Vinoh manages to get the group's avian guides near him and is relieved that his power is able to hold them for now. He sees the massive cloud-like bird give chase to Evenyth and wonders at the shadow mage's words. Could his break from the Dark spell trouble for this band of adventurers? Is this thing really after the birds or Evenyth? Perhaps it is just a scout testing their capabilities? Whatever it was, Vinoh knows that it can't survive this encounter, lest it alert the Dark of their presence, if it wasn't aware of it already...
The mind mage then sees Tower return to the path holding a tree. His call to Evenyth making his intentions plain, Vinoh addresses the group:
"Everyone, clear a path for Tower! Give him some room! Nobody should be near him when that tree comes down!"
Vinoh backs up, still maintaining his mental hold on the birds, fearing that they might flee if released.
