Her older brother, Jory, sought revenge and to save his sister. He delved into darker powers and stole his father Shield Guardian, Unfortunately, Jory met his end to the traps laid by Beatrice. However, the Shield Guardian found Fay and took her from Beatrice. Without any other orders from its dead master, it awaits in the swamp and protects Fay. ‘Summary The adventurers encounter Beatrice in disguise, she begs the party to find her daughter in the dangerous forest. The adventurers can track the Shield Guardian to the Pixie Hive and find an unconscious Fay. There they will also find the corpse of her brother and can make their decision there. Introduction While travelling, the adventurers find Beatrice, disguised. She appears as a crying human woman. The woman is in rags and looks to be in her mid thirties, Upon seeing the adventurers she begs them for help, claiming her daughter is lost in the dangerous forest and likely dead. She only wants what they can find, and if she’s alive she will be eternally grateful. Beatrice knows she is no match for the Shield Guardian which is why she sends the adventurers. A successful insight check of 20 will reveal some sort of deceit behind her words and behaviour, but she does seem in true distress over this young girl. Beatrice also possesses a special ring that shields against spells that would attempt to discover her true form. Only a detect magic spell will reveal the ring under abjuration, ‘The adventurers ean track large heavy footprints, with a successful survival check of 8, The Pixie Hive The tracks lead fifteen minutes into the forest and to a lange gnarled tree. This tree is covered in a sticky resin that Beatrice concocted. The resin attracts pixies and sprites, and the corpses of pixies cover this tree. If any creature touches the tree, they must succeed a DC 14 Constitution save or take 4d10 poison damage. When necessary, Beatrice will come by and pick some of their corpses for alchemical concoctions with special gloves. Near the tree is the body of Jory, Fay’s brother, He touched the tree in hopes to question one of the pixies and died. Also near the tree is his eld Guardian who carries an unconscious Fay in its hand, Due to holding Fay, the Shield. guardian cannot perform its multiattack action, On the body of Jory is his Master's Amulet that controls the Shield Guardian, and a letter he received from his family that reads ‘Jory, please come back to Arlinton. Fay is gone and there's nothing we can do about her. That awful woman took her from us and we don't want to lose you too. Return your father's Guardian and stay alive. Please. Mom and Dad” Conclusions The party can control the shield guardian by taking the amulet and note to discover Fay’s true parents. They may kill Beatrice once taking Fay, who won't put up a fight and will take every chance to run away. They could also destroy the shield guardian and take Fay back to Beatrice. If Fay is awoken by the party, she will recognize Jory as her brother and be very reluctant to return to Beatrice claiming she isn't her mother. Beatrice will cast a Charm person spell to force Fay to come with her in this scenario.Druid Circle Circle of the Occult Druids of the Occult have delved into the strange as pects af the world and have learned rites and rituals to contact trickster nature spirits.
