Knotfather, The Deep Grain
Combat level 1 · a world boss — its health pool scales with the raid that faces it. Its spoils go to those who contribute deeply — wounds dealt and wounds mended count alike — and are still in the fight when it falls; the fallen and the departed claim nothing. The deepest contributors roll for spoils more than once.

How it is fought
A skilling raid: it never strikes back, and nobody can die to it. One swing every 10s, hitting up to the tool's tier, and every point of damage pays 4 Woodcutting XP.
It is fought in 2 phases, each yielding to a different tool. Swinging the wrong one for the phase is always a miss — bring what you have and you can still take your turn.
- tinderbox — a Tinderbox 0–1, Damask Tinderbox 0–5
- hatchet — a Bronze Hatchet 0–1, Deadfall 0–5
When it falls, every woodcutter still at the fight who did their part takes home a spread of every log they can fell — richer the harder they swung, with the rarest kept scarcer — and the deepest contributors roll the standard world-boss spoils on top.
