Not all druids follow the notion that one must live a life of peaceful coexistence. After all, the animal kingdom is full of conflict and conquest, predator and prey, as well as battles for dominance. Some druids feel, therefore, that to truly emulate nature one must do so fully, including tooth and claw. The problem there is that druids are, by nature, generally on the squishier side and so they needed armour that would protect their vital areas better than their normal robes.
After having her glittering armour stolen from her, Lavernius decided that she was tired of being “Miss Nice Wizard” and crafted a version of the armour that would blend worryingly well into the local scenery. She crept up upon her robbers as they spent an evening trying to prize gemstones from what remained of her helm, and she unleashed her terrible revenge.
Thousands of chinchompas, each of them suffering from a powerful confusion, were turned upon the miscreants. The resulting explosion was so bright that it turned night into day for a moment, and the flames spreads with worrying rapacity.
Later bandits soon agreed that Lavernius was to be given a very wide berth.
