The Withered Grove Trials

This encounter set thrusts adventurers into a once-holy grove, now warped by corruption. They must face savage guardians, solve rune-based purification puzzles, and earn trust from wary druids who may see them as saviors or intruders. With branching outcomes and flexible scaling, the grove can serve as a tense battle site, a moral test, or both, making it a dynamic resource for Game Masters.
