The trickster gods once again have their way with Malichi as he slips from the branch, this time untethered. As he goes over the side, short life flashing in his eyes, one of his feet slips into a small fork of a branch, and he ends up dangling upside down by one foot wedged solidly into the crook. His tunic is hanging down over his head as he struggles to right himself.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Seeing Malichi take a tumble and hearing the ongoing drone from the hornet's nest, Zensiro springs into action and sprints down the branch to aid his unlucky friend.

The ranger manages to keep his footing and reach Malichi, helping pull him back up. Dyumi, rushing to help, seems to hit the same slick spot on the branch that doomed the rogue, and over the side he goes, only to reappear after a moment, thanks to his timely spellcasting.
The three of you are now safely on the branch, the remaining 3 acorns tantalizingly close, the nearby buzzing growing louder by the second.
In his eagerness to please his goddess, Malichi repeatedly neglects to consider the laws of physics, blissfully ignorant of concepts such as friction, momentum and apparently gravity. It is only the quick thinking and steadying grasp of his friend Zensiro that keeps him from plunging into the abyss once again.
Zensiro cuts short his beeline (ba-dum-ching) for the acorns to reach over and grab Malichi as he's about to plunge into the arboreal abyss. "Easy there friend, why don't you rope up before you go for it again. I've got one safe slip in me still, so I'll try to grab a couple of acorns before those hornets attack. I guess Tymora really is looking out for you, but don't push your luck!"
The ranger just manages to grab the last two acorns, and handing one off to Malichi, the two walk quickly but carefully back along the branch, passing above the hive which seems to contain scores of agitated insects. Everyone piles into AGGE, and Malichi engages the propulsion system to descend along the trunk the long distance to the forest floor. The tiefling sighs as he gazes out the window, hoping for another opportunity at some point to catch a ride on a flying squirrel.
As the party reaches the ground, it is early evening, and the sun is low in the sky. Will you continue on, or make camp for the night?
"Yeah. I'm in" Malichi chimes in "I love the night. The whole world opens up in the dark"
Later, as Malichi pilots Aggie he says to Zensiro "Thanks for the rescue back there. I think one giant wasp sting is enough for one day" he says, wincing as the touches his side "I don't always know what the goddess is trying to tell me. She's made it really clear on a couple of occasions that her plans for me don't include 'front line fighter'. So I've found I can be a whole lot more use firing arrows from the shadows, providing support for those who are" he says with no small amount of pride" so I'm training to get better at it and I'm trying to figure out magic too, but I think what Tymora is trying to tell me is that no matter how good I get, having friends is always more important"
Malichi excitedly loads the last 3 acorns safely into his bag of holding, and the entire party uses AGGE to climb back down the trunk of the oak tree. Upon reaching the ground, the tiefling presses the tree button 3 times, and the vehicle once again transforms itself into a self-propelled enclosed wagon. With the rogue's guidance, you cross the distance to the base of the rowan tree in the twilight, and the crescent moon rises at about the time you arrive.
Anyone who stands a watch, please provide your passive perception, and roll for active perception.

Malichi will take the first watch (and maybe the whole night) he's just way too excited to sleep "The goddess has given me so much and has never asked anything of me before. I just couldn't let her down"
"Yeah. I'm in" Malichi chimes in "I love the night. The whole world opens up in the dark"

"I'm glad I was there to help. You're right in that no matter how skilled one becomes, having a skilled friend alongside always helps. You're a good man, Malichi, I'm sure you bring your goddess great joy with your courage and devotion. I'm glad to have met you in this place and to have adventured with you. Hopefully we will have many more ahead of us!"
Zensiro will volunteer for a watch. Given his powers of observation and limited need to rest, he should be ideal for the job.
During his watch, Zensiro repeatedly gets the feeling that somebody is watching him, but he cannot locate the source. No hostile creatures approach, no unusual noises, but an uneasy feeling that makes the hairs on the back of his neck stand up. The other party members notice nothing unusual.
Everyone gets a long rest in, and the sky gradually begins to lighten. Birdsong wafts through the trees, and the daily shift change of nocturnal and daytime animals takes place. Somewhere up above in the rowan tree, hangs an iridescent, otherworldly object that Malichi spotted while in the oak branches.

Malichi holsters his shortbow and continues towards the acorns. He's going for two of them.

Assuming he reaches Malichi safely, he'll pull him up to safety, or if Zensiro falls, he'll fey step himself back to the branch and try again.

Using the same precautions as Zensiro, Dyumi will hop out of Aggie and run towards Malachi.

Zensiro, sensing that it's now or never with these acorns, once again leaps into action, attempting to grab one.

As usual, Zensiro readies his fey step in the event that either acorn grab fails.

(Is it possible to navigate in the AGGE to the base of the rowan tree prior to nightfall, then make camp there?)
