My party is a collection of misfits and criminals who are seeking to earn the most amount of gold and power they can to live comfortably and with status. They have no problem being evil, they have no problem being good. They are selfish and beautiful b*stards.
They have been promised coin, land, magic items, and prestige if they can clear the hostile presence in this forest. The party jumps at the chance. They being to discover that the plant life of the forest is hostile, that the entire area was once a town. After about 2 hours of corridor transversal, they get to a fork in the road. This my dear readers, is where the best rule break I’ve ever had the experience to see happens. The party decides to split.
The first group travels down the path with no issue. Coming across a small clearing where a Goblin camp has clearly imprisoned some undead creatures. As the first party watches, a Goblin sticks their spear through the cage, destroying one of the undead. At this point, the 1st group reveals themselves. A quick persuasion check and inspection from the Goblins prevents any hostility.
The Goblins warn to destroy any red crystals you come across. They are evil. To be destroyed at all costs. That they have been tasked by the Spirit of this Forest to destroy these red crystals that have twisted the forest. The first group asks why they haven’t succeeded. The Goblin goes to answer but instead gestures to the imprisoned undead. The one that was destroyed earlier beings to reform in front of the first group. They watch as the spearman takes out another one. The Goblins ask to please destroy these red crystals and the source of all of this, and points to where the source of it all is. A few small Goblin children can be seen looking out over some supplies at the 1st group.
The 2nd group characters are unaware this happens. As they run into another clearing some distance away, where a number of undead, coated with a red and black energy, stumble around. In the clearing there are some imprisoned Goblins. The 2nd group decides to reveal themselves and run away if it gets bad. 2 undead closest to the Goblins waves the party members over. They bring out a stone that allows them to speak common at them despite the lack of organs to do so.
The undead tells the tale of am angry forest spirit who was angry with a town. How these undead were a victim of a curse placed upon them and now must also suffer the constant attacks of the Forest Spirits Goblin band. While they say they no longer feel pain, they are so tired and just want to rest.
They tell the 2nd group that the only way to break the curse and let them rest is to put all the red crystals together at the source, and to destroy them all there. Otherwise you may doom them to an eternity of them staying the way they are. The Goblin prisoners are clearly not be attacked or hurt, but they do look thin, as if they have had very little to eat.
The undead offer to hold the crystals if they would like but do not insist on the matter.
Then the two parties reconvene for the best follow up conversation the group has ever had.
