Hi Dave,

I think, your encounter is an vampire. One of my characters (Woodman,
emissary, rank 35) had the same encounter at the northwestern edge of
Mirkwood, but with a few more possibilities to react (e.g. ASK about
errand). I chose APOLOGIZE and failed! The vampire said something about
quests/tasks/exercises for the dark side (the exact words I can't remember)
and started to suck the blood of my character. To my surprise he survived
the attack with health = 1 (I don't know why; really!). The encounter
happened two turns ago so I can't say anything about consequences (e.g.
character becomes vampire, too). Unfortunately I can't say 'Your encounter
is definitely not an ent', because I never met such a NPC. But my vampire
encounter started with the same words you wrote in your message.
