A venerable faun druid stands in the middle of a forest path. As you approach, he greets you, but warns, “The forest is not welcoming visitors today” and urges you to turn back.
…except he’s actually a Tanooki gourmand utilizing a minor illusion cantrip, because he’s found a bountiful patch of mushrooms, and is afraid you’ll ask to share them. He made his small curved mushroom knife look like a formidable sickle, and added the impressive antlers of a great faun, but forgot to hide his own bushy tail.

Hey Team- Parrish here. This time we’ll be doing something I hope you’ll see a lot more often for Alterra flavor: I post a picture from AoE or one of our partners, and tell you about how I’d include it in an expedition, David will give his own story, and we’d also love to hear your take on it.

So, I was coloring this standee by Matt Holmberg (@orwin-dm), when I noticed that this venerable faun druid had a very suspicious looking tail in the back of his robe.  You can continue the story I started. Will the adventures turn back? What would he do if they call his bluff?

Or tell us your own story for this picture. What popped into your head when you saw them? What sort of powers do they have? Do they use them for good, or for awesome? 
Okay- until next time…
