Falon takes a quick look at the others for confirmation before pushing the door open if no one objects. "Let's see what's behind door number two."

Nithia nods in agreement and closes her eyes once more in concentration. There's a brief pause before rings of light begin circling the party, protecting them from status ailments. Welcome to Nitha's Blessing Emporium! Your one stop shop for all blessings in existence! Our current stocks are: Reflect x1 Light Screen x2 Lucky Chant x3 Safeguard x3
Take what you like, and have a pleasant day!

The northern door opens as Falon's hand presses against it; a rather graceful motion for such a massive construct. Regardless, the path before you appears and you team notes that after only a few steps, the path immediately breaks to the east. It is separated from the previous area by a row of trees. After walking just a few steps east, you'll note the river from before has become significantly smaller and can be crossed thanks to a rather tiny bridge built to cross it. The tiny bridge seems almost pointless since jumping across would be easily possible, however the straight lines on the ground indicating wheel marks seem to resolve that dilemma. The path turns back south and opens into the second half of the room you were just in. Looking inside you would find a search point in the south east corner and no other immediately noticeable points of interest... other than the uprooted trees from earlier. Perception DC 15 from all trainers, not pokemon.

Falon takes a quick look around the rest of the room before spotting the Search point in the south east. He quickly sprints over and gathers whatever he can find there. Search Check: 19 Perception: Pointless, max I can get is 13 with AP spend, so not bothering.

The search point glows as Falon's hand approaches. The concentrated vitas swirls and condenses revealing a mint herb and 3 shea fruits.

Falon quickly gathers up the herbs and fruits... only to discover his bag is almost full already. He turns to the others. "One of you have room in their bag? Mine's almost full."

Nithia quietly reaches out and makes grabby hands, putting them into her bag quietly. She still didn't trust him... He had to be a ghost, right? And more importantly, where were all the fairies? She thought for sure they'd be out and about in a forest like this. Maybe the ghost scared them all away?

With the resources in hand, a cursory glance around you reveals nothing else of importance. The river next to you moves somewhat slowly so it's possible to wade through it to reach the other side more quickly but it would likely be too deep for the shorter amongst you.

Henry keeps a watchful eye out, noting the bridge. So something had built this, and come across it with something wheeled... Fascinating. They probably should call it a day here... "Should we stay here much longer? Or do you think this will suffice?" Perception roll: 15

Falon nods at Henry's question. "Unless someone spots anything of interest, we should be done here."
He glances at the river, gauging the depth and speed of the waterflow, before shrugging. "I'm going through the water. Might spot something different that way," he says, before jumping and and wading across, the water steaming around him as he enters it. Kaelan relocates from Falon's shoulder to the top of his head, as far away from the water as possible, not particularly feeling like taking a hot bath right now.

Falon's wade across the river ends with him only slightly further south on the other side of the river. The water drops from around Falon making the floor around him moist. From the eastern side of the river, Henry notices that one of the nearby trees has a curious unnatural branch.

Henry arched an eyebrow as he approached the branch, curious. "This branch doesn't belong here..." He mused lightly, motioning for Sir Glubbington to get ready as he reached out to take the branch.

Once Falon has reached the other side of the river, he stands there for a few moments, water vaporising around him in steam clouds. Turning around to the others across the river, he sees Henry inspecting a branch of sort. "You found something, didn't you?" he yells across, before sighing, shrugging and wading back to the others, not really minding getting wet again. It would dry up soon enough. It always did.

The branch is quite clearly a lever disguised as a branch upon closer inspection and its mysteriousness begs the party to pull it.

Falon reunites with the rest of his party, water still dripping and steaming off him. Seeing the branch lever Henry had found, he says the first thing to pop into is mind. "Pull it!"

As they continue on, Nithia shuffles her feet from exhaustion. All this walking and no fairies. All this walking and nothing magical. All this walking and nothing interesting. All this walking and her feet were tired and she felt all out of balance and she just needed to curse something and everything would be better. As Nithia fumes, a small pout begins to form on her face and the dark clouds swarm over her head. Tiik chimes in mild confusion and flies around her head, trying to cheer her up, but she doesn't seem to notice him, crossing her arms in annoyance. She just had to think up the proper curse...

Henry isn't one to let a mystery pass him by, and pulls the lever! "Everyone be ready. We have no idea what this will trigger... And a lever being in the middle of a forest is already pretty weird."

The lever smoothly moves down a few inches before popping back up to its original position. Gears whirl below ground though the area immediately around you doesn't change. The sound of moving metal contrasts the nature-esque scene around you. Finally, at the southern end of the river, you notice that the river is now turning east instead of disappearing off into what seemed to be nothing. And with that the gears and metal have ceased motion and noise.

Henry nods, and rolls up his map. "We can investigate that later. I think, for now, it's time to get back to the guild. I'm sure the others are waiting on us."

Merit nods, mentally noting a need for water-friendly apparel for the next trip to this part of the forest. "I wonder how things have gone for the others?"
