The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

She nods. "I guess that's true..I'll go get my sword then…where do we fight?"

As Indy grabs a few more gems he suddenly grows. He's now a tiny bit bigger than you.
He looks surprised but then hisses and grabs the pile of gold and runs for one of the doors.
>>495184
You're there.
The campfire is burning lightly, keeping a campfire going during rain isn't easy even if you have placed some cover above it. You should burn it higher before attempting to contact Pyrrus.

Time for some mud wrestling.

You slam it open and luckily for you it seems this was a ,rather large, closet. Indy sits on the other end on top of his pile of gold.
There are a number of bottles on the racks on the closet. Some of them covered with a cloth. Other open to inspect, though you'd have to look closer to see them clearly.

You slam it out of her hooves easily.
"Hey! Why did you do that?"

It's bright enough.

Tha famous shield of the legendary shaman Leaf Green was said to have been made out of wood, yet extraordinarily resistant to all types of damage including fire.
According to the legend, Leaf Green once traveled to the edge of the world where he found a tree the size of a small mountain.
The tree spoke to him and after a brief while, impressed by Leaf Greens wisdom, gave him the honor of cutting his smallest branch. Out of this branch Leaf Green carved this mighty shield.
Others claim the shield was merely enchanted by a powerful geomancy spell.]

After making your way through the tunnel with the fluorescent Parasprites you enter a large room within the tree.

The shouting of Tullip came from here somewhere but worryingly it seems to have stopped, there's not enough light currently to see this room clearly but you have the distinct impression you're standing in some kind of mud.

At this moment of connection become one with Fire and you feel your actions guided by the Firelord himself.
Your mere presence carries the Aura of Pyrrus, granting your allies a significant power boost.
But it is when the bear rears its head back in that you strike.
Rialing the pegasi in speed you gallop towards the head, jumping out of the tree and hitting the celestial mass, overloading it red with elemental power.
As the beast roars, it destabilizes and falls down towards the ground.
You are so filled with power that the idea that you're falling with it towards the ground barely bothers you. But then you feel a tug on your back. 2 claws gently grasping your flesh. You turn around to see a familiar Phoenix carrying you, slowing down your fall enough and quickly trying to land you out of reach of the Ursa.

Both Amber and Snacks get down no problem.
Mabel misses a spot and is lucky Inferni bails her out again and softly flies her down instead of letting her fall to her doom.
Soils idea to just slide down on his shield works surprisingly well until he shield gets stuck in a brach and it takes 15 minutes to get it out.
You all make it down the base of the tree where there's a giant open clearing covered in blue dust and charred tree trunks where the Ursa exploded. You find Vilina, Star and Iris there.
Vilina is laying meekly and shaken underneath a blanket while Iris sits by her.
Star runs up "Oh thank the Saviour all of you are okay!"
She gives Snacks a hug.
