Rock and Flame | Critical Role | Campaign 4, Episode 34 | Part 2 — Critical Role

The party arrives at the Miller's Road to find a Hawthorne tree being attacked by fairy poachers and Creed soldiers who are poisoning the local lake with iron filings. As the party engages in combat, they discover their fairy allies are in critical condition, with Rust Blossom already thrown into the fire. The players coordinate to save the unconscious sprites, stabilize the dying Honeysuckle, and unleash powerful spells like Hunger of Hadar to blind and damage the enemies while protecting the burning tree.
