The Forest 

Roots deeper than soil, farther than sea
No passage is swift, no figments believed 

Travel

• The forest knows what happens anywhere else in the forest.
• All forests are connected.
• Some of the most dangerous and feared individuals end up imprisoned or entombed here.

The Fearmonger in Wood
STR 17, DEX 16, CHA 12, 3hp
Encased in rune-carved wood (A2 against metal)
Crushing grasp (d10) or cloud of spores (everyone in blast loses their speech until they leave the forest) 

• Wants to cultivate a healthy fear of the forest and have word spread beyond.
• Takes any form they wish with elements of deer, owl, boar, and mouse.
• Can call upon woodland creatures for aid and hurry along the seasons, but is outranked by the old trees.
