Small Fire elemental (CR1) - Endure elements (fire) will completely eliminate all fire damage it is capable of inflicting, and lasts 24 hours.2. Medium-size Zombie (CR 1/2) - A zombie is slow (partial actions only), so the druid can adopt the strategy of staying out of reach and launching missile attacks against it.3. Abyssal Dire Rat (CR 1/2) - This is a straight fight, but one which a druid can probably win, especially if he has good animal companion.You can also play to the druid's specialties by giving him a number of animal encounters.  For example, he could meet an ornery bear, a nest of vipers and a pack of wolves so that he can use Animal Empathy, calm animals and invisibility to animals.  You could also do the classic "wounded animal that needs help" scenario.Roleplaying encounters could include a ranger that could help the druid locate one of the creatures he needs to clean up, a dryad who tries to entice him from his job and a child from a nearby human settlement who is lost in the woods.Have fun!</blockquote>
