Ahead is a simple forest path leading deeper in. In this clearing ahead sits one massive tree in the center, tall and with a decidedly human face on the trunk. It looks to be asleep, snoring softly.

There's a passage to the northeast, shrouded in deeper mists.

There's two passages to the west, also misty. The bottom of the two sees the mist become thinner, almost clearing.

<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Iron Dragoon

Would you mind putting a red dot or something in the room I'm currently in on the next update? Just makes it a little easier for me.

Alyssa nudges Ianvasah and motions to the tree.

"Let's go talk with the forest, shall we?"
This is not the greatest post in the world, no... this is just a tribute.

Anastasia

Sure.

"It should be easy, it looks intelligent," Ianvasah says, "Far easier to talk to a treant than a tree."

The tree snoozes away, snoring as you approach. No reaction to your approach from it.

Alyssa nudges Ianvasah forward.

Ianvasah steps forward, clears her throat and calls, "WAKE UP!" in Sylan.

Emily gasps at that and Jarem breaks out into a grin.

The tree snores loudly, blinks and yawns. "Oh, who wakes me up? It's such a sleepy morning to be woken up!"

Alyssa chuckles quietly.

"I am Alyssa Songsteel. This is Ianvasah, Jarem, and Emily. We're here visiting the library and trying to find Queen Morwel. It's a pleasure to meet you, though I apologize for having to wake you."

Another yawn, this one making the tree's branches rattle and a few birds flee abruptly.

"Visiting the library? Mmm, is the Queen reading here?" The tree asks, "Oh yes, I'm Professor Roundbottom."

"We're not sure where she is. We're searching for her, but I'm also very interested in the library here. We just came through the introductory instructional texts section, I believe."

Anastasia

"Yes, yes, the introductory texts," Professor Roundbottom says, "A fine if traditional curriculum to study. Tell me, what areas are you looking to specialize in?"

"I'm interested in just about everything. I'm quite advanced in arcane knowledge, however. Blacksmithing and adventuring as well. I am interested in one particular story, however. While coming here, we came across a grave; I was wondering if there were any stories about it."

Alyssa pulls out her journal and shows it to the tree.

Paste me the info from it?

The following is written in Sylvan: He who rests shall rest well, for those beneath the earth are free. Rest well, my hero.

"Ah, the nameless hero, the champion of two worlds," Professor Roundbottom says, then yawns again. "Quite the story, I tell you."
