He has recently been exploring a patch of ancient forest on his own, and has encountered and fallen in love with a dryad (classic, i know).- The party has defered this mission in favour of chasing down a suspected band of undead.- The party finally returned to the mission. They tracked the nephew to a section of forest that had been subjected to massive taint. The few trees and plants that had survived had become mobile and carnivorous. The animal life had been reduced to a writhing pit of tentacular horrors. The dryad herself was tainted, using her powers to drain the life out of her 'willing' victims to sustain what was left of her grove. The players freed all her human slaves bar one, who was slain by the party paladin. They returned to civilization with but a few days till the wedding. Mission successful.~ Sidetrack 1: The party was approached by the priest of a small village they were passing through. His graveyard had been desecrated and the remains stolen. A rogue necromantic artifact has allowed an impoverished miner to exploit his silver mine to great effect.- Guessing the corpses were now undead, they inquired as to the existence of caves, etc. And proceeded to investigate the nearby mining settlement, but were unable to locate the undead. They then resolved to backtrack the undead, in the process alerting the local countryside to the undead presence.- They successfully tracked down the undead and the young dabbler in the necromantic arts who created them. They killed him, and destroyed his minions. They found his powers to have been granted by an artifact, which was taken to the HQ of The Order of Azure Flame for study and destruction.</blockquote>
