Have the characters start at 1st level, you can also bump them up to 2nd, if you want to make it a bit easier. They should end the adventure at around 3rd or 4th level, depending on how they play the game
The animals are easy to stat. Lazily, just grab any beast and put in Blood Frenzy, and it works out nicely.
For the humanoids, I have the Azaleans (the regular villagers) and the Lost Souls (the 'turned' ones). I'll start with the Azalean "base", as the only difference is that Lost Souls have the Blood Frenzy ability.
*Azaleans*, Medium Humanoid, CR 1/2
AC 12, HP 36 (8d8), Spd 30
Str 15, Dex 13, Con 10, Int 10, Wis 13, Cha 8

They feel kinda like elves but their savagery is captured by the calws and their higher-than-normal HP pools
*Raun the Sawyer*, Large Fiend, CR 4

Raun is like the miniboss, and the Azaleans are really just the villagers and I just came up with the stat blocks in case the party decides to kill one of them

Innate Spellcasting: +7, DC 15
at-will: Detect Thoughts, Mirror Image, Fire Bolt (2d10), Frostbite(2d6)

at-will: Detect Thoughts, Mirror Image, Fire Bolt (2d10), Frostbite(2d6)
2/day each: Ice Knife, Command, Burning Hands
1/day: Phantasmal Force
Superior Mirror Image. If an attack hits a mirror image, the attack is redirected to another target within 5 feet of Zalentoah, if there are no valid target, the attack still misses Zalentoah but one mirror image is gone. If there are more than 1 valid targets, roll randomly to determine who is hit.
Actions:
Withering Touch +7, 2d4 necrotic damage
Legendary Actions (2/round):
Cast a spell (except mirror image) - 2 actions
Cast a Cantrip - 1 action
Withering Touch - 1 action
Withering Touch +7, 2d4 necrotic damage
Legendary Actions (2/round):
Cast a spell (except mirror image) - 2 actions
Cast a Cantrip - 1 action
Withering Touch - 1 action
True Name Hypersensitivity: If Zalentoah's name is spoken aloud within 100 feet of him, he loses his Superior Mirror Image feature for 1 day.
honestly, Zalentoah's spell list could use a little tweak. Ice Knife and Burning Hands look really weak and doesnt fit the flavor of this guy. That's up to you, now!
*Blood Vines*
Trigger: If the PCs damage the Blood Vines, blood is splattered in a 10ft cube around the attacker (potentially getting 2 PCs if they're too close together.
Effect: Affected targets must make a DC 15 Wis ST or gain one level of 'Anguish'. A successful saving throw only decreases 'Anguish' by 1 if the blood is wiped clean off the target first, otherwise, a successful saving throw does nothing.
Anguis levels:
1 - RP effect. begins to cry uncontrollably, but otherwise fine.
2 - Incapacitated and cannot move while sobbing

Anguis levels:
1 - RP effect. begins to cry uncontrollably, but otherwise fine.
2 - Incapacitated and cannot move while sobbing
Countermeasures: The amount of blood on affected targets depends on the amount of damage dealt to the vines (if you want, you can get really technical with this but I'm lazy so I went with...). Wiping all the blood clean off requires 10 Actions which can be shared by other PCs. A casting of Prestidigitation is equivalent to 3 Actions. Using a spell slot to clean the blood off (like Create Water, or something) is equivalent to 5 Actions of wiping. //It's a great resource sink
