All of those who enter will be welcomed into the Thunder Tree. 'Welcomed', in this case, mostly means that the dozen or Wyld Fae in there will refrain from mauling or eating you, at the behest of the Thunder Bird. The mantis fae from earlier will return to take a peek at all the new arrivals. Others, some of which are better at communicating, will come forward to discuss things in more detail.
They aren't exactly friendly, but they will spend the rest of the day making plans with the carnival diplomats. Who the carnival is are doesn't seem to matter much - they have access to powers of the Miracles, and with how wary these fae are of the Huntsman, they seem desperate to strike back and stop having to hide. Wyld Fae hate being the underdog.
Some of the more personable Wyld Fae will offer to let the 'small ones' stay in the tree during the night, but it is up to them whether or not they accept the offer. Regardless, the Wyld Fae, led by the Thunder Bird, will commit to joining the carnival on the rest of the quest, and potentially in trying to full some more of their still-free kin over to their side.
The next section of the journey will be made much easier by the Thunder Bird's brood, as they will be able to defend against Hunt attacks and skirmishes. By cooperating with them and the Summer armies, it will be possible to cut directly through the forest with only a few major fights, that the carnival members themselves will be mostly able to avoid. (Though you can make threads around the concept of close calls/almost getting mauled if you like.)
Upon Day 138, however, the larger presence of the Wyld Fae comrades will draw the attention of Hunting parties in the upcoming mountains. The next megathread will begin there.
