Whispering Root Cache

The party discovers a hidden cache beneath the roots of an ancient tree, partly protected by hanging moss and naturally concealed by the undergrowth. The stash looks like it belonged to a cautious traveler or forest ward, with practical supplies kept dry in waxed wrappings and a few valuables tucked away for later retrieval. The finds are useful rather than extravagant, fitting a low-level expedition through dangerous woods, with one silvered weapon hinting that the owner expected more than ordinary beasts in these parts.
