So sorry for the delay, can I please get Wits/Composure rolls if you have a occult at 2 or higher roll at a +2, if you have no occult roll at -2.
The three walk toward the spirits encircling the locus. They stand there like a living wall. Here they pass an elm, twisted and skinny, bark a deep rich brown with silver streaks; gangly limbs hang from it, slouching. It's roots reaching out as it gradually leans forward into place. The branches of a neighboring elm, covered in green, shiver as if blown by a breeze in the still air. Their limbs interlace creating an overlapping canopy. There, a massive oak stands stoically. Near the ring of trees, but not part of it, vibrant and healthy. As the elm shivers into place, the oak shakes in the same windless breeze.
