Rikka loosens the katana in its sheath. She slides her feet back from of the stirrups, controlling them now with just her toes, in case she has to dismount quickly. She regards her allies, seeing their states of readiness. "Perhaps this town is centered on an old tree... or this could get interesting."
She keeps her horse moving forward slowly while she waits on their reactions. She looks to Mael, having noted his preference for flanking with his bow. She nods at a series of rooftops, silently asking if he plans to take an over-watch position. In the meantime, she watches every window, alley, and rooftop for any sign of movement.
Perception 1d20+10
Maeltheron Timmerond |
Maeltheron will attempt to silently position himself on a rooftop overlooking the tree in the center of town.
Stealth: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (3) + 18 = 21
Pereception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28
Climb: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

Rikka Rask |
After everyone is ready, Rikka nudges her horse into a leisurely walk down the middle of the street, heading towards the center of town - where she can see the top of the tree. She sits loosely in the saddle, rocking along with the movement of the horse - one hand on the reins, the other resting on her knee, well away from the hilt of her katana. She proceeds without hurry into the town's center.

Alen dismounts, clambering up on a building on the left flank of the group, straining to locate the source of the laughter.
Climb 1d20 + 6
Perception 1d20 + 11
Stealth 1d20 + 12.
You see the same thing, a man holding a bow who seems to be exchanging jokes with a talking tree.

Walking into the center of town you see a man having a good time with what looks to be a living tree. They both stop laughing as you come into view and take up arms, the man draws his bow on you and calls out "HALT! What is your business here?"
Alenthyn |
Alenthyn's eyes are drawn to the tree-thing, and he tries to bring to mind any strengths or weaknesses they should know about it should this encounter turn violent.
Looking to ID strengths/weaknesses of the tree-thing. Using Nature since it seems most appropriate.
Knowledge: Nature 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17.
Rikka Rask |
Rikka considers the man's words for a moment before reining in her horse to a near standstill.
Her voice is tinged with curiosity about the outlander's behavior. "You've a strange way of greeting visitors... particularly one that heard your laughter and chose to make herself known without drawing weapons." She glances at the compound longbow over her shoulder to make her point. "I'm Rikka Rask. I'm on the trail of some shadow creatures that laid waste to a town called Bosh some miles from here. Also, I'm dogging the steps of some other adventurers on the same mission. Have you greeted them just as warmly?"
While the man decides whether to fire on her or not - and the choice seems to faze her little - Rikka looks around the town square with interest. Her eyes fall on the archer's strange companion. "You're a handsome tree. What type are you?"

To clear things up
Maeltheron is on the top of a house about 60 ft behind Rikka
Alenthyn is on top of a house about 40 feet to Rikka's right
Arelia is 20 feet behind Rikka on a horse.
Rikka is approaching the man on foot.
The man and the tree are both 100 feet from you. There is a large pile of bodies to their right, your left. There are various things littering the sides of the path from you to them, overturned wheelbarrows, water troughs and things of the sort but the actual path is relatively clear.

Wood burns. You can't really think of anything else, saplings are delicate and only the lucky ones or the ones that are cared for grow to size but trees, actual trees are incredibly hardy.

"You've a strange way of greeting visitors... particularly one that heard your laughter and chose to make herself known without drawing weapons."
The man lowers his bow a notch but keeps it drawn in your direction. "It may seem strange to you but since the last ones to pay a visit seemed to be a little less than human you'll understand my caution."

"Unless another group of us made it through that first night I'm pretty sure you're looking at them. We left Bosh several days ago, how is it that you find yourselves here?"

"Tree's don't really care what kind of tree you are. I'm still surprised that there are different names for you things that walk on two legs, you all look the same to me."
