I am Wanaidi, the spirit of the forest.
The Ram Staff that you have found gives me 
power to materialize before you.  Friends-
you seek the source of the fouling of the 
river Quoth.  The evil dragon Cyraphus-  
is at the river's source - placed there 
by the Wraith of the Storm Giant King.  
To ward thee I would place my blessing
on thee.  Before I can know if thou are
the ones however - ye must answer a riddle-
I am the essence that fill's man's bones
My breath makes death leave thee alone
When first born,  you are my own
In the long night, I fade into the loam.
