I do believe that's the first time I have ever seen that spell used...

Is that hallucinatory terrains? I know the 3e version specifically does not cover people but my memory is that older versions were specifically turning people into illusory trees (with an accompanying illustration in one edition). Am I remembering correctly?

Definitely the first time I've ever seen Tree Shape used:
By means of this spell, you are able to assume the form of a Large living tree or shrub or a Large dead tree trunk with a small number of limbs. The closest inspection cannot reveal that the tree in question is actually a magically concealed creature. To all normal tests you are, in fact, a tree or shrub, although a detect magic spell reveals a faint transmutation on the tree. While in tree form, you can observe all that transpires around you just as if you were in your normal form, and your hit points and save bonuses remain unaffected. You gain a +10 natural armor bonus to AC but have an effective Dexterity score of 0 and a speed of 0 feet. You are immune to critical hits while in tree form. All clothing and gear carried or worn changes with you.
You can dismiss tree shape as a free action (instead of as a standard action).
That Dex = 0 is rough if you want to dodge an incoming ninja star.

2 problems. 1: You need to be either a druid or a ranger to cast the spell (and we all know belkar isn't around and even if he was, he can't cast squat) and 2: Your equipment changes too.
I'm guessing V is a good 800 feet away working an illusion right over top of the people.
