Sapphira, on that roll of 25, as you approach the massive tree, you reach about 40 feet from its massive trunk, you look up and you notice three bodies hanging in the high limbs of the massive tree. Also, on that 25, you determine that they are in various states of decay. 1 is about a week old and the other two seem to have been killed at least a month or more by the outward look of the bodies.

"..." It's enough to give a person pause, though if Fira feels especially revolted she doesn't show it. Instead, she nudges Rhaemy, pointing up at the bodies. "Hey, those friends of yours?"

does it look like they were hung buy people, or stuck up there by an animal?Jun 8, 2026 5:51 am
OOC:
You can't tell at this distance. Closer observation and investigation will determine that. May be a medicine check once you are able to view the bodys.Jun 8, 2026 6:07 am
Jayne squints as she looks up; "Well, I dont think we have time to give them a proper burial, but a also feel weird camping for the night under them. Any ideas?

OOC:
Would it be an Athletics roll to climb up and cut them down? Alternatively,would it take an attack roll for me to throw my dagger and cut the bindings holding them up like that?Jun 8, 2026 12:48 pm
Before we do anything, lets check for immediate danger. I can cast Detect Magic near the tree, and see if there is anything more than it seems, perhaps we could see if there are other paths than the one we are on?
OOC:
I'd like to get close-ish to the tree (<30ft) and cast [ +- ] Detect Magic p323 2Actions cantrip

"Good idea." Jayne says. "I'll have a look around myself." She adds, and walks the grounds, looking for anything out of place.

Rhaemy studies the bodies for a few moments, but ultimately ends up shaking her head.
"If they do belong to my order, they aren't ones that I am familiar with. They could also be local hunters or woodsmen as well. Hard to say for certain either way without getting them down for a closer inspection."

Moving slowly and wary of the stories of pit traps, Sheon will check the ground and undergrowth for additional tracks about the tree, i.e. can he see signs of anyone or anything dragging the bodies to the tree or heading away from it.

You move to within 30 feet of the massive tree and you see large, naturally forming piles of leaves at its base, higher at the trunk and then receding as the piles of leaves reaches further out.
Suddenly, from out of the pile of leaves comes a serpentine creature, about 12 to 14 feet long from nose to tail tip, and weighing about 400 pounds.
It has a row of long spines running along its back from head to tail, as well as scaly dewlaps at its throat.
This wyrm has two arms, with claws at the end of each hand allowing them to easily climb trees. A long, powerful, and flexible tail extends beyond these arms.
