Meeting Adelina
Just inside the entryway to the sprawling city
gardens, Adelina, the alluring inhabitant of a
danse du feu (fire dance) climbing rose, waits to
reveal herself until the party indicates that they
intend her no harm and are there for her help.
Before she emerges, she checks to see that no

Adelina, a climbing rose dryad, is happy enough
to meet the party, but she will require their
assistance in a matter of her own for them to
gain her trust. She needs help acquiring a
flowering herb that will perfectly accentuate
the rose garden. However, she has a romantic
history with the only person in the city who
grows this particular plant.

The Matter of the Aconitia

herself, Lysan Neryo, a satyr who lives across

who grows queen’s lace, a flowering herb that is a
