Ylmer, an old treant once known as the protector of the Senenthia forest, has awakened and been tainted by the energy emanating from the now active obelisk. Besides Ylmer, there is a trunky and a dryad protecting him.
You don't see any way to avoid the confrontation, but maybe you can make the fight easier or worse depending on how you approach him.
This challenge will be difficult, so what will you do?*

* [Combat] You engage him quickly to catch him off guard.
*Without hesitation, you draw your weapons and rush at him, gaining a small movement advantage.*
**Start fight with 2 Fast on each hero**
* [Combat](After burning trunkies at Forest Arch) You are an expert at burning trunkies. Burn this one with a spell and eliminate it from the fight.
*You have learned from your past experience with the baker's son death. But at least now you know how to burn a trunky very fast, so you don't waste any more time and cast a powerful fire spell, scorching the trunky before anyone else has time to react. Some of the fire from the spell spread to the dryad and Ylmer. The fight begins.*
You get:  8
**Ylmer fight** starts, no trunky and Ylmer has 14 Burn and the dryad has 8.

**Ylmer fight** starts and enemies have 3 Fast.

## **Ylmer fight**

Enemies:

* Tainted Trunky
* Tainted Dryad

## **The path is clear**

Ylmer will never wake up again. A shame that a once tall and wise treant like him had to end this way because of the mysterious reactivation of the Obelisk. Between Ylmer's roots, you see a large golden chest appear. You are one step closer to your objective.

	You get:  300  300  32  3
	You can choose items from Shield of Thorns, Ylmer's Branch, Yggdrasil Root, 5 other items or 100 gold
