Thundertree

Thundertree was once a prosperous village that thrived on it's woodcutting and trappers. After a disastrous eruption from Mt. Hotenow devastated the area, a plague of plant-based zombies wiped out any survivors. After the Heroes intervened with, Venomfang, the Green Dragon who had taken inhabitants in the tower, the town has since been partly rebuilt by Reidoth to restore it to it's previous glory.

The Brown Horse
A tavern renowned for its excellent ale. Now with a full roof and emptied of Ash Zombies, the recipe for the ale has been recovered and when a new proprietor takes it over, it's sure to gain renown again.

Druid's Watch
This was where Reidoth would camp when he visited Thundertree and has now become his home as he works toward the Emerald Enclave's goals.

Dragon's Tower
Formerly the home of a human wizard, who was killed fighting the ash zombies that overran Thundertree thirty years ago. It also housed the Green Dragon, Venomfang, for a short amount of time. It is in disrepair and is not of high priority,

Herbalist's Shop
This is a herb and alchemy shop belonging to the family of Mirna Dendrar, now a resident of Phandalin. All the ruined reagents, concoctions and books have been replaced with newer stock supplied by the Emerald Enclave. Reidoth uses it occasionally with help from some of the workers who have begun to help around Thundertree.

Pre-Campaign
Once, this was a prosperous community on the outskirts of the forest, wealthy from the work of the woodcuters and trappers. Then thirty years ago, the eruption of Mount Hotenow to the north devastated Thundertree. In the wake of the natural disaster, a plague of strange zombies swept over the area, killing or driving off those who survived the eruption.

Though most of the zombies had long since crumbled to dust, strange magic permeated the area had mutated the local vegetation into new and dangerous forms. Few people dared to venture into the ruined village, and those that did so seldom stayed long - with two notable exceptions. The druid Reidoth visited from time to time, keeping a wary eye on its dangers. Cultists had also arrived to strike a deal with Venomfang, who had claimed Thundertree as its domain.

Venomfang's Deceit
Upon Reidoth's sporadic visit, Venomfang overpowered, captured and restrained him. She had lashed out as two of her eggs had recently been stolen by a Cult.

A few days later, a group of adventurers entered the ruined town and Venomfang used her emerging magic to disguise herself as Reidoth. Using her cunning and the adventurers naivety she tricked them into believing the eggs stolen were those of a Roc.

The adventurers returned Venomfang's eggs to her and she escaped with them, taking on her Dragon form, the group returned to the tower and found the real Reidoth bound in a chest. He was not impressed and the group left.
