Jayant Thornleaf exclaims, "Let us commence!"

The druids move and form a circle around the totem. Each stands at a cardinal point; Jayant, leading
at the northernmost point, while the rest file in at the remaining spots.

Jayant raises the bowl of sap, and quickly anoints himself with the substance. He passes it to his
right, Esen, who promptly anoints herself and once again passes the bowl.

A moment passes as both Temmal and Emaleth apply the golden sap upon their brow; the latter druid
returns the bowl to Jayant.

Jayant moves closer to the totem, gingerly rubbing the golden sap into the silvery wood.

A warm emerald shimmer imbues the totem, dissipating as quickly as it appeared.

Jayant Thornleaf says, "Okay, now everybody listen."

Jayant Thornleaf looks at the other druids, discerningly, before he continues, "Focus your energy.
All of it."

Jayant Thornleaf exclaims, "Feel the last vestiges of nature here, stirring within you. Focus it,
and project it on our hopes to stop the abomination!"

Jayant Thornleaf looks again and nods, lowering his head in concentration. Collectively, Esen,
Temmal, and Emaleth respond with a similar gesture.

Seconds pass as the druids concentrate; then a minute flies by.

Sparkles of golden light manifest along the length of the totem, caressing the icon and spiraling
upwards.

Green energy also blooms as the golden light moves; the sounds of the earth, moving, shifting,
speaking whispers through the air.

As the magic quickly mounts, the light suddenly explodes and releases a ring of magic that expands
and surveys beyond the outpost.

The ground shudders and rumbles as the collective noise of rock and earth crashes upon one another
reverberates throughout the wastelands.
You lucky little fink! An iron ticket materializes in your hand!
Your karma rises in response to your deeds.

You have gained a new honour!

The druids cheer and grasp for one another, celebrating in their accomplishment.
Esen Rainsong exclaims, "Oh, oh, oh! We've done it!"
Esen Rainsong launches herself upon Emaleth and Temmal, the three of them jumping with excitement
and hollering proudly.

Once more the druids cheer altogether, the final hurrahs gleefully said as Esen and Emaleth depart,
leaving Temmal standing beside the totem happily and Jayant in a state of reverie.

Jayant Thornleaf says, "You have saved us, Viynain. Without your assistance, we would have never
been able to accomplish what we have done here today."

Smiling, Jayant Thornleaf says, "The Slaghora'ruin has been stopped. Though, I do fear that this may
be a temporary solution. The war is far from over."
Jayant Thornleaf gives a pained sigh.

Jayant Thornleaf exclaims, "But still, you have done so much and we have little to give save our
thanks. Again, thank you!"

Jayant Thornleaf bows humbly before you and then departs.
