Dryad of the Old Tree

From West Of Vipers Gate

The Dryad of the Old Tree is an encounter in Minev's Forest. An ancient oak tree sits in the middle of a large clearing. When you enter, a dryad steps out of the tree, taking a form reminiscent of your own, and watches you warily. She will not stop you from continuing on your way. If you try to communicate with her, she responds in a sophisticated sign language (a true language, not just vague gesturing). Failure in communication will put her on guard, prepared to defend herself and the tree. She is considered a Strength 5 Wood spirit and defends herself by launching sharp leaves from the tree.
