Woodcutter’s Problem – Temple of Elemental Evil Quest

This guide covers a quest in Hommlet for Temple of Elemental Evil. This guide has the main map for the Village of Hommlet, and it is complete with a legend that has a walkthrough of the relevant points.

Feel like doing battle with a pair of giant spiders? If so, then you may wish to tackle this minor but fun quest. Go to the Woodcutter’s cottage at #16 and speak with Tarim outside. He’ll tell you of his need to use the Deklo Grove as a source of fine wood, but is reluctant to go due to the spiders in the area. If you offer to help him, he’ll show you where the grove is on your World Map, and you’ll be able to travel there at anytime to complete this quest.

The grove has two spiders that should provide a challenging yet manageable encounter for a level one party. See below for details.

When it’s over, come back to speak with Tarim and you’ll receive your xp.
