Oakfellow

While provisioning his ships for the voyage to Nowold, Rolf Varegar received an urgent message from an old Tree Ent friend named Oakfellow. The message explains that Oakfellow is in need of immediate assistance and asks Rolf Varegar to come to the grove immediately.The grove is a last bastion of Tree Ents in the region. If the grove were to fall, the decadent and sometimes evil elves from across the Greenwall river could lay claim to the forests west of the river.

Rolf Varegar mounted his Hippogriff and flew the 300 miles to the grove in a less than half a day. 

At the grove, Oakfellow explained that elves from the east have crossed into the grove and killed two Tree Ents. In the process. they destroyed some of the boundary markers that protect the grove from outsiders. 

Oakfellow requested that Rolf Varegar, quickly fly around the permiter of the grove and fortify the magical boundary markers. On a Hippogriff, it should take just a few days.

Upon completing the task, Oakfellow asks the ranger to eat mushrooms and sleep in his branches before returning to the colonization fleet the next day.
During the night the ranger has a dream...

Walking in a wasteland you come upon a sapling. You hear a voice inside your head say,”scout the the new land and find places of bounty.”

...you continue to walk and find yourself in the deep forest in a small clearing with a small but well kept farmhouse...the voice continues,”homestead the deep forest and prosper.”

...you continue on the path and come upon an elven village deep in the forest...the voice continues,”seek out friends and allies. Pursue the Just Cause. Defend the righteous.” 

...you continue to walk until you come to a farming village being put to the torch by hill tribes. Again the voice speaks, “Put the scourge to the sword. Destroy their seed and Found the Southern Gate."

When Rolf Varegar woke in the morning, one of the branches upon which he slept was glowing. Oakfellow instructed him to break of the branch and use it to form a longbow. The branch stopped glowing when separated from Oakfellow. He explained the branch will form a longbow that will destroy enemies of the grove (specifically the hill tribes). "When the branch again glows, immediately return to the grove for we are in dire need of your aid."

Longbow +3 to hit/damage, 2d6 damage, strength bonus, double damage to orckin, trolkin and giantkin. After killing 1000 hit dice the bow gets a new ability. Single shot per round if hit orc/troll/giantkin save versus pertification. bosses roll for limbs 1=L Leg 2=R Leg 3=L Arm 4=R Arm 5=Head
