Gregori produces a flask of alchemists fire and lobs it at the ooze.
Touch attack
With a fizz and a gurgle and a pretty unpleasant smell, the ooze expires.
There is nothing else of interest in the room. As you press on into the passage to the left, you notice a strange flickering yellow light coming from the an opening to the left ahead, accompanied by an odd groaning, which is punctuated periodically by a mighty bellow and the sound of heavy logs crashing onto stone.
Do you still want to proceed?
Wide-eyed, Roylenna whispers, "What do you think it is?"
Lyria looks concerned. "Maybe it's someone or something who is trying to break a passage or a door here". She shrugs and adds: "And maybe it isn't. Either way we should look into it".
Stopping her inspection of her spear tip to make sure it survived the encounter with the gray ooze, "Not sure but it sounds big." She doesn't even break her stride as she advances to sate her curiosity.
"Hopefully something huge." Tika happily adds increasing her pace to keep up.
Gregori chuckles.
"Now these are what I call women," He says with a grin at Artival and Mahaffy
As you turn the corner and peer into the room, you are met by a strange and horrible sight. A huge burning tree is stomping around the large cave, muttering to itself in a strange mixture of Treant, Ignan and Common.
Linguistics 15:
As it sees you, it charges. Roll for initiative. Battle map coming up.
"Wow huge and on fire."
Initative
Init.
Hesitating as she tries to make sense of the absurd scene, "What do you use against a tree that is already burning?!"
"Termites from the plane of fire?" Gregori quips in response.

"It's saying that it wants to die. It can't figure out why it doesn't burn. Is it like that troll we saw? Those usually burn, too, right?"
Initiative
"Why do you want to die? Are you in pain?"
It turns out that the angry burning tree goes on 0, so you all get to act.
Roylenna: I think you'll need to put out the fire before you can get the tree to even listen to you.

"Does anyone have a way to put out the fire?"

"Does anyone have a way to put out the fire?"
"Nothing that comes to mind."
Lyria mutters some words and points at the attacking burning tree.
Tika inspires courage in the others then waits to see what the others do.
'Guys , the cave with the ooze was dripping with water. Let's go there'
Mahaffy will wait to see if burning trees and ogres are the same subtype

So maybe we can lead it back to the wet cave? How far is it to that cave?
As Lyria's magic seems to have no effect on the raging treant and the rest of you hesitate, the tree charges and flails at Ka'kara with a burning limb. It hits for 15 points of damage (Reflex 21 or catch on fire).
Your turn again.
Tika takes a shot at it with her crossbow
Attack
Damage
Artival sighs as he figured, with no other option, the tree had to be put out of its misery. He fires off a blast of flame at the creature.
Ranged Touch attack
Scorching Ray damage
It struck Ka'Kara !!! No one strike my girls and get to live ! "
Mahaffy will move to M15 and strikes the bad bad tree!
"I don't know why we need to kill the tree. It's in pain, it doesn't know what it's doing! But we can't let it burn my sister, either..."
Roylenna casts Resist Energy (fire) and transfers the protection to the barbarian woman.
Having cast the spell, the tiny woman will retreat so the others can move forward with their weapons if they choose.
Lyria raises her voice in prayer as she heals Ka'kara.
Ka'kara steps forward and thrusts her spear into the burning branches.
Unable to find the room to engage, Gregori focuses, a sun like glow emanating from him to envelop his companions.
Yelm advances and strikes the tree a solid blow, getting swatted for his troubles. Artival's ray strikes the tree but it seems that despite being on fire the tree doesn't know how to burn.
It brings its full rage to bear on Ka'kara, hitting for 29 points of damage. You are up.
Seeing the brutal assault on Ka'kara, Gregori charges forward, blade flashing as he attacks the flaming tree.
Tika steps up to Ka'kara casting a healing spell as she does so
Cure light
That's strange. Why won't it burn? Artival goes back to his reliable magic missle spell, knowing it should strike true on the creature.
Damage
Lyria advances and heals Ka'kara again.
It brings its full rage to bear on Ka'kara, hitting for 29 points of damage. You are up.
Roylenna casts a spell, causing a tiny glowing hand to appear next to her.
Spectral Hand hit points
Artival's magic missiles do hit and Ka'kara is healed somewhat by the combined efforts of Tika and Lyria.
Ka'kara, Yelm and Mahaffy to go, then the tree.
Mahaffy fails to penetrate the thick bark and so does Yelm. Ka'kara delays. The tree is annoyed that Ka'kara won't burn and focuses its wrath on Yelm, hitting him for 36 points of damage, knocking him out.
You are up.
Foregoing her spear Ka'kara takes out her greatsword to cleave deeply into the trunk of the tree.
Lyria raises her holy symbol and channels energy to heal both Yelm and Ka'kara (and anyone else who's hurt).
