Sounds like Ramious, Alyssa, Bugs, then Leon. But, Ramious pushes the door open and looks around thoroughly before entering any room. Going so far as peeking his head in to look to the left, right, and above the doorway, before fully stepping into the room.

Ramious carefully opened the door, not setting foot inside just yet, and the small corridor was immediately filled with very moist stale air. Beyond the door was a room - big (40x40ft), irregularly shaped. In the center of this room the tiefling could see a withered tree that looked like a leafless willow, rooted in a terraced depression. The bottom of this hollow is filled with oily water--hard to tell how deep. Across the room, beyond the dead tree, is another door. Around the sides of the room, a five-foot-wide ledge encircles the tree. The walls of the room are beaded with condensation.

As Ramious craned himself, peeking into the room, Alyssa couldn't really see around his large frame. She'd consider slinking by him into the room herself, but that could prove to be fruitless. So she'd start with dipping under one of his wings to peer around his side to get a look for herself before committing to making an attempt to slip by.
Is it a real tree? How dead is it? Anything special about oily water? Nature?: 17 + Guidance: 3
After careful consideration, Alyssa decided she can not recognize the tree. Actually, it is beginning to look more and more like a gigantic variety of polyp, similar to a sea anemone, rather than a plant. The water, though, looks like water - by far not the cleanest, but no foul chemicals in it either.)

Alyssa would bring her free hand up to pat her nose with a finger as she'd think. Now that she could tell it wasn't a tree, and that it was more obviously suited to the environment, she started to wonder if she's seen anything like this before. Don't sea anemonies have a ring of stinging tentacles? Could this one be aggressive?
It does seem like thin ... needles? Hair? move a little. Even branches tremble just a little bit. But whether by itself or because of the air movement -- hard to tell in that darkness. Alyssa have never encountered such thing but can swear the tree is more alive than it looks.
"I think it's moving..." Alyssa would mutter quietly. She'd let silence hang in the air for a moment. Then, she'd suddenly poke Ramious' side in an effort to surprise or tickle him as she'd dip back under his wing. She'd step aside for Bernard or Leon to come take a look if they wanted. "Would you like to check it out?"
Ramious looks at the ghastly looking 'tree' thing. He steps aside, allowing everyone a good look. Then...a devilish grin on his face he looks to Alyssa and holds out his hand a bit of flame appearing in his palm...."Shall we? I don't mind burnin' everything in this darned place..."
If she agrees, he hucks some fire at it, while staying outside the room.

The elf couldn't help but grin along when Rami would insist on fighting it with fire. She'd bring her hand up to conjure her flame as well. This time she could feel the heat in her palm. "As long as it's a threat, I'm down..." Alyssa would nod in agreement to burning things in this place. She did however, like preserving some of the artifacts... Her eyes would side glance Leon, then Bernard. She'd try to sweeten her smile. They had some ranged attacks they could rotate in, she was sure of it.
"I bet its a threat," Bugs adds to the conversation, "But before we burn something that is a potential source of air in this stale place, can I shoot an arrow at it and see what those threads may do?"
He looks back at the tree. "My guess is the threads alert it to movement and then it strikes or grabs what disturbed it."
Hold for Bugs to shoot first. Alyssa would change/rotate out of place for others to do ranged. But if someone, even if 1 person moves into the room, she would too, but not go down the stairs.

There is a doorway big enough for one character, a space to the right for another character, and a a short section of a corridor to the left where three more can stand. Leon begins. How do you dance?

Is the flying potion still in effect for Bernard? It lasts an hour? If so he will fly a litte higher into the room stick by the wall and take a shot. If not he will scoot around the right edge.
