Draiss snorts at Daminor's possible solution, and says, "I hope not, because druids and their allies usually have sharp, pointy sticks, and a hankering to use them on us if we did burn the forest down. No, I suspect that it is coming from a particular creature or item, and destroying the source should cause the forest to start reverting to a more 'normal' feel. If we take too long, however, the foulness might take root here, having poisoned enough of the forest to make itself permanent, without needing the creature to sustain it.<br/><br/>I wonder how long this has been here. The taint does not feel very strong, but that might be what makes it dangerous, it slowly influences the victim. Like a weak poison building up in the body, before finally killing them."<br/><br/>Shaking his head, he grins at the others, and says, "Sorry, was distracting myself. So, who volunteers to tell the Maura that we are in a forest that is driving her evil? Or is she likely to have heard us? I don't know who good her hearing is."
