(Climb 17+1=18) Pulling the rope a few times to make sure it's able to hold his weight, Flynn starts to ascend the wall. The wall is very glibbery, offering no aid to the climber, but making him dirty all the more. The rope seems stable at first, but about halfway the wall, the rope suddenly is released for a few feet. Flynn is barely able to hang on because of the sudden drop. After regaining his hold on the rope and continuing the climbing, Flynn manages to extend his head above most of the trees, receiving a good view of his surroundings.
His nearby surroundings consists nearly entirely of a roof of leaves spawned from the strange trees. Most of them have the lighter colors of yellow and green, but variations exist with some being a very dark green. The red fruits can be seen hanging from the trees that stick out above the rest. Several creatures are visible, sitting on top of the trees. They have long, flat lightgreen bodies with a small head on top. Six very thin limbs stick out of the body, where at least two angles can be seen in each limb, when they kneel down, as they all seem doing. The only distinctive features on the head seem to be a small hole in the bottom and a large yellow spot on the top. One of the creatures has a small yellow tube sticking out of the hole, touching one of the red fruits. The half-elf seems to be drawing a lot of attention, as most turn their head towards him, even though he's not able to spot any eyes.
There are several clearings in the forest. Two rather large open spots (Flynn estimates them to have a diameter of around 20-30 feet) are visible to his right, while two smaller ones (about 10-15 feet in diameter) are to his left. The wall itself passes on left and right for quite a distance, turning round so Flynn can't see it's ends. To the far right, he's able to see a hole in the cliffs, adjacent to the forest. A small clearing sits in front of the hole. Further to his left, a cleared line is visible, starting at the edge of the forest, bounding inwards. If it's a path, it must be wider than this one.
To his far left, on the open see, he sees two ships, not too far away from the island. The Wanderer is the closest ship, facing away from the island. It seems pretty damaged, with most of it's sails and some of it's masts torn apart. The Discoverer, the flagship of the fleet, is a little further away, sailing towards the Wanderer. A third ship is too far away for Flynn to make out any details of it. There is no sign of the other four ships that made up the fleet. At the far horizon he sees a pretty wide shade, perhaps another island.
Drithmyne is busy trying to get his own line stuck at the other side, but the rope keeps coming back. After quite a few attemts, the rope seems stuck, but when he gives a good pull, it comes back anyhow. Dural doesn't see anything coming from anywhere. The sun is about to set. It's going to be dark in an hour or so.
After taking note of his surroundings, Flynn continues for the last bit of the climb. Able to scale, he ends up on top of the wall, which is about two feet thick, but round and very glibbery, so he needs hold of the rope to stay put. A smell reaches his nostrils, quite different from the odor of trees that hangs in the forest. It's rather pleasent, smelling like flowers, though there's a small dusturbance in it that is not as pleasant, which Flynn is unable to place.
The first thought that strikes Flynn when he sees the area in front of him is that of a large building. However, that thought is soon discarded as he can see only plantlife. The glibbery wall he hangs on seems to be making a circle in the middle of the island, though to his right, the wall runs into the cliffs but comes out at the other side. He can't see the wall opposite of where he is now, though. There seem to be two small holes in the wall a little away and somewhat further away towards his left.
The ground between the wall is covered with all sorts of weeds in yellow and lightgreen. Most are resembling grass, but other sorts appear here and there as well. Some small fruitstecks are visible here and there, with fruits Flynn never even heard about, but most stecks are losing terrain to the weeds. Several creatures inhabit the area. Some of them are snakes, up to a foot in length, with yellow and lightgreen skincolors. There's some of the red sixlegged salamanderlike creatures moving about, burying their holes as they did on the beach, only less agile now. Grasshoppers or something alike them jump around. There's a small group of five creatures close to the wall to the far left, looking like miniature versions of the creatures that attacked you before, being about 2 feet in length not couting the tail. Two of them seem to be eating a snake and a salamander.
In the middle of the area is what seem to be a group of trees. Eight trees, each easily about fifty feet high and fifteen feet wide at the base, stand in a circle with about thirty feet in between each tree. Like the other trees, they have no branches, but large thorns are sticking out. Each thorn is a few feet in length and there seem to be an ample amount of the thorns on each tree. Large patches of darkgreen glue or slime are covering the trees. Each tree has several holes of about five feet in diameter, always facing directly away from the circle. Each two adjacent trees are always connected by a lot of thick growth, something like a lot of branches and leaves stretching out from one tree to another. This goes up to about thirty feet, upon where a horizontal plateau is formed by the branches and leaves. Somehow the whole thing seems to be a little too straight all in all to be purely a work of nature.
As the halfelf looks over the wall to see what's directly beneath him, he discovers what's holding his rope. Four creatures, also miniatures of the creatures that attacked earlier, with a length of about three feet not counting the tail, are positioned down the wall. Two of the four creatures are holding the rope with their beaks. The two start making squawking sounds with their beaks, releasing the ropes as they do so, while the other two run towards a small hole, only about a feet in diameter that's in the wall Flynn now notices that's only about thirty feet to the right. With the rope released and the wall too glibbery to take hold of, Flynn starts gliding back to the group, making hard contact with the ground (3 dmg).
