With the party officially free from their persecution by the church of Ion, the group seeks out a new adventure that they might partake in. They are first offered an opportunity to make some new enemies by helping kill a group of druids and start a war. The group has a change of heart though and decides against it. Marcus finds out about an ancient item that the church of Koanatee is looking for. The item is an ancient stone of life, supposedly used to help create the planet and all its creatures.
The group heads out into the woods in search of destroyed elven city which it is rumored to be in. As soon as they enter the forest though, they are attacked by what seems to be the forest itself. after a long battle they defeat this force of nature and sticks and veins. It explodes upon death and showers the group with thorns. As they are all nursing their wounds, 50+ dryads come and attack. Apparently that creature the group killed was their sacred tree. They make quick work of the dryads
The group meets some wild elves. When the group heads back to their village, they all seems friendly enough. But something is strange as their are only women and children here. The group also thinks that they might have already found the stone of life that they searching for. But the one elf started chanting some strange words while holding the stone as if in a trance. Soon after, a strange demon like creature is seen swinging through the trees answering the call of the elf. It turns out to be 2 creatures and they immediately attack the group. when the combat is over and the creatures dead, they look around and realize the wild elves are gone as well as the stone.
