For a while, there is silence - an odd amount of silence. It feels like the birds that had previously been fluttering about have disappeared completely, the ambient noise of their calls going silence. Then, finally a patch of foliage near the base of the tree shifts.
Out of the leaves curls an insectoid creature with the face of a woman, expertly trailing down the side of the tree and in the group's direction. She slips over the thick, shimmering bark, her massive claws balancing her as they find purchase.
She comes to the edge of the large root looking over the party like a cliff, tilting her head. There is something a bit unnerving about her facial expressions - almost as if the human parts of the body are being puppetted instead of a natural part of her body.

"Parley?" they ask. "Peace?"
