The party pulled themselves together and descended from the tree. The dryad waited for them at the bottom of the ladder seemingly impatient to be off. She lead the party off into the woods generally heading in a north-east direction.
After about four miles the forest began to thin out. Lauriana said that the area had been mined by gnomes in the past and the forest was slowly reclaiming the despoiled land. Finally she halted. Ahead they could see that the forest now gave way more to bush than trees. Finding some clear soil, she traced the layout ahead with a stick. The mine was about 50 yards ahead to the north with a ruin some 75 yards beyond to the north east, an ancient burial mound was located a similar distance to the north west. From what she had seen and Riker told her, the ruin seemed the most likely location of the ogremage's lair though she was not certain.
"I will leave you here as I am no match for the abomination, please destroy it and release Riker." she concluded.
OOC: there is time for a couple of questions of the dryad before she leaves if any have them.
