What you will meet

From the treetop, movement rustles in the branches below while a large green dragon rests in an adjacent clearing, prompting a choice on how fast to descend.

What we saw
- Our run 1: Climbed the tallest tree, observed movement below, and descended slowly to find the creature gone and two greens ahead.
- Our run 2: Repeated the tree climb and slow descent, arriving at the two-green clearing without incident.
Counts, not odds. Both runs took the same tree path on one account; alternate branches rely on community accounts.

FAQ
Is there a guaranteed route to a black or blue dragon?
