A great series. Espicailly the valliant mouse in Prince Caspian, or maybe it was Voyage of the Dawn Treader: does anyone remeber the mouses name by any chance?In my campaign, I will be using an upcoming 'scence' in the land of the Faerie.  The Dryad Faerie Queen (sorcerer), seeks fruit form the tree of knowledge.  You can only pluck one fruit in your mortal span though, or you will find the disfavor of the Night Lord(let's just say that woudl be bad).  The Queen having plucked a fruit, desires another.In the character's favor, some of the juice from the Tree of knowledge, can be used to break a spell of true love, from an NPC one of the party memebers is...um...involved with.Ahhh...anyway...what the characters DON'T know, is that the tree of knowledge has a side effect of waking up ( per the AWKENING spell) animals.  I have three planned encounters so far.1. A disgruntleed rabbit, that also wan't a fruit from the tree of knowledge.  He will try and bluff the characters and tell then that there is no Night Lord - the Queen is just afraid to challenge the guardians (which is fasle).2. A wise monkey, who smokes a pipe, and is filled with stories about past adventurures, and about the nature of the tree of knowledge, how it's fruit is bitter sweet - for knowledge without understanding is a curse rather than a blessing (yeah, I'm big into morals in this chapter - whaddaya expect, I have a CG cleric PC, and a LN cleric PC: both continually spouting herretical nonsense)3. A powerful ranger (L6?) in a very unimposing body (Dove?).  This NPC will be on the lookout for abuses to the forest (wanton killing of animals, excess burning, that type of thing)  It is the dove (sized up to small rather than tiny) who will  let them know about some of the not so nice areas of the Faerie wood.  Specifially those flying monkeys with silver DR from MM2, and a 1/2 orc witch, with a witch-wood sword (casts BESTOW CURSE on a critical hit, up to 3x a day)Neat huh? (or should this go into plots and places...) [hijack]feedback welcome[/hijack]</blockquote>
