Damek dashed forwards as the bear raised itself up while activating his Amphibiate ability. He made to dive at the chest and see if he can bite the sphere inside or just the water skin outside. He hoped his metallic coat and very strong strength would give him some benefit here.
Olo drew Smile in a slash towards the vine, using the buff from the sheath for the ruby effect and having it also have a jasper and topaz effect. After the slice at the vine, a Daze and Flight assisted jump up and over should put Olo away from the vine and immediate danger. "You know, I really didn't want to hurt you. You are a very cool tree man thing."
Damek held his breath as the sting hit him. He activated Iron Champion as he used how far he felt the stinging sensation to gauge roughly how far into the body he had gone. If he was close enough he tried to get the orb into his mouth; if he was not yet far enough, he thrashed about in an attempt to get closer to the insides and the orb.
The vine wrapped around Olo's chest before he could react, but the slash severed it after a moment of breathless squeezing. He didn't have time enough to get away before another tree limb swung at him in a cross.
Damek found that activating iron champion in the water wasn't his best plan. The increased weight made it nearly impossible for him to stay in the beast and he went clatterring to the floor.
**Arl pulls herself higher with her talon-clutching hand, letting the attacking talon pull back her hood. The girl simultaneously ports her sword to her hand and attempts to thrust it into the bird's body, her shield clattering to the floor below.**[278]
The flaming avian beast screamed in fury as the sword entered it. They both went flying towards the ground, the monster's grip was tighter than ever and it aimed to slam her head into the ground.
**Arl twists her feet towards the ground, quickly landing on another platform of light. She lets go of her sword, porting it back to her hand for another quick stab.**[279]
Olo raised his sword keeping up topaz and jasper while adding ruby. He decided to test if it had a mind by using mindlash while flying away from the limb and tried to slice the limb as it got closer.
Quick to recover, Damek was sprinting almost as soon as he hit the ground. Seeing that his armor allowed him to more easily pass through the water monster, he had a new plan. He ran straight to the wall and up it.
**There needs to be clarification on how the crown works for this part**
If crown allows Damek to run on the ceiling, he does that with the intent to drop onto the bear from above.
If crown only allows running on the walls, he begins to run in circles around the room on the walls.
The force behind the firehawk was greater than Arl expected, sweeping her from the light platform easily. Her sword dug deep into the flaming bird as her head slammed into the rock floor, almost fracturing her skull and leaving a nasty bruise and lump on the back of her head.
The tree monster roared in a grumbling voice as the mindlash struck home. The flames seared away the leaves and scorched the wood. The monster pulled its limb away quickly in pain.
After looking over the crown I am going to say that walking upside down is outside of the intent for the item.
The water bear roared and tried to spin circles swiping at the wolf, but it was not as nimble as the wall walking canine.
"See, I knew you had a mind. I don't really want to keep hurting you. If yo ucan just make a simple way for me to get that green thing in your chest, I will stop hurting you." Olo said. He hoped the thing would try to help itself, but planning that it wouldn't he was ready to parry again with the imbued blade and a mindlash at the first sign of attack.
Damek waited until the bear tried and failed a swipe that ended with its back towards him. At that moment he lunged off the wall towards the bear looking to land over the orb so that the weight of him would rip it from the bear.
The tree beast let out another growling roar as if frustrated and slammed its fists down into the ground before Olo.
Damek's lunge brought him directly over the orb. He felt the orb in his jaws closed on it and his extra weight carried him straight through. There was a splashing sound and the water bear was nothing more than a puddle on the floor.
By the time Arl came fully back to her senses she was covered in the firehawk's blood and gore, the beast was dead.
**Arl frowns as she pokes the hawk's body. He wasn't a summon? He wasn't effected by her cuirass either, so he might have been pretty smart... the girl sorrowfully turns the body over and tries to remove the red orb.**
"Ok, Mr Tree. I would like to end this as painlessly as possible for you. So Don't attack me now and you won't get hurt more." Olo said. He then dashed forwards in an attempt to get to the orb. He is ready to mindlash and dodge if he gets attacked.
Damek shook the water from his fur, shaking away the armor as he did so. He trotted off back down the tunnel, assuming no other room opened after the water bear turned into a puddle.
**Arl takes a feather from the bird - just to see if it vanishes later - and checked the walls of the room to make sure she wasn't missing anything else.**
"Fine. I guess you want to do this the hard way. I am sorry for this, you seem like you're just displaced." Olo said as he cast Restorative Flame on himself as he took the imbued smile, stabbed it into the wall of plant matter, and started trying to cut a path through it.
Flight and flames maintained until further notice.
A vine shot out of the arm towards Olo's leg as the tree beast gave a rumbling growl.
Damek flew into the waterbear's chest and was immediately surrounded by water that stung him like acid.

The light platform fades, leaving nothing besides the held talon keeping Arl aloft.**[277]

Damek made it safely back to the center chamber.
The corpse burst into flames and was consumed. The feather remained in her possession.
