They find out that the "Spirit of the Forest" or "Moss-Where-Heart-Was" as the Grippli call him, is actually a druid called Thaddeus "Ted" Bramble who was spliced into this tree during a magical mishap long ago. He hears of the issues with the logging company and confirms that he's sensed it and could feel the trees dying, he has a symbiotic relationship with them and these lands as part of his circumstances.

The giant crab is in the clearing near the tree, with its limbs curled in resting and watching the party, guarding Ted; it turns out that this was a Grippli that had "ascended", choosing to become a forest guardian when the old one died. Ted advises them that he is able to use the strange arcane power of the forest to transmute volunteer Grippli into a guardian for the forest that he can exert some control over and guide.

The Grippli worship him as a god and feed him their magic imbued healing waters that help to maintain his humanoid biology.

The power comes from the arcane wellspring under the land, a naturally occurring font of power that was locked inside the earth, until magical surveyors from VEC arrived in the region a century or two ago, started fiddling with these arcane syphon/drill apparatuses and broke the seal on it. Wild magic eruptions started happening at random, causing widespread chaos in the region, destroying the local town of Jerusalem etc and as a druid, he came to investigate the imbalance in nature. He found a surveyor and small team attempting to use the drill again to attempt to extract magical energy from the wellspring into gemstones. Ted attempted to stop them and cast a spell to destroy the drill, unfortunately, the wildmagic caused his spell to go awry and caused a terrible explosion that killed the VEC personnel and when he woke, he was merged with this tree.

Its roots connect to the other trees in the forest and into the wellspring itself, giving him awareness and some control over the land; he was able to direct the growth of the trees that had absorbed magical energy over a long time into a natural patch on the wellspring, restoring stability to the region. Now that VEC are back, have rediscovered the area and previous team's research, they are all at tremendous risk again as they weaken the seal and attempt to re-tap the wellspring for its power.
