"The dining room. The space would suit your needs, I think. Writing tools and paper will be in the dresser along the wall, but mind the dust, and perhaps a guest or two."

This time of year, small creatures or spiders always found refuge in this warmth.

from a thick core rooted in the floor of the space. Around it are chairs of all heights, one with wooden stairs and a footrest fitting races of smaller stature. Upon the far edge of the tabletop beside the two second-tallest chairs, there was another, far shorter table with a single seat

It opens to stairs not carved into the tree, but sculpted so smoothly no mundane means could have achieved it. A brief climb through a tall tunnel brings the trio to a wide, warm dining with high ceilings, lit by unwavering torches which shed no heat.

At the room's center, a massive table sprouts

"A fine idea, and a vital tool. Let me know when you've finished, I think...

I think a plan is beginning to take shape.

There is a dining room table with – well, I might as well show you."

They await the other two by the door that almost resembles a knot in a plank of cut wood.

"I only ask that you do not enter the rooms on the fourth floor. All others are yours to use." All furnished in unique manners - but the former occupants of most would not return.

and beside that path lies a well-tended fire pit and the huddles of plants readying for a long winter. The path guides them to a door, and the door grants passage to the trunk of an evergreen of mythical proportions, easily dwarfing any grown without the blessings of a powerful being.

"My home is yours, young ones. Stay as long as you need safe haven." Their own choice of words elicits a melancholy smile, but they make no comment of the reason.

The group emerges in a mountainside forest where the trees grow thick, save for this cultivated clearing. Beside them is a trodden path,

becomes the chirping of chickadees and nuthatches. There's a chill in the air where before hung a stagnant heat, and when the hutch falls away, piece by piece under their hand, its remnants find clean earth, though far more barren for the season; the will either find new life here or feed it.

they speak a single word in a forgotten dialect of the ancient Druidic tongue. Nothing seems to change, not within, but outside, the voices of nature shift quickly, and beautifully. The burbling bog becomes wind through pine needles, the distant sounds of marching, reanimated beasts

with vibrant green that spreads from toe to tip.

When it's tall enough that even the firbolg can stand within comfortably, the branches connect at a single peak, creating a warm, comfortable dome. As soon as the last branches twine together above them all,

As the elves cross the bounds of the circle together, the moss creeps and thickens behind them. Healthy saplings break through the muck and mouldering earth, rapidly forming supports for the moss to climb higher, higher. It nets between each branch, painting over the light of the ruddy moon

Every so often they glance at the moon, but they don't rise until the circle is closed and complete and they await the others.

they say firmly, determined, "and the safest den I could offer. I know it well and the journey will be gentler for it."

They keep drawing, digging out sloping curves that form a simple pattern and fill with growing moss in the wake of their touch.

The druid catches Solas's look of frustrated resignation. In return, they offer him one of sympathy, though they are already in motion, tracing a wide circle in the earth beneath their feet.

"I know it can be unpleasant, and no better for your shock. Once more, but this is the last,"

"Sundrinker steuck again. Without able defenders protecting the city...
