But soon after doing this, the druid was murdered by a tribe of goblins, one of whom has now come back to the forest (with new companions) hoping to find the Panoply of Narven and become powerful. In the spirit of respect, Willowroot then scattered the five parts of the regalia in different parts of the forest so that each would be in a context that best matches its elemental affinity. The backstory involves a druid named Willowroot recovering the magical regalia of Narven, the last forest king of Arthfell (in Andoran).

It doesn't add to setting lore in a significant way and there are a lot better adventures for level 1 characters out there. Paizo was putting out some *really* good modules during this time period, and I've liked some of the author's other work, but Into the Haunted Forest can be safely skipped. Last, as an adventure designed for four level 1 characters, there are a lot of encounters that could be quite deadly and they occur in a short duration with a "race against time" element that means taking rests is not optimal-the cumulative effect could easily be a sad TPK. The background and some story elements come across as more cheesy than I think they're intended, and there's a poor use of Golarion and the tone of the setting. The plot barely holds together and relies heavily on events that are either contingent and simply may not trigger for every group or on some heavy-handed GMing to force recalcitrant groups to take part. I ran this for a group of two level 1 PCs and two PCs that were a little higher. My conclusion is that the need to incorporate all of these elements into a short adventure is part of the reason why it's just not a very good module. All of these products (which were also sold separately) are used heavily in the module. Into the Haunted Forest is a sixteen page adventure that was originally designed to be bundled into Paizo's "Treasure Chest" product along with a deck of item cards ( Elements of Power), a flip mat ( Woodlands), and a map pack ( Inns).
