#### Dialogue

* Hollow Spell Binder - You... you... you... must find the six parts of the whole...
* Elder Mohawk - Great. Vague AND ominous. Love that.
* Willow Druid - Elder, please. What do you mean, six parts?
* Hollow Spell Binder - You... you... you... are the first... An old friend out on a limb...
* Willow Druid - But I don't understand, what does that even mean?
* Hollow Spell Binder - ...
* Willow Druid - Hello? Um, Hollow...person?
* Hollow Spell Binder - ...
* Rogue Bowman - Welp. That's not good.

### 8-2-2 Miss Communication

In which our Heroes seem to be left with more questions than answers.

#### Enemies

* **63** \***63** \***63** \***63** **63**

### **8-3 Thinking Caps On!**

Since our Heroes can't question the Hollow again, they'll have to figure out her ominous message.

### 8-3-1 Elder...

Elder makes a joke in poor taste, because of course he does.

#### Enemies

* Rogue Bowman - So we get to ask the Hollow one question and that's it?
* Willow Druid - It appears that way...
* Storm Wizard - I told you these artifacts need to come with instructions.
* Elder Mohawk - So, I guess that means we leave Hollows off the invite list for our next game of twenty questions.

### 8-3-2 Think For Yourself

The Heroes venture on, pondering possibilities to their particular problem.

### **8-4 Deep Thought**

After many miles and enemies the Heroes have the item possibilities narrowed down to...nothing. They got nothing.

### 8-4-1 Genius Time

In which our Heroes become a little on edge.

### 8-4-2 Bark! Bark! Bark!

In which Willow Druid makes a breakthrough!

### =Dialogue

* Elder Mohawk - Guh! Even after all this time, I keep finding Acacia's "love notes" in my napsack!
* Willow Druid - Acacia! Acacia!!! Everyone! I think I figured out what the Hollow was trying to tell us!
* Elder Mohawk - Well lass, spit it out.
* Willow Druid - The Hollow said "An old friend out on a limb." She was talking about a tree!
* Light Warden - Great! so we need to go find Acacia?
* Willow Druid - Close, but Acacia isn't my oldest tree friend. We need to find Yew!
* Light Warden - ...me? But... um... I'm standing right here...
* Willow Druid - < sigh >

### **8-5 Wild Is The Wind**

The Heroes find Yew but there are no branches to be found.

#### Dialogue

* Elder Mohawk - Great, lass, we found your tree. Now where is the branch?
* Willow Druid - Yew says that there was a huge windstorm last night and it blew away all of her fallen branches.
* Elder Mohawk - Oh well, no matter. I'll just get out my axe...
* Willow Druid - ELDER!

### 8-5-1 Leaf It To Us!

Not wanting to hurt her friend, Willow Druid proposes an alternative plan.

### 8-5-2 Into The Woods

The Heroes begin their search in the woods for Yew's fallen branch.

### **8-6 Bird Is The Word**

In which Willow Druid asks the birds if they have built their nests with her branches.

### 8-6-1 Bear In Mind

In which Druid heroically asks a bear if she has seen the branch.

### 8-6-2 Leave It To Beavers

The beavers have the branch in their dams!

### **8-7 The Sky's The Limb-It**

First item found! What is next for our Heroes?

#### Dialogue

* Willow Druid - I found it! I found Yew's branch!
* Elder Mohawk - Fantastic, lass! I never thought I would ever be so happy to see a spot of wood!
* Light Warden - Good job everyone! This was a win!
* Rogue Bowman - Now we just have to find another Hollow, and ask it a question clever enough that it'll be able to tell us everything. Then we just find the next item!
* Elder Mohawk - ...
* Light Warden - ...
* Rogue Bowman - Well, I'm excited.
