With the dragons dispatched we continue outside into a humid hellscape seemingly created by the druids in some perversion against the mountains themselves we continue with our reduced group of dwarves but with a new companion in "Zhudikhal the Serene" the djinni freed from the orb. With a brief story of his imprisonment due to some rune mage on the plane of air [I missed a name here]. Zhudikhal conjures up some shovels and the others set to burying Broldrig who unfortunately fell in battle.
We enter the druids grove somewhat accidentally due to poor signage on their part... This seems to anger Ablad-Arradion the "great druid of astrakain" but he softens up at the mention of Kelemor. Apparently he'd appreciate some favour(s) from us in exchange for a map we are presented with a choice between:
1 - southeast of here blood red trees and pale orange grass the scarlet savana ruled by man named Scarlet Shiek yuan-ti abomination killing wildlife and blighting the lands
2 - some initiates and one of the 9 druids has gone missing in the swamps west of here
There was mention of if we complete both tasks perhaps additional assistance could be provided.
