They continue on the path, and it forks and goes to more woods and the structures. Alzar chooses to head to the woods along the wall. As they do so, there are many fruit and berry trees, and they ignore them. They come across nothing here, and the path leaves the woods behind. It continues along the wall and passes a steep bank on the right, which has a path that goes up to it. At the base of the bank is an opening, and they go to explore it. There are beams supporting a wooden lintel with dog-rose and a nice cozy feel. The open room has tables, chairs, jars, alembics, tomes, and more and it is quite brimming with items. As they enter, they see a tall green skinned man, with a fur shirt and shorts and moccasins. The Green Man is upset that they killed the firedrakes, but he can see that they were attacked first. He is also upset at Alzar’s demeanor, and kicks them out of his place. They continue along the path and re-enter new woods.
Shortly along the path, Alzar and company arrive at a place where the path bisects a grove of gnarled oaks. There is large amounts of mistletoes around these gnarled giants of the wood. As they move forward, they see a large tree overshadowing the path, and in its roots is a sheathed sword with a gem encrusted hilt.
As they get nearer, suddenly, two large branches from the oak jumps off and try to hit Alzar. He is surprised, and they get a chance to hit him. One misses and the other hits, and begins to exude a powerful poison that paralyzes and lignifies. He makes his save vs poison this round, but it pinned by the large branches. Both Estaish and Aleigha manage to kill the other one that misses by dealing15 damage to it off a crit by one of them. The next round, Alzar makes the save, and the branch is missed by both Aleigha and Estaish. The next round, Estaish hits for 3 damage. Alzar makes his save, Aleigha drops her sword, Estaish for 10 damage. Alzar makes the save, Estaish hits for 7 and kills the branch.

They continue on and enter an area where a Treant, approaches them, and asks them to leave his area, because they damaged a tree. Alzar agrees, and they continue on and out of the woods entirely. They cross a bank and see a cave. Curious, again they investigate. Just inside is a large grotto with a pond inside. There are two giant frogs that leap out and attack. These are not too large, and they are killed in one round.
