[Spoilers] Meeting the Forest Spirits
GrimmSpector:
I'm deep into the winter, and got this mission from one of the Sages at a nearby village. I found an ants nest, and waited until "Night", and stood on top of the nest and sacrificed a bit of a silver bracelet I'd purchased. Then I sat in a nearby Spruce post I'd setup for the occassion, beside a bonfire I setup to keep me warm. I waited the entire night, and deep into "Early morning". No spirit appeared. Is there a failure chance? Did I do something wrong? Meeting the water spirit was really easy and worked the first try. Silver ain't cheap!

You can find some things to check + some suggestions by the dev here (check for nearby traders/villages which apparently spook the spirit): https://www.unrealworld.fi/forums/index.php?topic=5372.0
This post, in another similar thread suggests visual is important - did you have a big bonfire (or an active torch) to be able to see? https://www.unrealworld.fi/forums/index.php?topic=1206.msg4890#msg4890

I did mention the bonfire in the initial post, it shed light as far as the ant hill and a good area around me. It's possible they spawned in the nearby trees and I could never see them? I don't know.
I don't see any villagers/traders near the area during the day, but I may not always see them on the map. And there's no "activity" in the area I'm at. I'm a good distance from any village or my own settlement.

My bad.

I see. Perhaps try another ant nest (following dev's advice in this post https://www.unrealworld.fi/forums/index.php?topic=5372.msg12972#msg12972 ).
PALU:
While silver can be hard to get hold of early on and is costly, the sacrifice only sacrifices a piece of the silver item, so it's good for a few attempts.
I'd try remaining right beside the ant hill, rather than move away from it, and I'd also try an ant hill away from any construction, which includes post spruces.
I'm not aware of a failure chance for this mission.
It can also be worth noting that the various spirit missions have a much longer timeout than other missions and can also be active in parallel with normal ones, so you can wait until it gets warmer and lighter if you want/need to.
