After the words

[Anastasia]

Easy enough - the trees are heavy but not that heavy.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa considers, then flips the tree upside down and attempts to strip the leaves and branches off.

[Anastasia]

Again, easily enough done, if roughly so.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa then tries to split it into firewood.

[Anastasia]

This takes some time, but you get a rain of hunks of wood, firewood made. Ianvasah watches as you work, telekinesis on full display.

"You can do almost anything with that," she marvels.

[Iron Dragoon]

"I can't beat anyone in raw strength, so I had to find a way to make what I was strong in cover that weakness. Once I found a way to leverage my mental strength as physical strength, in a way, it was a matter of focus and practice until it became more.

It's been incredibly useful. I mean, can you imagine how long it would take to swing an axe that much? And the calluses, my god. No, I rather prefer no one suspecting I can slam around the largest warriors or use a weapon like Life-Drinker."

[Anastasia]

"Deception can win battles," Ianvasah agrees, "It's still uncanny to see."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Well, we're both excellent at what we do."

[Anastasia]

A smile, momentary, "Well, that's her wood. This was pleasant but we need to keep going."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods. "Lead the way, oh great and mighty druid."

[Anastasia]

Gimme a d100.

[Iron Dragoon]

[blockquote]Rolled 1d100 : 70, total 70[/blockquote]

[Anastasia]

Perception.

[Iron Dragoon]

Perception:

[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+47 : 1 + 47, total 48[/blockquote]

[Anastasia]

As you walk on, you notice a shadow in the skies above - a hint of something above you?
