"I have not had the opportunity to take the lives of so many Treekillers for quite some time," the puppet croaks. Slowly, the Matriarch raises her hand and with a slight gesture, as if waving a fly away, makes you fall backward over the edge. You hear the shocked screams of your travel companions as you expect to fall to your death. But the vines are there to support and catch you. They wrap themselves around your body and push you back onto the platform. The Matriarch sits back down on her throne and her puppet speaks again, "I'll let you live, but you will do something for me in return."
