Evil Tree Dudes!

Nobody warned me about these guys. It's like a stolen scene from LOTR. I beamed down to the Vale of Ruin and I was swarmed by huge, Evil Tree Dudes. I was getting mobbed by evil, wicked trees up to 5 at a time. Branches were flying everywhere! Is this a normal random encounter in the Vale of Ruin? I expected them up North in the Demigoth lands. Hence the Tree Totem requirement quest. Could this be General Trajek's 'army'?
To escape certain doom I employed fire based attacks and dealt out some damage.

Usually when you run it to that many there is a witch near by. When fighting the guy for the wizard quest I got spammed by 4 bladewitches, 2 twisted sisters, 5 tree monsters and a dragon. I somehow made it through only to be killed moments later by a huge group on ninjas (jerks hit fast).

The spell you’re under,
will slowly rob you of your virgin soul

me too

Yeah, it must depend on your class. First time through, I got the same as Ferncliff, but no dragon. This time, none at all.

On the first time, there was a grove in one of the little valleys which was marked on the automap and seemed to be a tree spawning place. This time, there's nothing there.

Three or four fire nova spells will calm the trees.

evil tree thingy dudes...

I really detest the witches... I usually play a melee character... so I spend a lot of time asleep in thorns or running around slowly with things spinning over my head whist I drink potions... I have learned to really enjoy the little death-cry they have when you have given them the final run-through! (sometimes I pretend that the witches are my ex-wife... very satisfying kills)

sorry... I do go a bit over the top...

Umm, I think they're just a random encounter sometimes. I ran into them my first time out from Fargrove when I went to see the swamp witch for my wizard initiation quest, four of them....wasn't very pretty at all since I couldn't rely on any big spells. Only thing that saved me was having a whole buttload of healing potions from having my random encounters on high during the "sneak into fargrove" part and triggering a bunch of goblins over and over again (thank god for foresight).
