Tinus the baby Treant is your ally in the Crooked Forest. You may get help from the trees.Magic Potion of healing, potion of climbing,Note everyone gets a Potion of Poison resistance+1 short sword unlocked.The APL level changes almost with each story. I had Mara a Paladin, Nedeni Halfling rogue, Glint Stoneskull war cleric and new to AL player, Sariel a ranger, Zeal paladin sorcerer, and Ben Tennyson Druid. The group arrives in Phandalin to find the rooms in the Come Butte Inn are tripled book. They are sleeping three to the bed and no one admits to snoring.  The town is overrun with tourists going sightseeing and following Volo’s advice in Volo’s Guide to Monsters. Which is causing a lot of trouble.The first morning the group is shaken out their beds due to wedding prep going on.  The group is grumpy and are not prepared (or the dm was not prepared) for the action. But the group is able to win the dance off they crash during the wedding celebration. Lyta Rollings hire the group to find Lord Merryweather who has been missing for three days.   They follow the advice of Lyta and head into the Crooked Forest. As Zeal is calling out very loud for Lord Merryweather, he hears a cry for help. Little Tinus Treant is being attacked by Needle and Twig Blights. After his rescue Tinus promises to be bud buddy with the group. He directs them to goblin cave where Merryweather is arguing what seasoning and at what temperature he should be cooked at. The party makes short work of the goblins.  Merryweather is not please it took three days for the hire help to come to his aid. The next morning Sildar Hallwinter a town council member has a problem the group can solve. His teenage daughter Alana and four boyfriends when to beach yesterday and have not return.  The beach is in the Crooked Forest.  Alana generally raids the butterfly sanctuary for flowers on the way to the beach and loves having ribbons in her hair. The butterfly sanctuary turns up no clue to Alana whereabouts but on leaving Nedeni finds a ribbon. A few dozen yards another ribbon is found. The group finds nine ribbons.  After two hours of searching Ben Tennyson spies the tenth ribbon twenty or so feet up a tree. As he gets up the tree he notices a small platform in the tree. He is startled when an arrow nearly misses him.  The group has wandered into a Gnoll tree house complex.  Alana and her friends start to scream for help. Most of the rest of the group start to try the tree. Ok, the combat went south for the group. I zeroed out a few pcs. The trees were telling the group to jump off the trees and run away. But the pcs didn’t. Alana and her boyfriends escaped on their own.  The town council member took pity on the group and gave them a magic sword. The next afternoon Harbin Webster needs the group. His wife Delsy and two kids Milack and Ephenia have wandered into the woods following Volo’s guide. He needs them returned. (Yes I did butcher the plot hook).  He has told Sariel about Delsy special boots which leave a distinct print. The group follows the shoe prints into the woods.The group finds the sanctuary only to be attack by evil butterflies who demand the group answer a riddle before the butterflies will talk about x. Zeal answers the riddle correctly and get a white stone as a reward. And an additional poem. They continue following the trail until they are attacked by a two head death dog which has the kids faces. Killing the dog releases the kids.  Once the kids are release Zeal demands the group take the kids home immediately. (No one has ever done this. Due to the great roleplaying discussion, the group broke me. And know how long the next encounter takes.  I just called the game there).</blockquote>
