The Scepter of Yolacha

User summary: While traveling through a wooded region the characters are approached by an venerable elf named Nindrol. "I am in need of heroes. I have known these woods for a score of centuries and it's spirit is as dim as I can remember. At the heart of this shadow is a single tree, a Geldar tree, almost as ancient as I. Once great and noble it is now bent by darkness. I possess knowledge of such things and a shadow of memory reveals that I must go deep beneath the roots to find that which curses green leaf to gray. Will you aid me in this noble quest?"
