Day 10
After the grizzly encounter with the owlbears the party decides it is best to head for the safety of the road. The journey to find the road has them come across a small party of Orc Druids searching for the trespassers that have been terrorizing the forest creatures and felling their mighty trees. The choice the companions are faced with are…
1. Lie to the druids. Tell them you seen some ragged mercenary scum slaughtering a family of owl bears to the North but you all managed avoided them. Insist that if they hurry they still might catch up with them. If so the druids give you directions to the road and head north to find these poachers. Skip Day 11. OR
2. Tell the druids the truth; that you have been you have been continually assaulted since the group entered this cursed forest. You only killed in defence of yourselves. That you also have noticed some forestry activity but haven’t harmed a sapling. If so the druid don’t trust you and attack outright and call animals of the wild to their aid.

1. Save the dwarves from the orcs to gain a pair of dwarven defender allies and make enemies of the Many Arrow Orcs OR
