Everett

A low ranking druid of the Circle of Vines, Everett encountered the party just outside the Vineguard Forest on the road to Decimus. He came out of the forest after a raging Dire Ape attacked the party. He apologized for the state of the creature, and their Siege of Decimus is the reason that he, the animals, and others were on such high alert.

Maxentius Pertinax did not want this Dire Ape attacking any other citizen of Agria and decided to destroy the corpse of the creature so that he couldn't be revived and attack other innocents. This put him in direct conflict with Everett, who wished to give the creature a proper burial. After a standoff that most of the party stayed out of, Maxentius was forced to stand down, leaving the Dire Ape corpse with Everett, who vanished with it into the forest.
