Observant people may note that Garo looks quite tired and grumpy today. However, anybody that observant would've also realised a while ago that Garo usually looks tired and grumpy, so that's okay.

Currently, he's stalking around the entrance to Hogwarts, looking exceptionally cheesed off, half-heartedly going through sword forms. Botherable.

Will's eyes do up and something green flashes in his eyes,

"'rhaps tis a lost god o'the woods."

"Yeah, but a good god or a bad one?" Kate asked, though she noted the flash of green from Will.

"Assuming it's a forest god. Might not be."

"Only way to find out is to ask."

Kate nodded and turned to Will, "You'd know better than either of us. What should we do? Just walk up to it?"

Garo turns to Will, waiting for his answer.

"Be respectful, aye."

Will starts forward, his steps much quieter.

"All right, lead the way," She said, taking care to quiet her own steps.

Garo's steps are always pretty much silent, so he's not too bothered about trying to be quiet as he moves after them.

As they get closer and the air starts to change, Will tries to look for the face of the thing.

Kate's grip tightened on her bow, and her blue eyes flashed as she glanced around.

Garo watches Will, before peering around to find a face.

"I ain't seeing anything. Looks like a very big tree t'me."

"Good day, Lord Tree."

Will calls up and high above.

Kate placed a finger to her lips at Garo, and then looked up, waiting.

The tree doesn't respond.

Garo looks up, looking a little bemused. A moment later his head snaps around, peering at some of the denser roots suspiciously.

Will waits and takes Kate's hand as the air seems to shift and move.

She thought she heard a distant snap, and the pollen smell was getting stronger. Her free hand brought her bow as her grip on Will's clenched.

Garo looks increasingly agitated, one hand reaching to his back to grip his sword as he peers about.

Will sneezes as a flower blows pollen and spores into his face and he wobbles slightly.

Kate glanced at him, "Bless you, and steady."

Sounded like there was some movement, but from where?

"We shouldn't stick around here. Hasty retreat back to the castle, anyone?"

Will nods through his sneezes and holds Kate's hand.

Kate frowned at that, and gripped Will's hand.

"Right. Need an overview anyway." She started to turn around to walk away.

Garo starts meandering away from the tree, stopping abruptly when he hears a noise.

From amongst the roots, and then from amongst the buildings, Creepers start to stagger out, rustling across the ground and towards them, claws out.

Will's still sneezing and feeling strange but draws his sword ready to fight the Creepers,

"Garo, run!"
