      Once again, units from the Battle for Wesnoth video game inspired characters in this arc. Roombledoombledeur is from the Wose unit line. The so-called fancy skeleton, Mal-Uldhar is a Lich, and specifically one from the first scenario of Eastern Invasion. Tilyn, with his straw hat and pitchfork, is a Peasant, and his father Gumreddoc, back in his adventuring days, was Heavy Infantry.

      • Scene 5
      • GM Notes

        This arc took a lot of inspiration from The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate – Discoveries from a Secret World by Peter Wohlleben. It’s a fascinating non-fiction book that combines the observations of a forester with recent scientific research. The author does tend to anthropomorphize trees a bit more than I think is justified, but as an inspiration for woses, that was spot on. It’s definitely worth a read if you love forests!
