Nothing on the husks... they appear to be ravaged by the vines however... nothing on the blights either (as you expected).
(ugh i don't know what happened to the map it seems like it got deleted somehow - so for reference you're at the bottom of room 55.. that's about 25' north of the circular wall in the top part of room 56.
From your position you can clearly see a gnarled (but still large) tree now dominating the next room...
56. The Gulthias Tree
A walled clearing is here among the briars. The walls are about twenty feet high, which is less than half the height of the cavern’s ceiling. Several varieties of plants grow around the perimeter of the clearing, including a few suspicious-looking saplings, but their importance pales before that which stands at the courtyard’s center. Beneath the fungal light grows an evil tree. Its blackened, twisted limbs reach upward, like a skeletal hand clawing its way out of the earth. Before it stand a few twig blights; a heavily armored, young human male with a shield and sword; a blonde, young human woman in a robe fit for a noble; and a middle-aged, bearded human male wearing a hooded brown robe and armed with a staff and sickle. The younger humans have black eyes and gray skin that resembles a bark-like texture...
You take a step closer and the tree seems to sway despite a lack of any wind in the room... Its branches make a sound like old bones rubbing together...
Grom, any of these the people you were looking for?
louder
Hile strangers. Who might you be?
Mentally to Eldenser
Any ideas or experience regarding evil looking trees like that one? Trees shouldn't be able to sway in the breeze when there's no wind, at least in my experience.

No response is given from those under the tree to you're hail...
Eldenser replies, "Hrrmm... no -- I have not seen a tree like this in my time... it is interesting... yes... interesting indeed... the tree appears to be living... yet.. somehow dead as well..."
Grom will slowly and trying to be silent approach slightly ahead of the group...
"Talgen, Sharwyn..... Is that you?"
At the sound of your voice the young man and woman start towards you...
...they move stiffly.. much like the blights... they get within 60 feet with you and you can see their skin is gray as ash... their black eyes stare at you soullessly like pools of dried black ink...
In Dwarven:"Hier ist etwas furchtbar schief gelaufen" Sharwyn, ich habe dich in den arkanen Künsten ausgebildet ... Talgen, du warst für mich wie ein Sohn ... "
"Vergib mir Moradin für das, was ich tun werde ..."
"Something has gone terribly wrong here, " Sharwyn, I trained you in the arcane arts... Talgen, You were like a Son to me..." Forgive me Moradin for what i am about to do....
"Forgive Me..."
Grom will wipe a tear from his cheek and gently tap his axe on the ground.. while again saying out loud...
"Im Sorry this happened"
the air in the space around Grom all the sudden is a noticable drop colder... the party instantly can all see there breath.. The water on his finger from his tear is insistently frozen... A very faint blue light is shot out of the ruby in the axe and lands in the space directly between the 2 "humans"
@Fen I need both of them and any other creature with in 5ft circle of them to make a Dex saving throw..

Nice! Druid is a bit further back, but that'll encompass the brother and sister duo.

Talgen 3. Sharwyn 7.
those are fails on my DC13
The winter air is thick... time seems to slow for a moment... the blue light hits the ground and for what seems like a few minutes goes by as time seems to stand still...
A small snowflake falls and lands on Taliens hand and then melts away.....
With a small shudder the Ground Erupts between them and Snowballs blast out in every direction like a hand grenade went off! Pummeling both the brother and sister and flying off in a 5ft circle!
As a tear falls from Grom's face and lands on the ground the cold air dissipates, time seems to come back to normal... and i assume lets all roll Initiative Groms INT: 11
