Concurrent torrents continued to lash out from the storm of earth and water. At this point the flora in the area would begin to grow at a rapid pace causing the grass to turn to overgrowth and small trees to sprout from beneath. The forests themselves would residual feel these effects, many of the animals began to flee from their homes and far away from the manastorm.

The forward party of the holy swordsman, the beast, and the mecha-loli would be far from this effect though it would be felt to a small degree. And because of this distance it was they who would be able to see a small humanoid figure at the summit of this explosion seemingly floating happily within the rampage of nature.

“[b][color=brown]Oi! Ye’ mucks know what’s goin’ on o’er there.[/color][/b]” A gruff low voice would be barely audible to this group, but its source would soon be apparent. A giant, twenty feet in height stepped lightly towards them, floating boxes following him just at his rear as he made his way towards them. He was tanned, bright red have, garbed in leather robes and tassels.

“[b]Evis![/b]” The fauna woman exclaimed  with her sword aimed at the big-bearded dwarf. The weapon would glow a bright mint-green before a scythe of wind mana was projected directly at his face, though having little force. It was on the other hand, sharp, and should it make contact with his beard would likely remove more than half of its sum.

Meanwhile, a small fauna child would make her way to the bucket-apparatus feeding it rope to lower the allow container down. The rope was thick and tightly woven, strong enough support her weight. 

“[b][color=gray]Climb up! You’re small enough![/color][/b]” The dog-eared girl shouted down at the scorpion them. She flashed her teeth in a wholesome genuine smile, hopefully her efforts went well. 

There was the issue of the Templars nearby however, they ignored the children and their amusement and instead decided to peer down the well as the rope was hoisted down. 

“[b]And when you make your way up here, we will have some questions for you.[/b]” A blonde middle-aged man spoke down in a stern echo down the well.
