Petcan gestures with a thumb to Bow. "He's right. There first. Then we'll come up with a plan."

Ooc. While the party head to the Colonists, Zenodor sends Irraxan towards the Natives to check on them. If we need him back, we can use the usual pocket dimension return travel trick. Given the shorter distance he should be able to check on them before the main party gets back to the landing site. 

"It seems they truly left the area." Tempe follows the group occasionally ritually casting speak with animals asking for signs of the deadly plants  

Bow initiative: 10

Tempe Initiative : 24

Randall:

”Peace be upon you, guardian of the forest—what has upset you so?” asks Randall, unwilling to attack what is possibly an enchanted or misled nature warden.

Initiative:  6

Insight:  25

OOC:  Calm Emotions calls out both “humanoids” and “creatures” in different locations.  If Randall thinks it will work on the Treant, he will give it a try.

Zenodor initiative 23

Petcan initiative 20 

Z thinks that there may be some misunderstanding here, and doesn't really want to kill a guardian tree of the island. He struggles for an instant and then decides to attempt to temporarily incapacitate it, to allow the party a brief pause to consider their actions carefully - or even to just run away.

Z casts Banishment, save CHA16. If the tree fails the save, it will be placed incapacitated in a harmless demi plane for 1 minute, which would give us time to work out what to do

(ok. Im actually surprised that worked. I presume Z would know if it will be permanently banished? I.e. if it was on its home plane instead of a demiplane, if it was not native to this plane.

Also, do we have to keep taking our 10 turns each? Or can we just RP our plan and actions? Talking is a free action anyway, is it now?)

(10 turns of dashing can put us easily 600ft away. We can then just carry on. Or we could prepare ourselves, e.g. by putting some barrier (broken tree branches and rocks etc?) around where the Treant will re-appear. Which might make it easier to talk to it. And we could withdraw a bit to let our Druid do the negotiations here?)

Tempe says a few arcane words and a sword of flame appears in his hand "I would parley, but we should move a good distance away. I don't understand why it thinks we're messing its Island up" he gets ready to use a ki point to dash. Depending on the groups action.

ooc: Apparently there's a Druid or some spell caster behind this so, up to you guys

(I vote for putting some distance between us and it. Presumably we can go to some safe-ish distance dar enough to allow escape but close enough to call/shout to it. Maybe some high ground nearby? Tempe, our Druid, could always stay a bit closer to parlay with it.)

Randall:

"Yes, let us back off and allow the treant time and space to calm down.  Perhaps it knows something about the wandering Purplewraiths..." agrees Randall, adding, "Have you got this, Tempe?"

"Maybe it knows something. We should talk to it." Petcan says, looking around at the others.

"Agreed. And this tree certainly could not have left those shoe prints. Perhaps we share a common enemy?"

"It may be more enraged when it comes back" Tempe says with thought "But I will try." He walks to what he thinks is a safe distance and waits.

Z (and the others?) withdraw to a safe distance.

"Just give the word when you are ready, and I will drop the spell - which will make it return"

ooc: Was there anything Tempe noticed in the brief time with the tree 12 Perception 

Tempe flies up staying out of reach (Hopefully) "Guardian we wish to Parley." forceful presence 9 Persuasion
