*"Whispers of the Woods" - Varrick Songweave*

```
[Verse 1]

A town lay bare ‘neath the Long Road’s bend,
Two hundred souls to the woods did send,
Tracks in the mud, both small and wide,
Led into Westwood where shadows hide.
A rugged human rogue tracked the trail’s grim start,
Miners paid gold, their fears did impart,
This chapter’s quest through the night’s cold sting,
Chased whispers of doom on a dark wind’s wing.  

[Chorus]

Strum the lute, let whispers sigh,
The forest hides a dragon’s eye,
Stars above where dangers creep,
Whispers of the Woods run deep!  

[Verse 2]

Through Rassalantar’s husk, they sought their prize,
A young female tabaxi with starry skies,
Looted a temple, gold from the divine,
While a stout dwarf cleric prayed for a sign.
A tall Githyanki artificer, gears in tow,
Joined the rogue in a store’s dim glow,
Five hundred coins, then two hundred more,
Yet no clue whispered what fate had in store.  

[Chorus]

Strum the lute, let whispers sigh,
The forest hides a dragon’s eye,
Stars above where dangers creep,
Whispers of the Woods run deep!  

[Verse 3]

At camp ‘neath stars, a fire’s warm light,
Three voices stirred in the cold midnight,
A merchant’s wares drained their gold to none,
Boots and gloves for the trials begun.
Into Kryptgarden, misty and green,
A corpse with no brain, a Flayer’s scene,
A stout dwarf cleric stood, his faith held fast,
While shadows of illithids loomed from the past. 

[Bridge]

A shrine to Corellon, its face long gone,
The Githyanki’s craft pleased the elven dawn,
A blue gleam shone where the bushes part,
A Moon-Touched blade, a gift from art.
Cow bones gnawed by a dragon’s maw,
A green witch stirs, the forest in awe,
The tabaxi dreamed of a dragon’s deal,
While stars above turned a cosmic wheel. 

[Outro]

So raise the lute for the path ahead,
Where illithids lurk and a dragon’s dread,
The witch’s lair or a Flayer’s den,
This chapter hums till we clash again.  
```

</details>## 🪐 Campaign Arc

**Campaign:** Spelljammer – Homebrew Hybrid  
**Session Title:** *Whispers of the Woods*  
**Dungeon Master:** James/Jamie (*Sicareus*)  
**Setting:** Long Road, Westwood, and deep into Kryptgarden Forest.

---

## 🧭 Overview

After confronting a Mind Flayer in Session 2, the party returned to Rassalantar to regroup—only to discover the entire town had mysteriously vanished into the Westwood. Investigating tracks led them to looted buildings, a merchant encounter, and eventually into the misty, dragon-touched depths of Kryptgarden Forest. Along the way, they discovered signs of Mind Flayer activity, hints of Corellon’s influence, and evidence that an ancient green dragon—referred to in legend as the “Green Witch”—inhabits the woods.
