Tips and Misc

The life trees can be upgraded to produce more energy, but at the cost of some of your gathered energy.
Despite the dialog saying that the cost for upgrading life trees is 80 energy, the actual cost of an upgrade is 50 energy.
The life trees and defense trees can be restored when destroyed, at the cost of some of your gathered energy.
The defense trees can be upgraded to be more resistant, at the cost of some of your gathered energy.
Two different levels of Vine Horrors can be purchased at the Great Tree for some of the energy you have gathered.
The challenge doesn't start until you speak to the Great Tree, giving your party time to get in and buff up.
The top left path is the "Western Path", which makes everything on that side the "Western <name>" when the DM calls out the attacks.
The middle path is the "Central Path"
The Bottom right path is the "Eastern Path"
Each life tree generates 1 point of energy, while the Great Tree generates 1 itself, so losing all the life trees will not end the production of energy.
This version has Drow Wizards instead of Necromancers.
