When you chop down like a bazzilion trees, it will trigger a message from the treants in which they ask you to return some of the wood chopped down. If you refuse, a large number of treants will attack you, and that’s it.
Edit: to be more specific, it triggers when you have a large amount of wood in your inventory (not necessary in storages; those laying about after trees got chopped down also count).
Yep, that’s what happened. I don’t remember it happening before, though. And nothing further has happened. I was kinda hoping for a new series of events - that this was one of the secrets mentioned in last week’s DT.
Oh, yeah. I was just clearing small areas for houses and such and got tired of running low, so I cleared a whole bunch outside my fences on several levels. I think it said I had just over 1k logs lying around.
