Episode 2: Burning from Within
Over the last few days, the Sunreavers have been travelling with the Sentinels and other allies to the base of Amirdrassil, the World Tree, in order to set up an encampment from which to coordinate efforts in the Dream. Just short of arriving, however, they decided to investigate when their fae dragon ally, Artemisia, detected intruder magic nearby.
Together with their allies, the druid Moonfury as well as two others who answered the Magister’s summons for aid, the Sunreavers discovered the site of a Druid of the flame camp. They combed the site for clues, finding journal pages, maps, herbs, remnants of rituals and more clues that could lead to information about the druids’ plans in the Dream.
Just then, the group’s wards indicated the return of the druids. As the group hid, five druids engaged in battle fell from the sky: as four of them pinned down a fight, they shifted back into their kaldorei forms and tied the prisoner up. The Sunreavers listened as the druids accused the prisoner of betraying them with her attempt to leave the cult, and threatened to bring her to someone named Seer Sageswift to be sacrificed for her betrayal.
Inspired to help the prisoner, the group secretly moved into position and engaged the druids in battle while Moonfury worked to free the prisoner. The druids were powerful but the Sunreavers and their allies outnumbered and overpowered them, putting them down with relative ease and freeing the prisoner.
The prisoner, Solarys Thorngale, expressed her gratitude but made her final request: to be delivered to the Sentinels. Then and only then, she would request their aid in one final matter and then deliver any and all information she had on the Druids’ movements and plans in the Dream. Not sure if she could be trusted, the group secured her once again and proceeded to escort her to the Central Encampment, completing their journey.
