UNCORRUPTED FAIRY RINGS
Roll a d8 when the characters come across an un-
corrupted fairy ring. On a roll of 1 or 2, there are
no creatures in the ring's vicinity. On a roll of 3 or
highe r. the ring has a swarm of campestris (see ap-
pendix C) s inging a nd da ncing inside it. Using body
la nguage, these c ute, mus hroom-like creatures urge
the characters to join in their reverie. Any character
who does so ca n m a ke a DC 12 Charisma (Perfor-
mance) check, gaining the be nefit of a true seeing
s pell that lasts for 24 hours on a successful check
(no effect on a failure). The ca mpestris aren't clever
e nough to a nswer complex questions about Thither
or offer reliable directions, a nd they speak by mim-
icking words they ca n hear.
The campestris' love for s inging is obvious. Any
character who tries to teach them a new song can
make a DC 13 Charisma (P erformance) check. On
a s uccessful check, the campestris adopt the song
into their routine and bestow a charm ofheroism
(see "Supernatural Gifts" in the Dungeon Master's
Guide) on the character responsible. The campestris
in any given fairy ring can bestow this charm once
only. Check the Story Tracke r: any character who
received singing lessons from Palasha the mermaid
in chapter 1 has advantage on this check.
Activating the Fey Crossing. To use a n uncor-
rupted fa iry ring as a fey crossing, a creature must
hold a wand or a stick of wood above its head and
run in a circle counterclockwise while saying,
"Three turns widdershins, and off we go!" If the
creatu re pe rforming this act is a Fey or has fey an-
cestry, its effort transports all creatures inside the
fairy ring to a remote location on a Material Plane
world ofyour choice. They might arrive inside a
simila r fairy ring that is hidden in an elven tomb or
ins ide the tumbled-down ruin of an ancient tower,
for example. If the c reature holding the wand a nd
running widdershins is neither a Fey nor of fey an-
cestry, the fey crossing activates only if exactly eight
creatures are inside the ring.
The fey crossing works both ways, a llowing travel
to a nd fro m Thither. R eturning to Thither, however,
might require fulfillin g a diffe re nt set of conditions.
For example, the fey crossing on the Material Plane
side might operate only at twilight or on nights of
the full moon, and it might require a n orb ins tead of
a wand or a stick.
Characters ca n plumb the de pths of thei r mem-
ories a nd, with a s uccessful DC 20 Intell igence
(Arcana) check, recall e nough folklore about fairy
rings to know what must be done to activate these
particular fey crossings.

TuNNEL TO MOTHERHORN
A perma ne m illusion of a rock wall conceals an
8 -foot-high, 3-foot-wide tunnel in the back wall of
Obud's grotto. This secret tunnel leads to a storage
room (area M12) beneath Motherhorn's stage. The
illusory wall has no substance. which means that
creatures and objects can pass right through it. A
successful casting of dispel magic (DC 19) causes
the illusory wall to disappear.
Obud informs the characters that Creeping Lyn
is unaware of this tunnel's exis te nce ("Let's keep it
that way, aye?"' he adds). The characters can return
to the grotto through the tunne l whenever they
want, provided they are on good terms with the brig-
ganocks. ff the cha racters use the tunne l without
