The Elden Wood

K,

We decided to look for adventure and discovered that people had gone missing. After speaking with the watch, we investigated the house of the most recent victim. The neighbor said her husband heard suitors at the house when the victim went missing. At the temple (Karametra) where the victim worked, the priestess, Thea, told us that the victim worked as a gardener and had nightmares recently. The priestess referred us to a philosopher named Anaxomander who had information of the Nightmare Shepherd.

The next day, we headed east to the Elden Wood through the surrounding hills. By the end of the morning, we made it to the oppressiveness of the Elden Wood. We soon encountered two harpies feasting on a wolf carcass. They fled from us.

We eventually reached the far edge of the woods and made camp. That night we met a group of bandits led by Xanthos of Krimnos. Only one of them escaped. We found a note on Xanthos indicating a reward for any captured magic users. I suspect this is the source of the disappearances. Hopefully you have stayed clear of this threat! I could not stand the irony of you falling to such disreputable folk!

On the way back we encountered a band of tritons. Their leader, Zephyros, was rude and challenged me. While I’m sure he regretted it, I hope they learned that not all humans are dishonorable like those from Krimnos.
