[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 7832826, member: 7015827"] Late that afternoon, the four returned to the guest house, helping a groaning Marik to his room. Aerikoth emerged from his own room, having noted the return of the others. While everyone had been out, Jandrico's workmen had entered the guest house and placed the new furniture and other items requested. The adventurers, minus a recovering Marik, gathered in the common room, where Aerikoth asked how the others' venture had gone. Rahnee said that the experience had been quite interesting, looking to Brok-Tul. The half-orc explained that they had talked to a tree - which had talked back, and had asked them not to mention the conversation to others. [I](This is likely a reference to an encounter with a treant. It seems none in the group had previous experience with wild forests and their magical protectors. --C)[/I] In addition to that, Brok-Tul and Marik had been affected by an old stone block, which had caused Brok-Tul's bloodlust to rise against Rahnee and had caused Marik to act strangely as well; neither Rahnee nor Jokull were affected, however. The tree told them that Brok-Tul and Marik had the "feral beast" within them, which the stone was able to call to.
