Heeding Gridolpho's warning about wasting daylight the Party continues down the path. Eventually, you come to where the elf told you where the Wayfarer Tree should be. At first the trees along the Path seem no different than, the others you've passed by before. Then. a young hickory tree nearby matures into a huge full grown version of itself, complete with an opening at the base of the trunk large enough for a full grown man to enter.
Argus pauses for a number of seconds (staying on the path) and carefully examines the area around the tree. Listening for any strange noises. Smelling the air for any foul odors.
Maya would hesitate, not wanting to be the first one to go up to the tree. When she sees Argus approach the tree, she will follow his path and help him with his inspection, placing a hand on the tree.
Inside the tree it's quite spacious with enough room for all of you, and your gear. Toonary can even stand at his full height. luminescent moss provides a soft bluish green light. As the last party member enters inside the tree the opening begins to close, soon you are ensconced within the Tree.
"If Granddad had told me that my life would ever contain the phrase 'ensconced within the tree', I'da spit in 'is face and pinned 'is hand to the table."
Bertrand moves to set his lack to the side and set up a place for himself to sleep. "I would suggest that we rest while we can. I do not know when we will get to do so again in a safe place inside these woods."
Argus finds a conferrable spot to set up for the nights rest... sits down and relaxes. "Let me know if I need to stand a watch. I am not sure how long we can trust this tree to keeps us safe. Though I do like the lighting in here... It does seem like a friendly tree...(so far)...... He smiles and looks around at the area and party members.....
((Sorry for the delay folks. I haven't been getting notifications lately...))
Maya would stand with Toonary to put her hands on the tree too. A friend indeed. Thank you for keeping us safe. She'd wait for everyone else to get settled before she'd actually look for a place to get comfortable. She'd eventually settle, curled up against the wall of the tree next to Toonary, using him as a pillow.
The night passes peacefully inside the tree, at dawn the tree opens up to reveal an overcast day. You hear a slight creak emanate from the Wayfarer Tree, and it begins to slowly shrink. You quickly gather your belongings, and hurry outside. After a few minutes the Wayfarer Tree has returned to the size of when you first saw it along the Path. The Mouth once again appears on the trunk.
"The Path's enchantment will only shield you for a few more miles." The Mouth advises the Party. With that in mind you set off towards your destination.
(I'm going to need two Party Marching Orders. One for two abreast, and one for single file.)
(ooc, Toonary can smash things up a bit, and is a healer, my thought side by side would be Argus and Kayla, next Toonary and Gridolpho, then Maya and Shirley and Bertrand in the rear. The order they are in I think would make a good single file.

(Argus) Nothing seems to be amiss in the area.
(Maya) Other than morphing from a young tree into a huge adult version of itself, the tree seems to be normal.
A mouth appears just above the entrance . "Best not to delay, the Path's magic is weak after sunset." it warns.
With nothing else to go on but the advice they had been given by the elves and how this strange tree, Bertrand will move to step inside.
"Let's double pace it. I don't know about you but that's weird and I don't want to see what the weird thing is worried about."

"I would have to agree. Lets go." Maya would nod and be ready to pick up the pace while following the others.

Argus follows Bertrand inside the tree.
“Feck it. We’re adventurers. Let’s be adventurous.”
Gridolpho enters the tree.

"Bloody hell..." Kayla enters the tree.
Inside the tree it's quite spacious with enough room for all of you, and your gear. Toonary can even stand at his full height. luminescent moss provides a soft bluish green light. As the last party member enters inside the tree the opening begins to close, soon you are ensconced within the Tree.
Gridolpho glances around.
"Ensconced within the tree."

Toonary puts a piece of bacon half way in his mouth, rubs his hand on the tree and says "I'll be your friend." Before seeing up his bed roll.

(ooc: Gridolpho is better as a scout)
Disregarding any planning, Gridolpho ranges out ahead of the party. Wary for any threats.

Perception: 12
