One-Shot: A Dam Good Reason

== Player Characters ==
* Crajeon the Druid/Warlock is average height (for an elf) and has short brown hair and light brown skin with swirling black tattoes going up from her hands to her elbows. She has an eyepatch covering her right eye and rarely smiles.
* Dewy the Druid is a female gnome with long, wavy, pale blue hair. She is using what seems to be a knotted and water worn branch as a walking stick, more to keep her balance with her huge pack than anything else. A scimitar hangs at her side and she currently has a wide smile. Her clothes are simple with tiny shells adorning most of it.
* Sprite Pepsi the Druid/Bard is a dwarf who hates alcohol. He is abstinence till he dies!
== Recap ==
After returning the earth elemental to the druid enclave, Sprite and Crajeon are sent back out to investigate the dam blocking the river they crossed. Because it could be particularly difficult, they're accompanied by the enclave's water-magic expert, Dewy. As they travel, Dewy notices that nature seems to be holding its breath - the trees are still, the birds are silent, even the dirt seems to muffle their footsteps. 
They reach the nearly-dry river and find the surrounding trees to be stripped bare, many of them taken away entirely. The dryad Crajeon and Sprite had originally talked to is sick, her tree half-way chopped and then carelessly left behind. Sprite casts a spell to breathe life into the plants which helps, while Crajeon fails to notice a vengeful nature spirit as it comes up behind them and attacks. The spriggan - essentially a darker, angrier version of a dryad - is quickly talked down by the druids who vow to help avenge the forest and river. Sprite stays behind to continue healing the plants and the other two continue up-river.
They see the riverbed littered with dead fish, snakes, and other aquatic creatures. Along the banks, trees are stripped of bark and branches as game animals lie hunted but not taken in full (only trophies taken from them). When the river gets a little stronger, the druids spot a crude raft of several trees being pulled upstream by beaten, tired horses and directed by a group of humans. Dewy and Crajeon destroy the boat, kill the humans, and (barely) save the horses. Worn out, they decide to rest for the night, planning to go to the dam in the morning. The roots and vines of the forest grow over their hiding spot to protect them.
== Continuity ==
This is the second one-shot in the Oops! All Druids mini-series, coming before One-Shot: Settling Down and after One-Shot: Nature Calls. The mini-series took place a few days before WoDaD Session 11.
