An arrogant young captain of a small outpost fell in love with a dryad (or nymph), although she did not reciprocate. When she would not relent his love turned bitter and he captured her, with the aid of an evil witch, and imprisoned her in the dungeon below the outpost. There he allowed her to be used by his men for sport. Eventually the curse of the Fey Queen put an end to him and his men, but due to the precautions of the witch she could not rescue the dryad.
Imprisoned, tortured, anchored by an evil artifact made from her tree, she went crazy and became....what?
Homebrew setting, first or second level party, the PCs investigation of bandits leads them to the old keep. They discover that the bandits are slowly falling to the curse of the Queen of Ravens - turning into tengu-like beings who unwittingly defend the dryad still imprisoned. A few other things - raven swarms, a bear turned young owlbear, a mountain lion turned young raven-themed griffon, a few haunts, maybe some undead versions of the long dead soldiers, or the ghost of the captain who killed himself rather than succumb to the curse - but I need help with what the dryad(or nymph) has become.
Any suggestions?
