A conversation about Reidoth the Druid
*Sister Garaele:* Thank you both for coming. There's a matter of significant concern that requires our attention. Nameroc, you might not be aware, but there's a certain druid named Reidoth who's been exhibiting alarming behavior lately. Reports suggest he's become infatuated with dragons and has even been involved in attacks on small villages to the east. Even more disturbing, he's been seen consorting with a rather unsavory cult – the same one that tried to entice Molly into their ranks.
*Nameroc:* Stares pensively, saying nothing, but a slight eyeroll belies his underlying thoughts.
*Zaila Fanter:* This is indeed troubling news, Sister Garaele. If Reidoth has taken such a drastic turn, it could have dire consequences for the Sword Coast and beyond.
*Nameroc:* This sounds serious, We are somewhat familiar with this Reidoth, but the cult you speak of is something new. Can you shed more light on the situation?
*Sister Garaele:* Of course, Nameroc. Reidoth was once a respected druid, but something has twisted his path. He's been seen attacking villages with dragons at his side – a drastic departure from his previous beliefs. As for the cult, it's one that preys on the youth of the Sword Coast, luring them into its dark grasp. We suspect they're linked to the same group that targeted Molly.
*Zaila:* Nameroc, the reason we've brought you into this is because we believe your unique perspective as a druid could help us understand Reidoth's motivations and connections better. We need to find out more about his alliances and whether this cult's influence has truly taken hold of him.
*Nameroc:* I see your point, but why is this our concern? Shouldn't local authorities handle such matters?
*Sister Garaele:* Normally, I would agree. However, Zaila and I share a common affiliation that has led us to become involved in matters like these. Our aim is to prevent situations like this from escalating into greater chaos.
*Zaila:*
*Nameroc:* I'm intrigued by your "common affiliation" or club, but consorting with secretive organizations can lead to its own set of troubles. What exactly do you need from me?
*Sister Garaele:* We understand your concerns, Nameroc. We're not asking you to commit blindly. Your insights as a druid, your connection to nature, and your unique perspective could help us better understand Reidoth's transformation. By working together, we might be able to uncover a way to counter the influence of the cult and possibly even bring Reidoth back to his senses.
*Zaila:* Nameroc, we're asking for your wisdom, your partnership in this. Together, we can shine light into the shadows and make a difference where it's needed most. The common good and the balance of the land depend on actions like these.
*Nameroc:* Well, you've given me much to consider. I still have reservations, not the least of which is thinking Reidoth ever had any common sense. But if there's even a chance that Reidoth can be brought back from this darkness, I'll lend my aid. Let's delve into this matter together and uncover the truth behind his actions and associations.
*Sister Garaele:* Thank you, Nameroc. Your willingness to explore this path with us is deeply appreciated. With your insights and our shared purpose, we might just be able to make a difference.
