The Waking Grove

In a sacred grove, the trees have begun to move when no one is watching, leaving strange spirals of footprints in the thawing soil. Animals avoid the area, and at night, distant creaking can be heard like a forest learning to walk. Investigate the awakening grove, discover who or what disturbed its ancient slumber, and decide whether to calm or encourage the marching trees.
