The village lay hidden in a secret grotto that is set in a sort of valley between trees. The village is populated by child-like peoples who wear clothes made of various plant matter such as large leaves and vines. The homes are made of wood, and seemingly blend into the green dense backdrop.

I plan to turn the queen into an aardvark. I am planning to steal the kingdom. I can cast a transfiguration spell from three villages away.
You there. Do you know where I can find a colony of carpenter ants in this wood?  Hmmm, carpenter ants, you say? I would look for them around the trees and vines that way. Ah yes. Right I'm sure. Between you an me I have a plan.  A plan involving carpenter ants? Sounds riveting. Ah ha ha ha ha ha. Yes yes. I plan to turn the queen into an aardvark.  And then? Wouldn't you like to know? You have some interesting questions for an average person.  I'm not your average person, I'll have you know. You ought to show some respect when talking to me, especially since I helped you with your little ant supply problem! Oh really? And who might you be pray tell.  Nice try, wizard. I know spells only work if you know a person's true name. I'll be keeping that bit of information to myself! Oh you think you know a wizard's code. I'll have you know I can cast a transfiguration from three villages away. I could turn you into a chicken right this very moment.  Funny, the only chicken I see here is you! Needs an assistant for a walk in the woods! Some great, powerful wizard you must be!
