Liberi Fatali

I was reading through some logs and found this one rather interesting. This was during the release event for that mass Ranger attack spell -- I forget the name of it. The NPC in this log is Muthmourn.
Lady Belnia's group just went south.
[Marshtown, Land's End]
The firm soil of the path to the northeast quickly turns to mud and pools of stagnant water to the southwest. As progress becomes more difficult, a raised walkway made of wooden planks elevates travelers above the treacherous, sliding mud. The falls to the northeast, known as Kaskara Zahar, or the Cascade Taehhar, pour from the Cairnfang River above, and the delta of the mighty Cairnfang rushes into Solhaven Bay to the south.
Also here: Lady Belnia
Obvious paths: north, south

Lady Belnia's group just went south.
[Marshtown, Shoreline]
As the raised platform approaches the Cairnfang river, less and less stable soil is available to support the buildings and inhabitants of Marshtown. Rafts of large barrels have been tied together and serve as flotation for the walkway and the squat wooden buildings that line either side. A chiaroscuro mingling of hues takes place in the waters to the southeast as the Cairnfang mingles with Solhaven Bay. You also see Langi's pier to the southeast.
Also here: Lady Belnia

Lady Belnia's group just went southwest.
[Marshtown, Shoreline]
Occasional splashing waves wet the planks of the walkway here, making footing treacherous in places. Warped and cracked planks are difficult to navigate and are in dire need of repair. To the south, the Market Bridge leading to Solhaven to the southeast rises out of the marsh and curving to the southeast, crosses Solhaven Bay into the heart of Solhaven. You also see the Market Bridge leading to Solhaven to the southeast.
Also here: Lady Belnia
Obvious paths: north, northeast, west

Lady Belnia's group just went across the Market Bridge leading to Solhaven to the southeast.
[Market Bridge]
This section of the market bridge slopes strongly upward toward the center of the bridge high above the Cairnfang delta, and down into Marshtown to the north. The timbers that make up the bridge are reinforced with thick ropes and iron bands. Long spikes hold planks firmly in place.
Also here: Lady Belnia
Obvious paths: northwest, up

Lady Belnia's group just went up.
[Market Bridge]
Perhaps feeling there is less risk on the exposed timbers of the bridge than on the floating platforms of Marshtown, a series of small shops crowd the sides of the bridge. While more stable, they still appear precariously perched.

Lady Belnia's group just went southeast.
[Market Bridge]
This tall and sturdy bridge rises high above the currents of the Cairnfang delta. From the top of the wide bridge, both Marshtown and the entire layout of Solhaven are clearly visible. To the northwest, the bridge slopes down into Marshtown, kept afloat by barrels and planks. To the southeast, Solhaven spreads out under the walls of Vornavis, a massive urban sprawl stretching from the walls to the shore.

[Market Bridge]
Small board-and-plank shops wearing the odious whitewash of perching gulls line either side of the bridge. Relying on the bridge's traffic for business, and taking advantage of the gentle incline from here to the peak of the bridge, the shops look to be an odd mix that might appeal to Marshtowner and 'Havener alike. You notice a small, weathered cask hangs above the doorway of one of the shops. You also see an old barrel.

Lady Belnia's group just went southeast.
[Market Bridge]
This section of bridge descends to the southeast to a stone pier, where it is anchored firmly in place at the edge of Solhaven. To the northwest, the bridge rises above the Cairnfang delta and continues down into Marshtown. The bridge is well maintained and very clean on this slope. You also see a dark ladder leaning against a large iron-plated tower topped by a blue-edged Solhaven Bay banner.
Also here: Lady Belnia
Obvious paths: southeast, up
>
Lady Belnia's group just went southeast.
[Solhaven, Bayside Road]
Bayside Road widens here, as throngs of people head southward into the North Market. More than a few are drawn by the mouthwatering aroma of fresh-baked goods wafting from the doorway of the half-timber building opposite the bridge. To the northwest, the Market Bridge spans the bay, heading towards Marshtown. You also see an old barrel.
Also here: Lady Belnia
Obvious paths: northeast, east, south, southwest, northwest
>
Lady Belnia's group just went south.
[Solhaven, North Market]
The crush of the crowd is almost overwhelming here in the center of the market. Peddlers wheeling small carts push their way through, shouting loudly. Nearby, a group of dwarves argue heatedly with a local merchant. You also see the Keph disk, the Angeliqe disk, the Kiowha disk, the Kediaq disk, the Oravia disk, the Briavana disk, the Emaera disk, the Muffinsmith's stall, the Small Blades stand, the Belts booth, a wooden bench with some stuff on it, an old barrel and a squalid canvas pavilion.
Also here: Lady Belnia, Keph, Kiowha, Great Lady Angeliqe, Muthmourn, Great Lady Leloo, Syberus, Lord Taehulahn, Kediaq, Joter who is lying down, Eliaz, Briavana, Nareul, Emaera, the body of Myrisa who is lying down, Paole, Great Lady Morgatha who is sitting

You see Muthmourn the Tree Herder.
He appears to be a Treant.
He appears to be wizened with age and towering. He has sunken malevolent black eyes and sickly off-green skin. He has a twisted mass of twigs, leaves, dirt and green moss for hair. He has a flat face, a gnarled nose and a wooden trunk-like chest. He has thick, muscular arms of twisted vines and massive bulging roots that serve as legs.
He is in good shape.
He is holding a broken tree branch in his right hand.
He is wearing a small knothole, a engraved leather pouch, and a leaf-covered wooden tunic.

Muthmourn menacingly asks, "Me loose?"

[Solhaven, North Market East]
A brown awning stretches across the front of the large stone building here. Hanging above the entrance is a metal breastplate, rusted from exposure to the salty sea air. Two giantmen, deeply engrossed in conversation, lean casually against the building. You also see the Moraithi disk, a large striped tent and an old barrel with some stuff on it.
