Stranded Heroes Win A Feast

Gather Ingredients Before Nightfall
- LaDrusa asks the party to fetch three specific ingredients to purge a toxin: lantern berries, pale waning mushrooms, and tomb flower petals.
- She gives a map and secures a barge, advising they return by nightfall to cure the villagers.
Small Town, Big Choices
