• The party approaches and sees a dwarf singing in dwarfish while tending a large green garden of cacti, and there is sign over the door that says "The Cacti Druid". The party is unsure, but the druid, who calls himself Sunmeadow, in a large straw hat, and welcomes the visitors to sit and visit with him and his garden.
