Trix, Rou and Elaith are surprised to find that Nadros is guarded by a sole, mysterious figure.
Trix rushes to aid Elaith, who has been suddenly pulled up toward the canopy and an awaiting man-eating plant. As they make quick work of the predator, Rou maneuvers to catch his new friend when they fall. Unknown to the party, an unseen figure watches the scene from the shadows. As the smoke clears from Trix’s arrow and Elaith lands safely, the figure reveals themself.
Standing over 8 feet tall, the figure demands they return to where they came from and insists the island has nothing for them. When Elaith pushes back, and even goes so far as to give a thorough description of the plant they need, the figure seems to relax a bit. Rou and Trix chime in, helping to convince the figure to at least talk with them - preferably in a safer place. The figure, who shares she’s named Ashaña, leads them deeper into the jungle. What strikes the party is that the plants seem to react to his very presence as ze walks through the foliage.
