Wyress Gwen, Things have gotten strange around the Wyrd Tree since you've been traveling. Remember those weird vines that began sprouting a few weeks ago? Well, they've grown huge and they seem … evil … somehow. I know it sounds crazy, but that's the only way I can describe it. Evil with a capital "E." And now it's worse than I feared. Some of the vines have mutated, and now they spawn lurchers from their corrupted thorns.
