- The heroes travel to the Bonewood Forest, one of the ‘sites of Tharizdun‘ as described in The Lays of Bar Strannach.
- All the trees are ossified into white, calcified bone
- Wandering through the forest, the heroes feel that they are closing in on them
- They come across a horrible undead, fossilized treant
- The tree is causing all of the corruption in the forest and animates to destroy the heroes
- After the fight, Tempus remains horribly drained of his stamina and constitution and can tell already that this effect would not even be eased by the gift of Heirophylia
- J’afrock shatters the dark swirling globe in the trees’ cavity, releasing more of Tharizdun‘s horrible essence
- Many of the threes rever back to their normal forms, no longer ossified into bone
- Spirits and screams can be heard deeper into the forest as the shadows released find more victims
