4. DRUID'S WATCH

When Reidoth visitsThundertree, this is where

he makescamp.

This small house appears to be in bettercondition than the

ruined and dilapidated structures nearby. The doors are

reinforced with heavyiron bands, andthick shutters protect

the windows.

Reidoth is a gaunt,white-bearded human whodoesn't use

twowords whenonewordwilldo. Thoughhe receives

veryfewvisitors, he is reasonablyhospitable.

Reidoth is adeptat stayingawayfromthe ashzombies

thatoverrun the village,as wellas avoiding the area's

mutated plants. He knowsthatdangerous spiders lurk

in the ruinsat the baseof the hill,andhe suspectsthat

someone is hiding out on the easternsideof town-he's

seen "folkin blackmasks andcloaks" (thecultists)

skulking around. However,he is currentlymost concerned

by the factthata green dragon hasmovedintothe tower

(area 7) sincethe lasttime he washere.He warnsthe

characters of all thesethreats, andsuggests thatthey

leaveThundertree before theyget themselveskilled.
