Torrent joins in.Shaylir attempts to climb the tree but finds it too difficult in her initial attempt. Her attempt gives her a very close view of the stone tree, though. She based on fine tool and polishing marks she determines that it was definitely not once a live tree that was turned to stone.After seeing Shaylir's failed attempt to climb the tree, Arshen decides to take matters into his own hands. He easily climbs up into the tree branches. The higher branches are more challenging to climb than if the tree were alive because the rigid stone leaves and twigs can't be pushed out of the way. Up in the top branches he finds two dead, desiccated bodies, a man and a woman, both elves. The bodies are tangled up in the branches and have nooses of dry-rotted rope around their necks. There are also two branches above them with dry-rotted rope tied to them. It looks like the bodies were hanged years ago. Later when the rope dried and fell apart the stone branches kept the bodies from hitting the ground.While the party is busy, Hollister is lost in thought. He wracks his brain for anything he can recall about Anyariel. As he walks, lost in thought, he notices a flash of metal on the ground. Inspecting it he sees it's a silver ring with dancing flames on both the outside and inside. He picks up the ring and finds that it's noticeably warm to the touch. Eventually he pieces together stories he's heard that originated refugees who left Innenotdar about when the Ragesian Scourge first came to forest. In addition to what he's <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/playing-game/275013-pneumatiks-war-burning-sky-campaign-saga-2-indomitable-fire-forest-innenotdar-12.html#post5241796" target="_blank">already recalled</a> he remembers that Anyariel wielded a greatsword carved of wood. With it she defeated many monsters, including a blackguard from Ragesia and a rampaging golem of white clay. The last foe she faced was a great stag that would not die, no matter how many wounds she dealt to it. She pinned the creature to the bottom of a lake with her sword so its rampage would end.Hollister returns to the group to share what he remembered as Arshen descends the tree. Before either of those two can talk, Liiros shouts, "Aha! Look, there's a door here."Torrent examines the tree where Liiros is point. "Yeah, but how do we open it? There's no latch or lock or anything." More searching does not reveal any opening mechanisms.[sblock=Rhun]I don't think the name Anyariel has come up earlier. The only place I could think it might have shown up (and I don't know this for certain) is in the player's guide. If it's not there I think you're being confused by your Jedi. You must be a weak-minded fool.[/sblock]</blockquote>
