Into the Woods

What Do?
Something is damaging the mills and killed a bunch of workers. Find it and deal with it.

Where Go?
Go to the town of Fristin. It’s a logging town east of Gaoli. Follow the path east through the forest. Ten days by horse, a good two-three weeks on foot.

What Get?
This is the second preliminary quest to earn full status as adventurers.

Who Give To?
Mr Drittal, owner of Drittal Lumber, is the requester. Deal with the problem and report back to him with proof you've taken care of matters.

What Know?
There are seven mills around town. Mills 2, 3, 4 and 7 are shut down. Mills 4 and 7 are overrun by the forest, plants and animals, though Mill 4 is where the trouble started. No idea what started it.

Mill 4 started having problems 3-4 months ago. The incidents are things like animal attacks that escalated into animal swarms and then the forest plants themselves invading and killing the workers.

Mills 4 and 7 are not at all close together, but they did both process the same job of lumber. Drittal Lumber got a request 5 months ago to find and send a specific sort of hardwood tree.The company pushed west to reach a grove of that tree population, and the mill that processed it was Mill 4. When Mill 4 was overrun, the processing of that wood was moved to Mill 7, which was also then attacked.

The scout that helped find the grove was a man named Liat. He also found a bone carved with a rune. Liat's house has been overrun with the forest, and there is a sense of Undeath within.
