= Development =
== Part 1 ==
Entering a part of the feywild wasteland with a lot of clover plants, the party soon realizes that the plants are conscious and part of a greater being.
A huge treant appears before them and connects to their consciousness. The party gains immediate insight into their surroundings and try to remember as much information as possible during their trip.
They learn the following main things:
* Baba Yaga killed Elminster some hundered years ago
* Elminster's daughter Selena was a prisoner in Baba Yaga's castle and escaped to the tower
* A troop of harengon are stationed near the tower, unable to gain entrance
== Part 2 ==
After receiving this and additional information and insights about each other's motives, the party is disconnected from the tree and realize that the morning turned into night. 
Vani watched over them the whole time and starts investigating on his own by asking them why they travel together if they have so widely different beliefs of morale and duty. They start to argue and a lot of things are shared in regard to the cleansing of the Vernes settlement.
They fall asleep and are pulled back to the material plane.
== Part 3 ==
Waking up in the cave where they killed the yeti, the party spots an old wood-elf skinning the second yeti who waiteed for them.
The wood elf introduces himself as Rarrosh Wellcall. The party follows him to his cabin atop of the mountain range.
Once they arrived, they notice plenty of Capes of the Leaves hanging on clothing lines next to his house. He explains to them that the symbolism of the artifact is enough to keep ill-minded spellcasters away from Brable, the village his grandmother Odd Wellcall founded centuries ago.
The party then shows them the Medallion of Records. When Rarrosh noticed that the third song was opened, he recognizes something in the party: heroes he could never become. He goes up to the cliffside and starts unbuttoning the old cave hanging from his shoulders. The party immediately recognizes it as the true Cape of Leaves. 
He tosses the cape into the wind and it floats towards the God's Plateau.
Manasa starts humming a song from Neverwinter, and Rarrosh recognizes the melody as something his grandmother used to sing, a tune from when she and her sister Even where kids.
