1. Entrance. The tunnels to the north and south are sealed by twisted cords of vines thicker than you leg.
2. Lush cave. Vines and dense plants fill this cave. A small mossman rests here, its vines and leaves a bright, young green. It clutches a small copper pendant in its hand: a tree with a thick trunk and tangles of branches above and roots below.

3. Holding room. You find a bunch of lethargic bush brats. Their usually lush leaves look kind of wilted and covered with something that looks like strands of thin spidery silk. They resist all attempts at rescue.

4. Long hall. An elderly __elf attends a group of adolescent __elf huddled by a fire, bringing them soup and water. The __elf's mossy, leafy covering is thicker and more wild than younger __elfs, giving him a feral plantlike appearance. He wears a copper tree pendant.
5. Hatching Room. Full of plump silken cocoons attached to the walls. You see one crack open and a __elf crawl out.

Eventually you reach the bottom of a large earthen bowl. A lone ray of light shines feeble and weak on the floor. The air smells of rich loam. You cross the floor and climb up the other side.
The tree sighs and whispers to you.
> Hello, human child. So nice of you to visit me. There was another child who used to visit me a long long time ago, but I don't see them much any more. I sleep most of the time now though. And not very well. I dream of a dark ocean and a great sea monster. The dream pulls me under, and it becomes harder and harder to wake from it.
> I can tell that the forest likes you. You should visit my friend the river in the wild woods.
You finally have to squeeze yourself through a narrow gap between two roots and claw your way up out of the ground, but you emerge and are standing on the other side of the massive tree.
You brush the caked dirt off your hands and forearms to reveal that your skin has become dark corded wood.

### Protocol J
The secret is this: the bush brats, the __elf, and the mossmen are all distinct life stages of the same creature. When it is time, the bush brat spins a cocoon around itself and later hatches into a __elf. The __elf eventually become more and more plantlike until it becomes a mossman. And the mossman eventually becomes more and more sedentary until it takes root and grows special tuber-like structures which hatch into bush brats, completing the cycle.
The secret is this: the bush brats, the __elf, and the mossmen are all distinct life stages of the same creature. When it is time, the bush brat spins a cocoon around itself and later hatches into a __elf. The __elf eventually become more and more plantlike until it undergoes "the changing" and becomes a mossman. And the mossman eventually becomes more and more sedentary until it takes root and grows special tuber-like structures which under the right conditions hatch into 2 - 3 bush brats, completing the cycle.
You have completed the *Secret of the Forest Children* quest.
