Strahd's "The lost Caverns of Tsojcanth" CLOSED

[Thanee]

Allyra

Allyra gets back up, after having been knocked to the ground and removes the now unmoving plants from around her ankles. After straightening her clothes, she looks over towards the strange forest woman, nodding towards her in a greeting.

“Thank you! I'm afraid, our fiery spells, who were the only viable means to defeat those nasty trolls, lacked a bit of accuracy there. Sorry! Glad you could set that straight.”

The forest maiden

Allyra gets back up, after having been knocked to the ground and removes the now unmoving plants from around her ankles. After straightening her clothes, she looks over towards the strange forest woman, nodding towards her in a greeting.

“Thank you! I'm afraid, our fiery spells, who were the only viable means to defeat those nasty trolls, lacked a bit of accuracy there. Sorry! Glad you could set that straight.”

It is hard to be honest, Sorcerer, and I respect you for your honesty.
The druid winks and smiles.
I owe you for destroying those giants and now I saved you back from the licking flames and the bestowing curse that he cast on the woods.
She points to the dead burned corpses of the Trolls.
All I want is the jar with the holy seed he tool from me, If you may …
She bow slightly and smiles to Garon and Keldar.
... Retrieve it for me, you can keep all the rest, I know they stashed it on the second floor of "Migdal Saiar".
She nods toward the ruined ranger's tower.

 

[Boddynock]

Eliyyad rolls over and struggles to his feet, puffing slightly. When he sees the forest maiden he gapes, then recovers and bows deeply.

"Lady, we thank you for your help. Truly I am sorry now for the loss of your trees. Fire is a beautiful thing but a terrible one. Please accept my apologies."

When she mentions the "holy seed" he is intrigued.

"This holy seed - what is it, Lady?"

"This holy seed - what is it, Lady?"

Once in a decade the holy "Etz Ha'daat" tree produce a single golden fruit, within grows the holy seed that will spring life to a new Treant – Herders of the forest.

What she told you is a known legend among Rangers and woodmen. The tale about the holy tree is well known, it is saying that several such trees were planted by Obad-Hai himself. The location of the trees are unknown but to the Powerful Gray circle – The circle of the twelve master druids of the Flannaes.

Those Trolls stole it from me without even know what they took.
The forest maiden says angrily.
I was in my way to claim what is mine, but you were a head of me.
Her voice softens again and she smiles.

Turo nods at the forest lady's words. "We'll do what we can to retrieve the seed from the tower. Do you know if that was all of the trolls?"

Turo nods at the forest lady's words. "We'll do what we can to retrieve the seed from the tower. Do you know if that was all of the trolls?"

Keldar nods in appreciation to the forest lady. "We shall help you, if it is within our power and ability".

OCC: does Keldar get a feeling that she's lying or hiding something? Sense Motive +7

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

The forest maiden

The forest maiden is mysteriously by nature, Keldar is unable to sense if the woman speaks truth or not, but she seems quite nice and attractive though.

The woman eyes Keldar and returns her gaze to Turo.
More Green Trolls, Not that I’m aware off.

 

[Rhun]

Turo shrugs and moves to make his way into the tower. Perhaps the trolls had some nice valuables among their belongings, in addition to this "holy seed."

Migdal Saiar - Ruined Ranger's tower

The ruined tower's upper story is totally crumbled but stands high above the tree tops, the second story is complete, but only darkness can be seen through the narrow slits that supposed to be windows, the first floor is partially ruined. The staircase is partially ruined as well and stands half the way up to the second story.

The staircase is partially ruined as well and stands half the way up to the second story.

As the companions walk towards the tower, and are out of earshot of the Druid maiden, Kendar shakes his head: "It doesn't make any sense to me. If the seed is so valuable to her, why is she trusting complete strangers to get it? Wouldn't it be simpler to get it herself? I don't like this." He then looks at the others: did any of you detect anything fishy about her?
