Xanth looks at Rush critically as he attempts to make his case and Xanth says, "I don't like that this has cropped up so near my home, so I wouldn't mind investigating. But, I'll acquiesce to the group. What do the rest of you think?"
“Well we can’t learn anything from here!”Kwiz says, hopping down from the centaur’s back and slowly approaching the tree as Duncan flies overhead. He starts checking the ground, and if he gets close enough, the tree and creepiness itself to get more details on what may have created this opening in the forest, or the materials of the dolls, etc. ((investigation 26))
Taking a minute to think, Kwiz realizes he should see if anything is arcane, and steps back towards the group. There he sets his spellbook on the ground, and ritually casts Detect Magic.
After casting Detect Magic, Kwiz sees that there is an aura of transmutation magic emanating from the tree and the ground in a 60-foot radius around it.
“This whole area is magical.” Kwiz says, stepping back. “Should we see what the doll holds within it?” He then again, sets his book on the ground, and begins casting his servant, who can move further than his mage hand, to retrieve things as they stay back.
Andrømeda, still standing in the circle, looks where Kwiz left the doll. "So much vork over such a little thing. Am can just step on den, and vi can face any maug vhat may kom, ja?"

If you think my puns are bad, I'll remind you, my profile pic says otherwise.
Does the doll look like it was made for this or like it was a regular toy until it was used for this? Any initials on the foot, or maybe a stain from some kid playing pretend and trying to feed it blackberries or something?
"In de stomm, de tribe, of my birth, grisehjerter vere good kjott. Meat. Vhat use is dir for such a thing in dark magisk?" Andrømeda wrinkles her nose as she looks at the heart, directing her question at Kwiz.

Andrømeda shrugs, giving her axe a spin. "Am'm villing to kutt down de tree, if den's vhat du vant."
"No," Xanth says. "I don't want to cut it down without understanding what is causing this to happen."

When you say "stepping back" do you mean outside of the 60' circle? If so, are you taking the twig doll with you or leaving it where you found it?

Xanth stays outside of the 60' circle with Kwiz as he gets ready to see what the result of Kwiz's magic is.

Andrømeda, still standing in the circle, looks where Kwiz left the doll. "So much vork over such a little thing. Am can just step on den, and vi can face any maug vhat may kom, ja?"
“That’s an option of course.” Kwiz says, as his spell completes and he sends his unseen servant to go grab the doll, and see what’s inside it.

Huffing a bit at all the excessive caution, Andrømeda makes her way out of the 60ft circle as Kwiz sends in his servant.
Does Kwiz's servant break the doll open?

By breaking a doll apart, you can see that it contains a still-beating pig’s heart.

Kwiz gasps, which causes his servant to also drop the still beating heart on to the ground for all to easily see.
PbP 🎲: Tyekanik; Moneo Noree; Korba Muris; & occasional DM:
Rush will move to the heart.
”Well... clearly necromantic.”
Does the doll look like it was made for this or like it was a regular toy until it was used for this? Any initials on the foot, or maybe a stain from some kid playing pretend and trying to feed it blackberries or something?
