With hand signaling made impossible in this situation, you shout for Guide to commune with the Grove Maiden. Immediately, she releases spores toward the Grove Maiden who looks up for the first time, acknowledging your presence. The advancing vines pause as Guide and the Grove Maiden communicate silently. Then Guide communicates, "Retreat now," and the plants allow you to leave the grove.

Walking away, Guide conveys that she now knows how to find 'Mother'. But while she seems hopeful about it, you note a strong feeling of sadness radiating from her. When asked about it, she tries to translate what she just learned. The Deepwood border is getting nearer and nearer to the grove. This may be the last generation of A'Dendri the Grove Maiden is growing. Then she will become landless, expelled by her people never to return.
