Fairy Garden (Durendal)
Danger Level: High
This location is a fey pocket dimension used for storing stolen children. It is guarded by hostile fey creatures.
What We Know
This is a pocket dimension accessible via a circle of daisies just outside Durendal. It appears to be a holding area for children taken as “favors” by fey vendors in the town market.
Description
The environment is high-contrast and shifting. From the air, Runcible observed a maze, fountains, and topiary that constantly changed form.
The entrance leads to a gated area with two main sections:
- The Lawn: A large empty lawn where we were ambushed.
- The Hedge Maze/Garden: A section behind a large hedge.
Inhabitants
- Dryads: We encountered three hostile dryads capable of casting charm spells and restraining vines.
- Redcaps: Two small, murderous fey wielding barbed sickles.
- Blink Dogs: Four teleporting dogs that attacked the party in a pack.
Our Experience
We entered the garden to rescue Merisa. Immediately upon passing the gates, we were ambushed by a large group of fey. The battle was brutal; Theren was mauled to unconsciousness by blink dogs and redcaps, nearly dying before being stabilized by Anaphel.
