Disgusted with the quality and condition of Belak's robe Shake kicks Belak's dead body in anger. "Stupid, broke magician." Noticing that his companions are still around, Shake regains his composure and says, "But this adventure will make a fine song. Bards will sing my song for generations, once I've written it that is." Shake smiles at his companions and starts humming a little.
Got the wand, which was the primary objective. The apple is a bonus. Sorry we didn’t find you a hammer Talien. Good thing you’ll have the money to buy one.
I say it’s time to light this tree up and go collect our pay. We’re not getting paid to map and clear this place.

Talien will pack away everything and give the sword a once over. He will also retrieve all of his daggers thrown in this encounter. Does he notice anything about the blade?
Make a straight int check, or arcana.. your choice.
Talien looks the blade over and can see it's mundane history, but believing the blade to let partially magical he says to Grom unaware of this will affect his friend on an emotional level. Grom, can you tell me anything about this blade?
If Grom refuses and the party does not offer Talien will attemptt the check alone.

It is not my hammer. It is the smiths hammer stolen by the goblins. I have been tasked to retrieve it and I shall. If you do not want to assist me, then I will find it alone and take my share when we regroup in town.
Shake looks from Talien to Alten, then back to Talien. Then he says to the group at large, "I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I'm going to follow the big machine guy. He's an epic song unto himself."

Which check are you doing Int or Arcana?
Arcana
The sword definitely emanates an aura of magic and as you turn it over you see it has runes etched in its blade... the runes are in dwarven and read "Shatterspike" (assuming you pass it to Grom and he reads it to you).
You swing the sword through the air and realize that with a little practice (during a short rest) you will be able to unlock the curiosities of this mighty blade worthy of you wielding it.

Ooo.. Please describe this tree lighting (if that's the plan).. so festive.
I'm just sayin' Talien - we've got the job done. Let's deliver the goods and get paid. We looked for a hammer but didn't find it.
Tell you what. I'll buy you a hammer, if not in Oakhurst, then in the next town.
I have spoken. Talien stares at Alten seemingly frozen in time. The gap grows. Talien then says to Alten this time without his mouth moving still frozen in place like a statue,If I find the hammer the smith can help me forge these two blades into one. Let us look on the way back, if we don't find it then I will remain and search for it with whoever is willing, or alone if need be.
Once Alten pours the oil on the tree grom will start throwing firebolts at it... over and over... and over... and over again
As oil is poured over the tree it begins to shudder and shake... as the first fireball hits it you hear what sounds like a scream.... roots suddenly shoot out of the ground near Belak out through his back and entangle him. The roots raise the corpse from the ground as they burst from his mouth and eyes...
The tree swings the corpse at Grom like a whip...
Attack: 6 Damage: 10
Grom flattens himself to the ground and as Belak passes over head... it swings back a second time albeit lower
Attack: 13 Damage: 11

Do we actually know that goblin's stole it? What if he just lost or broke it?

that 2nd attack will hit grom as i no longer have mage armor on it would have worn off by now i assume...that leaves grom at 4HP....Nvm mage armor does last for 8 hours, so i guess there is a chance i still have it
@Fen i swear if you kill me with a ******* tree lolGrombrindal "The White Dwarf" (Dwarf - Wizard) - Fenris_Worldsbane's Tales from the Yawning Portal

What seems to be the reach of this thing? I'm assuming we all backed off after soaking it in oil if Grom is lighting it up with firebolts.
Also assuming Alten was near Grom, Alten will take a swing with his Glaive at the branch that hit Grom.
