Involvement

Act One

Tahan is at the Sacred Pool of the Emerald Grove. She is loyal to  Kagha and resents both the party and tiefling refugees for bringing violence to their gates, a view she adheres to even if Kagha's alliance with the Shadow Druids is brought to light.

Bugs

• Due to an incorrect method of applying additional spell slots to Tahan's character stats, she only enters combat with one  Level 2 Spell Slot.
