Kirio moves forward 5 feet (S7), his music pauses as he takes a deep breath "Nothing special about those logs... other than they are very heavy" and continues playing.
An offer...
As the last stag dissipates, a huge gust of hot wind roars down the road. The wall of fire behind you disappears instantly and the flames covering the fallen trees flare up.
You hear whispers amid the trees, snatches of words coming from all directions, growing louder and more intense all around until finally a booming voice shouts from the flaming trees: 'Come!' it roars. Follow the river. Set me free!
The flames on the fallen trees blockading the road flare as a draconic face emerges, shaped of fire, its head adorned with a massive crown of jagged horns. The image then fades so only a pair of eyes remain. A voice enters your minds, deep, fiery, burning with restrained anger. Know this: I am the flame, and I am a prisoner here. Save me, free me from the prison of this enforced flesh, and you may continue to your destination. Refuse, and never shall you leave this wood. You shall be a prisoner for as long as I. You shall burn forever, and never die.

Alric sighs heavily, exhausted and in no mood for more devilry. His face is a stoic one with a hint of annoyance and fatigue, but it masks the knot in the pit of his stomach. His face is a mask covering the the fear of whatever this mysterious and obviously potent power is.
"A compelling offer..." and with that he sheathes his sword and begins to walk down the river. "Better to know exactly what we're dealing with. Any ideas my friends of loremastery?" addressing Kirio and Arnir.
Alric then turns to Lars having realized what just transpired. "You saw the stag before they appeared? How... ?" Alric shakes his head realizing he does not truly know this mousy little man and gazes at him apprehensively. "Thank you my friend... for the warning."

"Can a man not just walk through a magically burning forest in peace and quiet?"
Asks Bannock, tongue-in-cheek, as he stares at the disembodied eyes. At this point he's seen beasts and horrors with enough frequency that feeling fear of a pair of floating, flaming eyes simply seems unwarranted. Maybe he's starting to go a bit crazy. He looks around at his companions and says,
"Hey, maybe one of you silver-tongues should tell it we'll help if it keeps those evil devils off our backs."

Lars shakes his head and shrugs, "You're welcome, but I have no idea what is happening. I fear the Gods are playing some twisted joke on me."
Lars looks around and call out, "What do you want from us!?"
He points down the road where there was a wall of fire not long ago. "It seems we are puppets. Let's follow the tug of the string." Lars maintains his watchful demeanor, with crossbow loaded and ready to fire.
The voice's response to Lars' call booms in your minds:
“I want you to serve me! End the song of the deep, the song of agony and eternal vigil. Silence the forty tongues who hold me here, who doom themselves with my relentless flame. I am Indomitability. No wound shall ever defeat me. No fire shall ever destroy me and my power can be yours if you release me!"
