At home in idyllic fey forests? Willing to put your life on the line for a relaxing spa day? Then bring your eyeglasses of sunblocking, ‘cos this is the 5th edition adventure for you.

The yearly Feyfest approaches, but the Blossom Union of Springarden finds itself deprived of its holiest shrine… and most lucrative tourist attraction. A powerful creature crossed the thin barrier between the Plane of Fey and the Material Plane and now stakes claim to the heart of the Springwood, driving pilgrims away and threatening to ruin the highly anticipated celebrations. Can you fight off the irate Suneater Owlbear and help the druid-monks save Feyfest?

This unique, easy-to-run monster hunting adventure is playable at a variety of levels. Investigate the creature to find its weaknesses, prepare your plan of attack, then unleash your fury with brand-new spells and win some magnificent loot!
