One-Shot: Nature Calls

== Player Characters ==
* Crajeon the Druid/Warlock is a jaded creature of darkness. She fears nothing. 
* Sprite Pepsi the Druid/Bard is abstinence till he dies. He wants to bring holiness to the heathens. 
== Recap ==
Crajeon and Sprite are given a mission by their new druid circle: rescue a monster of earth and stone in the east of the Thor Aru forest before the Daybreaks can destroy it. The two head off towards the rising sun. Before long, they come across a lost wolf cub. Crajeon speaks with the trees to ask where the pup's pack has gone and soon, they reunite the baby with its family. The wolves are thankful. 
Next, they come to a raging river, with rapids below and strong winds above. They start to cross via a tree that had fallen over the river, but a dryad steps out and says they can't use her brother's tree-corpse as a footbridge, mentioning that some humans started chopping down trees for some big project. The druids use their religious and natural knowledge to perform the separation rites to allow the brother to reincarnate, so the dryad gives them her blessing and lets them pass. They notice the river starting to slow as if choked, but don't have time to check it out (yet).
After a few more hours of walking, they come upon a clearing with an outcropping of stone. Suddenly an Azural Font explodes around them, filling them with magic and awakening the earth elemental. It attacks them, as mindless monsters tend to, as Crajeon hits back and Sprite uses his newly boosted Azural Magic to reshape the elemental into... a mug. This confuses it enough that they're able to use a scroll they were given by the druid enclave to charm the monster, who then takes them back across the forest. As they cross the river, though, they find it dried up, with dying fish and sick naiads lying in the drying riverbed. Still, they get the elemental back to the druid enclave, who reluctantly send it to the Zendarru Nightfall Hold.
== Continuity ==
This is the first of the Oops! All Druids mini-series, coming before One-Shot: A Dam Good Reason and One-Shot: Settling Down. The mini-series took place a few days before WoDaD Session 11.
== Trivia ==
* This one-shot was something of a prequel to One-Shot: The Patron's Promise, explaining how the earth elemental got to the Zendarru Nightfall Hold.
