| **DM's Notes:** We took a break for a moment, as I inadvertently tipped my hand. I had let the players choose three common, two uncommon, and one rare item for the campaign, since they were starting at 5th level. One of those items prevented the party from being surprised (like, ever). Great choice! Unfortunately, I had already rolled 12d6 poison damage from the necrotic treant -- and it would have dropped Valenthe to 0HP in one shot. This left Saige in a not happy place, mentally. Then we degenerated into a discussion on why treants spoke the Sylvan language, what worked a storyline in this world, and how that affected the team's ability to interact with the treant. Saige's character, not speaking Common nor any of the orcish tongues, felt that taking away Sylvan from the treants was an attack of sorts on her, while Caileb felt that there was no good reason for a treant (alive or undead) to speak Sylvan. We took a break for an hour or so to work things out, before getting back to the battle. We did our best not to metagame the undead treant's poison breath attack, rerolled damage, and went on from there. It wasn't pretty, but I think we answered all the questions well enough. | **DM's Notes:** We took a break for a moment, as I inadvertently tipped my hand.

| - | FYI, Celestial in this world is the ancestral tongue, still spoken by the gods and their divine minions. The churches still speak Celestial -- although the layman does not. Thus, Druidic and Sylvan and many other languages are derivatives of Celestial. Sylvan is the language of the treants, and Druidic is the language of the druids (passed down from generation to generation, or from heirophant to student). The language of the ancient druids derived from Druidic, transforming over human generations into Karatikan, and over even more generations into Common. | + | FYI, Celestial in this world is the ancestral tongue, still spoken by the gods and their divine minions.
