Dryad - Male ver (Patreon)

You continue on. Deeper into this strange realm. Eventually you take a moment to rest. One of your party leans against a tree... the tree turns saying "ah, so you've finally come back to rest your weary head..." you all start screaming... the tree screams too for a moment.

A little time later the tree, which turns out to be a dryad, explains you are now stuck somewhere within the fay wilds. He would give you more information, but he is bound to this one specific tree, unlike his female kin who can move freely. 

He advises you stay with him a while till your key is ready. He seems grateful for the company...
