Not to be confused with Dryad of the Cloud Peaks.
Dryad of the Cloud Peaks is a quest with a moral, and the moral is: don't be greedy. When a nice dryad asks for your help, just do it. Asking for payment or, worse yet, insisting on payment will only reduce your eventual reward. The possible rewards are:
- 500 xp, Antidote, Reputation +1
- 500 xp, Potion of Healing, Reputation +1 (if you ask for payment)
- 300 xp, 20 gp (if you insist on payment)
Other rewards include 175 xp each for killing Caldo and Krumm, a Girdle of Bluntness (AC +4 vs. blunt weapons) from the body of Krumm.
Alternatively, side with the thugs and the dryad turns hostile. Kill her for 975 xp, the Antidote and Potion of Healing both, as well as a Dagger, but suffer a major loss to Reputation. (See "Killing an innocent" in the Effects of Actions on reputation table.)

- Entry Title: Dryad of the Cloud Peaks
- Quest Begins:
While traveling the Cloud Peaks I met a dryad. She asked that I help protect her tree. How could I refuse such a request?
- Quest Completed:
I have curried the favor of a dryad in the Cloud Peak mountains. Pleasing such spirits of nature will bring me no end of luck.
- Quest Refused:
I have angered a dryad near the Cloud Peaks and have been warned out of "her" wood. It's of little concern. She also directed me to look into a wolf cave just to the south, where a treasure cache is hidden.
