The Opening

“The air in Oakhaven is thick with the scent of stagnant water and the muffled groans of the afflicted. Mayor Vane clutches a hand raw from unexplainable blisters, pleading for someone to venture into the Whispering Deep and end the source of this torment. She points toward the emerald wall of the forest, where the light seems to die before reaching the ground.”

— Hook · investigation

Set the Scene

The party arrives in Oakhaven to find half the population shivering in their beds, complaining of 'phantom knives' in their joints. Mayor Elara Vane explains that the agony comes in waves, synchronized with a low thrumming sound from the forest deeps.

Stakes

If the parasite isn't removed, the Treant will die and explode in a wave of psychic energy that could permanently lobotomize every living soul in Oakhaven.

Ticking Clock·Every six hours, the party must succeed on a DC 13 Wisdom saving throw or take 1d6 psychic damage and gain one level of exhaustion as the agony intensifies.

Background Lore

Oakhaven sits near an ancient grove once tended by the Wardens of the Root. Recently, a parasitic entity from the Far Realm, a Void Larva, crashed into the woods and burrowed into the Elder Treant.

What the World Knows

A rogue spellcaster or a vengeful hag in the forest is casting powerful banes and curses on the innocent villagers of Oakhaven for an unknown slight.
