If the characters are successful in breaking the circle’s enchantment, the years of dark magic it has contained suddenly floods in upon the Nûk woman, and she falls to the ground, writhing in pain as evil energy visibly devours her. Sores and wounds open on her body as the energy engulfs her. If quick-thinking characters immediately begin casting healing spells to protect Elk-Running, they can protect her from the negative effects of the tree’s corruption if they give her the equivalent of 20 hp of healing within 3 rounds. Otherwise, at the end of the third round she is fully consumed by the long-denied dark forces of the tree, leaving only her equipment and empty clothing behind. Worse than even this fate, Elk-Running rises in 1d6 rounds as a groaning spirit and pursues the characters for vengeance until destroyed.Wight: These poor souls are the last wretches who died in the service of Thorvald’s ill-fated quest into the deep woods. The life-sapping energy of the Black Oak, combined with Ivar’s oath, have bent them to the service of the evil power whose temple lies at the farthest height of the tree. Thorvald the Betrayed, Blood Wight: When Ivar betrayed and murdered his friend and mentor in the name of dark powers, he cut the hero’s throat and drained his blood into the pool at the roots of the Black Oak. From this morass of blood and vile mud, Thorvald’s spirit rose again as a vengeful blood wight.</blockquote>
