Once you have solved all four grid panels in the Gnomograph puzzle, you can claim the diamond gnome from the cage. Diamond Gnome #2 – Platform Puzzle

Collecting the last diamond gnome involves a brief mini-boss battle with a gnome named Bomber Gnight. Again, you will need to use the Boombox to put Dreadwood to sleep so that you can shoot the heart on the vines and access the boss.

Of these, the most potent and crucial is that of using "whispers". The Cabal's utilization of whispers almost fully removes the need for ritual components in all manner of rites. Using the most carnal and spiritually powerful parts of the Disciple's soul, all arts of necromancy are manifested before you. Dreaded Depths: Bright light only extends out to 10 feet from magical or nonmagical sources. The normal range of bright light beyond that range is reduced to dim light while dim light is reduced to darkness. Darkvision's range is reduced to 30 feet no matter the original maximum. Scuttlers are undead, spider-like arthropods that vaguely resemble a Myrmex; they have hard, chitinous armor, 3 pairs of walking legs, a moderate-sized thorax, a moderate-sized head with 10 glowing blue eyes and large raptorial appendages near the front of their mouth, and a large, bulbous, upwards-facing abdomen. They are dark blue in color, with a lighter blue skull patterning on their abdomen. I plan on using this reference for the Nightshade Queen's presented form, while this one is for her true form corrupted by the Hells and the Shadowfell.

Dreadwood is being updated with a new layout! I apologize for the old map, but due to complications it's unworkable right now. Keep an eye out for updates. The adult green dragon and death knight are very interesting entries for the Dreadwood random encounter table. A green dragon could have an uneasy alliance with a party to fight Granny Nightshade, seeking rule of the Dreadwood and Castle Spiral for itself. Or it could be an ally of Nightshade's, or perhaps even Granny Nightshade can shapechange or polymorph into a green dragon. Also, is this death knight some sort of oath breaker who joined up with Granny Nightshade? A former lover perhaps? A hero and monster hunter cursed by Nightshade to be what he once destroyed? Could a party seek out this death knight's aid in the fight against Nightshade, or is it too far gone to be of aid to either faction, pursuing its own goals or protecting some item or location that could be used against the night hag (which would also be a great use of the green dragon). Perhaps an enterprising party can ally with both...meaning they can storm Castle Spiral with a death knight riding a green dragon! That visual alone is worth the potential betrayal, right? With these two particular entries I feel there's a ton of ways they could be used as allies, enemies, or both, but there's others as well! Granny Nightshade is terror incarnate for the people who live in the Saltmarsh area as she literally controls nightmares and the creatures of the Shadowfell. If a party is tasked with or wanting to end her reign, they are in for quite a difficult and horrifying adventure.

Beginning life as a green hag, she was known to be more personable than her sisters as well as wise, leading her to being accepted in various fey courts as an advisor. Among the more traditionally beautiful fey she learned to appreciate beauty, or their interpretation of it, and chose to use her abilities to present herself as one of them rather than her true hideous hag form. While tolerating this more than her natural appearance, many of the fey courtiers and archfey teased her and played cruel jokes and pranks to unmask her, and the hag found that her position as advisor had been changed into a court jester. Her foremost minions are undead and skulks conjured from the reflections of soldiers and other creatures that defy her will, though many other creatures have come under her employ...willingly or not. Her prized possession is a Mirror of Life Trapping that holds some of her most impressive enemies from archfey to powerful fiends as well as the archmage Zenopus who tried to swindle power from her. The Dreadwood is the realm of the Nightshade Queen and she is a living nightmare for those that seek to lay claim to where she seeks to expand. Nightshade's power is so great that the entire Dreadwood acts as an extension of her power. Creatures that sleep anywhere in the Dreadwood carries the risk of drawing her attention, meaning that the sleeper may experience horrible dreams that leave them marked by her. Such marked beings are easier for denizens of the Dreadwood to seek out and strike while also knowing the person's name and personal details, all while coaxing them to journey deeper into the forest to serve their mistress.
