Standing at the edge of the corrupted clearing the party carefully observed everything that they could.
The pond in the center was relatively small, only around 10 meters across and spherical in shape. The corrupted tree was significantly smaller than the giants that made up the majority of this regions trees, standing no more than 15 meters tall. It was similar to a willow, with dropping branches, yet very few of these were left. The scarred and bleeding trunk dominating all attention.
The surface of the pond was calm, with only the persistent rain causing any disturbance. Thick patches of algae and plant life floated on the surface. After they saw the Bark Horror leave the waters all appeared to be calm.
