Ezio moves up to join Krav. "By the dents in the armor, it couldn't have been the grungs, they lack the strength. Unless they utilized some kind of bludgeoning trap, but, again, where could they have gotten the strength to set objects heavy enough up? I don't take them for the type to figure out a pulley." He looks over the closest warriors' wounds to try to reason out what killed them. That's when he notices the tree, "Wait, don't cross under its branches!" Is that an ent?
Investigation (trying to figure out what killed the soldiers, he thinks the tree might have done it): 8

The way the sun is shining down through the trees and reflecting off the warrior's armor and the distance of the body you are having a hard time trying to figure out what killed it.
"Everyone stand back, if it is an ent, I'm going to try to wake it, possibly converse with it as well." Ezio backs up so that the tree is 30 feet away from him and he's out of reach of any branches. He calls out in a flowing language. If the tree does not respond in any way, he manifests a spectral hand to go to the trunk of the tree and shake some branches lightly.
In Sylvan he says, "Greetings elder, I am of the People. Is this your territory?"
If no response, he uses Mage Hand to shake a branch from the furthest distance possible.

As you call out in Sylvan and cast your spell the wind begins to pick up. As your spectral hand reaches for a branch and begins to shake it lightly a leaf falls to the ground.
"Maybe not, best to be careful though...and avaricious." Ezio says with a grin. Summoning another spectral hand, he has it move over to the dead wand user and grab the book near her body, returning it to Ezio's waiting hand.
The spectral hand floats over to the dead magic user and reaches out to grab the book, as the hand lifts the book and floats it back towards Ezio nothing happens and the book is now in your possession.
As Ezio looks over the book for any magical wards or traps he doesn't seem to find any. The book is a little larger than a normal tome and is made out of some strange leathery skin with dark red magical looking symbols all over the cover. It has a small lock on it that you didn't notice until it was in your hand.

"Hey Lizard, you're from the jungle right? do you have any way to communicate with that tree? "
Krav frowns.
"An ent? Hmm..." he says, staring at the tree.
Investigation: 13
And that's all I have to say about that.
I can't communicate with the tree but maybe I can find a messsssssage....
Are there any Druid message things my character notices?
Vyth will make a perception check for any other creature, traps, or harmful plants: 13
From where Krav and Vyth are standing they don't notice any man-eating plants or hidden druidic messages.

"Not an ent, then, I think."
And that's all I have to say about that.

Ezio's eyes gleam eagerly as he looks gazes at the book. In contrast his hands move carefully over the book as he scans it for magical wards.
Arcana: 10
Vyth will move up to the bodies and investigate them one by one unless someone wants to help me

"Wait!" Krav calls out as Vyth walks into the clearing.
Ah, well, he thinks, as it is too late.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Ezio runs his hand over the leather of the book, trying to identify its origins.
Nature: 4
As he finishes, expecting it, Vyth walks past him into the clearing. "Stop--"
How many bodies are there? You said there were 6 but described 5
Something terrible happened here and I think it would be best if we leave it alone and avoid this place, leave the dead to rest and move on
