[QUOTE="megamania, post: 2213132, member: 9255"] EBERRON 04/23/05 SEGMENT 072 “RAIL WRECK” PT 22 The roots rise and fall in and out of the water creating many excellent places for predatory creatures to hide. The druid warns everyone to be on the watch for critters. Looking around, they see the tree is surrounded by dark brown water with areas covered by floating seeds and plants.
