but since you were not in the forest before being separated, the question has to be, where am I and how did I get here? Followed closely by, and how do I get out of here?
