Neil1889: [sblock="Lilli"] Lilli takes a good long look at barrier. It is some 15' wide and about as tall as she is. Most of it composed of massive vines - some as thick as her leg, all lined with oversized jagged barbs. Entire thing moves slowly, rotating around the center - place where party is.
Many of these thorns are lined with tiny barbs leaking some sort of greenish fluid - even without further observation, Lilli would bet it is poison and probably nasty one as well.
Entire barrier radiates strong primal magic and Lilli wouldn't be surprised if it is capable of lashing out, grappling with vines or otherwise make life miserable to anyone in the vicinity.
However, it is not all that bad - dexterous man (or smaller being) would be able to squeeze through holes between vines, those in affinity with natural world would likely be able to calm thing for a moment to allow themselves passage and well... brute force could always work as would direct attacks against the thing - while thick and probably harder then it looks, it is certainly not indestructible. All of these things will likely take a while however.

- nature, acrobatics and endurance are best bet, other skills might work with some creativity; direct damage might work as well, but thing is not really soft; in every case, progress will take time - assume two move actions to bypass every square of barrier (one to take chances with more difficult skill rolls). Each attempt is likely to cause low damage, mild (and no progress) if attempt fails. And yeah, thing might actually attack.

Merry laughter stops for a moment as creature becomes visible - she sits on large branch of one of trees no more then 20' from barrier, dangling her legs like child having immense fun. Sharp features, autumn brown skin and flawless features definitely mark her as some sort of fey being - probably dryad or nymph of some sort. Her long black hair flows as if driven by wind that does now blow and her eyes are glowing emerald green and seem to gaze with curiosity rather then hostility. Clothed in little more then autumn leaves and crystallized mist, she doesn't seem at least frightened or impressed by band of adventurers in front of her.
"Greetings to you as well, strange things. You intrude upon this place and earth does not like your presence, especially yours <she points at Martelai>, you stink. What brings gray, sober things of gray worlds here - have you come to play? I can hear hunting horns and baying of hounds... have you come join the Hunt? Oh no... you are the prey, right? So fun... so fun! <childish laughter>"

Definitely some sort of female fey. You would bet on dryad or nymph (fact that scholars seem to mix these creatures all the time doesn't help one bit). Of creatures of Fey, this one is most likely 'in tune' with season of Spring - behaviour matches it as well - while these things are not very violent or aggressive, she probably won't take anything you do very seriously (even if you decide to attack her). You would expect at least some level of druidic magic from her, probably control over water and wind as primary, but shapeshifting and hefty amount of mind control is not out of question.
