Into the Woods

Into the Woods is the fourth chapter of the Dominic Deegan web comic, detailing a very eventful trip to the woods.

Synopsis
Picking up where the previous chapter left off, Dominic attempts to scry Luna's reply to his offer of dinner but receives a vision of his brother Gregory being confronted by a monster. Dominic gets Luna, grabs a few spells, and heads to Cresant Star Lake. After arriving, Dominic and Luna find a trail of destruction done to several trees. Dominic scrys Gregory's whereabouts to receive what looks like Gregory being killed by the monster. Shocked by this, Dominic faints and leaves Luna to question what shocked him so. Unfortunately, Luna finds herself being menaced by Stunt and Bumper, though the two theives don't fair well as they are blasted by Luna's fireballs and scared off when Luna prepares an attack which in reality is just a flashy illusion. The two theives run towards the woods and find themselves face to face with the monster. Dominic rouses from his fainting spell and recounts his vision explaining that Gregory is dead only to be surprised when Gregory shows up just fine and saying that the monster, a tree ogre needs Dominic's help. Meanwhile, Stunt and Bumper wake up finding themselves tied to a tree, near a severly wounded dryad, and prisoners of Dirk the Mighty, a cantankerous dwarf. While walking through the destroyed stumps of trees, Dominic studies the tree to find them hacked away and uses his second sight to discern one of the trees was home to a dryad.
