From the introduction:
It’s been a fairly quiet journey thus far and you look forward to passing through the Emerald Forest on the final leg of your trek to the trading town of Shady Glade. You’ve heard rumors that the village economy is booming and hope to purchase some inexpensive supplies. As you enter into the Emerald Forest, a wood known for its timeless beauty and ageless majesty, you realize that many of the plants look withered and bare. Rocks and rubble adorn the path and shrill winds whistle through the trees. You are caught by surprise when a beautiful maiden with stark green hair and wide eyes frantically rushes at you from the brush. You recognize her instantly as a dryad.
“Please,” she pleads with you, “You have to help us! Our protector has been missing for weeks and now the forest is becoming corrupted. Soon all the natural creatures in the forest will perish. Please help!”
