After leaving Treft and while traveling north after their quarry the party met a pair of men, seemingly spying on a curious and beautiful woman. She was alone among a herd of deer and dressed in clothing seeming made from plants and festooned with flowers.

About the men spying on her, she found the most amusement, and then with a magical quickness seemed to depart.
