Summary
Spoiler:
A small group of young druids lead by Malorak Leafwind and Hercynian Dreamseer ventured into the Twilight Grove portal to commune with the natural spirits. Roux Blackwood's curiosity quickly found an old tree with a dark nook. The others followed, communed...and found a spirit. An ancient and angry worgen that fled out through the portal and into Duskwood. A report has been sent to Raven Hill and Darkshire by a sentinel of the Grove.
Some days later, the party left the Grove, out from under the critical and scrutinizing eyes of the sentinels and druids. They also assumed their quarry would not near the portal to his prison. Seeking to establish their own fortifications, they cleansed the ruined Solidarity Row of undead. Settling here, they plan their next move.
Some days passed, with worgen spies being noticed in the cliffs surrounding the reclaimed Row. Always on the edge of sight, always unable to be caught. Until the appearance of one unlucky feral. Tracking him, the party--Roux, Kantado, Pecival, Ninde, and Sophie--came upon a ruined fortress in Duskwood's deeper parts. The assumption that the ancient spirit they sought his here proved true. After messily infiltrating, the group confronted the spirit--discovering his remaining ephemeral ties to the Dream (rendering the need for banishment) and his plans in Duskwood (gathering the darkened natural spirits of the wood for his own use). After defiance from the party, he sent them on their way with an escort--a good number of his feral followers chasing at their heels.
A day or two later, the worgen spirit's forces made good on their plan to assault the Row and claim it as their own. The battle was long and bloody, the buildings suffering fire damage from the ferals' torches. Even so, the defenders came out victorious, resolution hardened despite the shadow-walking leader's attempt at mind-games. While recovering, they planned their next step; seeking what natural spirits remain in Elwynn's oaks to aid them.
Roux, accompanied by three night elf druids (Ninde, Kantado, and Hercynian) ventured to an old, mystical corner of Elwynn. There they were able to call a large spirit of the forests who promised to aid them if they brought him acorns that had been bathed in moonlight. Should the spirit plant them on the river's border between Elwynn and Duskwood, the mystic trees would offer Elwynn some protection from Duskwood's malevolence. Task given, the party ventured North where they met a younger spirit. Full of mischief and impish play, he only handed over the acorns when the party answered correctly a quartet of riddles. Prizes in hand (and hearts cheered) the party returned to the larger spirit, and he promised to aid them in the final confrontation.
The hunt is on...
Event One Cracked Dream
Taken into the Emerald Dream by Malorak Leafwind, a group of young and inexperienced druids mistakenly awake something within. The force flees into Duskwood.
Can the cadre find it before it roots itself in those dark woods?
Date/Time: 9/6 12:00pm ST
Event Two Digging In
With the escape of the ancient and feral worgen druid, the small band of druids has earned the ire of the authorities in Twilight Grove. Knowing the enemy won't approach his prison, and not wishing to draw bloodshed to the Grove, the small group seeks to establish and fortify themselves elsewhere.
The ruins of Solidarity Row look promising...
Date/Time: 9/20 Whenever people are on.
Event Three Mission: Possible, but Kinda Terrifying
Feral worgen spies have been noticed in the cliffs surrounding the newly cleansed and inhabited Row. Should one be tracked, perhaps they would lead the party to the ancient spirit they track? And perhaps the party could infiltrate and discover intentions?
Date/Time: 10/8, 9:00pm ST
Event Four Defend the Den
The ancient druid spirit is not pleased after the messy infiltration of his abode by the intrepid party. Working off an idea by one of his pack, he seeks to claim the Row for himself. With the adventurers gone, his own pack would work against Raven Hill, the citizens of Duskwood none the wiser. Can the Row be defended?
Date/Time: 10/11, 9:00pm ST
Event Five Today's Mighty Oak is Just Yesterday's Nut, That Held its Ground.
Armed with the knowledge of the worgen spirit's ephemeral nature, and his goals, the party will journey to Elwynn forest's depths to attempt to call on the aid of the natural forces there. Will the oaks answer?
Date/Time: 10/13, 9:00pm ST
Event Six Ain't Goin' to Grandma's House
With the aid of Elwynn's spirits, the party is ready to face and banish the ancient feral worgen back to the Dream. Will they succeed?
…Inb4 someone rolls a worgen named Fury dressed exactly like that one that escaped.
