Contextual Narrative
The Viridian Sepulcher of the Strangling Vine
Light does not descend here; it is exhaled by the bioluminescent mold clinging to the rib-like roots of the Great Weeping Tree. The air is heavy, tasting of damp loam and the cloying sweetness of rot. Every step crunches not on stone, but on the calcified remains of explorers who mistook the silence of the woods for peace. Here, the boundary between masonry and mulch has vanished, replaced by hallways of petrified bark and doors of woven briar. The deeper one descends, the more the silence is broken by a rhythmic, wet thumping—the heartbeat of the forest floor itself. Gravity seems to warp as roots coil around ancient stonework, crushing the memories of a forgotten civilization into the nutrient-rich soil. This is not a tomb for the dead, but a pantry for a hungry earth that has waited centuries for fresh meat.
Arch-Druid Elaris, recorded on a mold-caked stone
“The forest does not end at the soil; it simply grows inward where the meat is tender.”
Dungeon

Quest Objectives
Recover the 'Heart of the Glade,' a glowing amber gem pulsing with life, from the central Altar of Thorns.
The local forest begins to purify, and the party is granted a permanent +1 bonus to Nature checks.
The corruption reaches the surface, turning the surrounding three miles into an impenetrable, necrotic briar-patch.
Free the trapped Dryad spirit, Silvhara, who is being used as a biological battery for the dungeon's traps.
The dungeon's plant-based traps become inactive for 24 hours.
Silvhara is fully corrupted, transforming into a monster that pursues the party until they leave the dungeon.
