Rewards:
XP: Combat: L4 Brute 175 + L2 Lurker x2 250 + L1 Minion Skirmisher x7 175 = 600 XP. Minor Quest (Toriq) completed 50 XP/PC. 600 + 200 = 800/4 PCs = 200 XP per PC.
Treasure: 2 Potions of Healing and wooden crown intricately carved with woodland scenery (worth 100 gp) (Parcel 1.5)
Write a new Quest, Minor or Major, for Toriq. If any other Quests seem to have emerged from events thus far, go ahead and write those, too.
Take a Short Rest. In your followup post, please make note of Surges spent, current HPs/APs.
Okay, you've discovered that what has been besetting the Dryad, Dryope, is not only the incursion of loggers but an attack from foul enemies, an undead abomination (serving some dark master) and its legion of malevolent plant-creatures. But you've rescued her from that threat, and Dryope is safe ... at least for the moment.
Write a post in which you describe her gift of the above reward to you (water from her brook, ensorcelled by her native powers; and her own handiwork, respectively) and the reunion between her and Toriq. (Keep it clean; there might be kids reading!
) Then segue to what comes next. Will you seek out the source of this foul incursion into The Chestnut Grove? Will Jendi prevail in convincing the others that fair is fair: it's time to investigate The Sunken Vault? Are these two somehow connected?
Or will you decide to return to Ravenswood, to follow up on the drama with Elena and her forced marriage? Or something else? At the very least, whatever you do, you will need to spend one night in the woods, for Dryope's Grove is too far to return to Juniper House or the town before nightfall. Unless, of course, you're willing to brave the forest--and its dangers--at night.
