They depart company when they reach the edge of the "Violethaven" which is a field that is said to bloom with brilliant violet flowers in brilliant sunlight. But those flowers are harmful, possessing the power to send any man into the deepest slumber from which they may never awaken. Fortunately Haastenmoord and the wider region has only known perpetual light and misty gloom ...

The object he requires is named the "Jarisite Bracelet" and he believes it is being held by a cyclops named "Otha". Otha is a loyal minion and underling of a formorian named "Painbringer" who dwells deep beneath the ground.

He is escorted to the manor by Claudia Gerhardt (one of the baker's daughters) and on arrival is met by Otto (a 7' tall pale-faced well-dressed man servant) who shows Wulfram through to the main dining hall. The Crosstenmarch manor is lavishly decorated and its rich woven tapestries and thick piled carpets reflect a predominant symbology of roses, crosses and wolves. Lord ...

When he investigates the disturbance he sees that all the men-folk are searching and the Aranbergh sons (hunter/rangers) reveal that colven foot prints are imprinted in the snow.

Lord Crosstenmarch clearly stands out above the others and commands their respect; he is deeply suspicious of Wolfram and his motives. He confides he "knows and recognises Wolframs true nature", an obvious reference to the affliction that Wolfram has contracted from his wolf bite.

He scans the area and observes a section of ground about 100' way that is smothered by a lot of ground litter and leaves. A strong breeze picks up and then the leaves gather quickly and rise, forming a swirling shape that moves across the ground. Its form shifts and wavers as Wolfram watches.

He shakes off a brief moment of drowsiness and proceeds along the path. The trees here are tall, with little underbrush near their bases. Visibility is good with only the occasional wisp of mist seen forming. After an hour he sees the path is blocked by thick vines, creepers ...

He could smell wood smoke and grunting. It sounded like pigs. He could also hear an old woman's voice, singing. He grew suspicious thinking that this might be one of Loki's tricks.

The woods beyond appeared to thin slightly so further progress would be easier. Closer inspection of the rune post showed it had a very distinctive face of an old beared man carved into it, surrounded by many leaves. "The Green Man," Wolfram mused. And to this it responded.
