I could hammer throw you over
"I can lift myself like I do rocks, but can't really do that with other people well. Well do it without throwing them." Penith says.
Penith flies over with the end of a rope, secures it on something, if there is something that is, and then gives the others a thumbs up, ready to try and catch them if they fall to their deaths. If nothing else should could throw them at that point back to the rope.
Trevor is ready to sacrifice his body FOR SCIENCE!
"I can make you all fly as much as I want to see people get hucked."
Trevor hammer-throws Atajay at Penith. Batter up!
You all manage to get across the chasm with no difficulty into a bare rubble strewn area.
Moving on the basalt walls widen to form an artificial gorge. A massive twisted willow tree stands here. A strange azure moss grows in patches over and in between breaks in its ebony bark. Beyond the tree and in the distance to the south, the ravine rises and flattens out as the basalt structures give way to an entirely different landscape- as if this were some environmental demarcation point.
Betcha a copper that tree is going to try to eat us. Go around?
"A copper that it is the moss that is the real problem."
Detect magic and for dangers.
Senn you detect 5 magical auras. Looking closer you can see that there is a body tucked beneath the roots of the tree and that the branches of the tree seem to move against the wind.
Know. Nature
Atajay you recognise the creature as a form of willow dusk but you are unable to recall anything else about it
We can just go around if there is room.
"I grew up in a wasteland dispute the pack of animals and filthy hides I know nothing about nature."
How about Bitey? He should know a lot about the world. He is a well traveled raptor.
Well it looks like we are fighting unless we can fly over. Trevor gets his bow out.
I think every that can make it has tried. So let's get shot by a tree.
"Trevor, shoot the tree see if it attacks us."
Trevor engages in tree abuse
Trevor's arrow strikes the tree and it starts to move
The inquisitor calls upon powerful magic and casts Flame Strike on the tree.
Damage
DC 17 Reflex for half.
The night willow moves forward and readies to attack
Domeric begins his song!
Penith is not exactly sure what rock works best against a tree. So she sends the first one at it that her mind wraps around.
Trevor fires arrows!
Senn casts Divine Favor on Bitey. Then she sends her to attack.
Penith's rock flies through the air and smashes into the tree. Trevor's arrows both miss. Then Bitey darts across and tears and claws at the trunk.
Ataajay activates his judgments, ready to open up with an arrow assault next round, if the tree survives.
Down with trees!
[i]The night willow attacks Bitey
"Bad tree!" Penith states with much conviction as she sends another rock its way.
Trevor leaps in defense of his lizard friend and charges!
The tree just manages to deflect Penith's rock but it is not able to do so with Trevor's hammer and the blow strikes it dealing a significant amount of damage.
Bitey continues her assault after taking a few solid hits (31). The damage shared amount the team.
Domeric maintains his song and speeds up the party!
Bitey tears and bites and the treem, tearing it to pieces.

”I think I could put that armor to good use, unless one of you would prefer to wear it,” Atajay says, holding up the magical splint Mail.
Let Bitey have the Haversack!
Senn put the back pack on Bitey.
"I will stick a few useful times that she can run to people in there."
Penith slides up next to Bitey, sporting her own haversack, and looking like true backpack Twins with the majestic beast.
Onwards!
Cassilda beckons you onwards and takes you to a large stone portal that she says will lead you to the next nexus. Stepping through you find yourselves on a large country estate with a mansion house nearby. The manor is a three story mansion that unlike many structures in Carcosa is well maintained. An expansive lawn with a half circle drive allows coaches to arrive at the front. Behind the property is a stone patio with steps that descend to a fountain and the entrance of a hedge maze. The hedges have grown tall and wild. Ivy encroaches on the patio and fountain where it shouldn't. The southeast corner of the house is a domed ballroom. The home is clearly lit and ready for guests.
”This mansion is more like it. Could we just stay here and sleep for a few days?”
Let's just burn it down and sift through the ashes! What? I mean we'd avoid all those nasty monsters.
Senn will cast detect magic and have her familiar scout from the air to look ahead for any dangers.
Nothing detects as magical. Senn your familiar spots several figures wandering around the grounds, they appear to be humanoid
