Far east of this conversation, a pair of players were having the time of their lives.
In the eastern borderlands of Bastion City, in a part of the forest that had lost all its lusciousness to the point of almost being a marshland, Astaroth and Phoenix were currently dealing with a handful of powerful treants.
They were not particularly powerful, and Phoenix's fire was highly effective against them, but something set them apart from regular monsters. They showed cohesion.
The ones not being attacked would actively defend the others, sprouting roots and branches in the way of Phoenix's attacks or pushing Astaroth back when he charged. The other part of their strength came from the massive health pools they had.
These treants were level sixty and uncorrupted, but their aggressivity was reminiscent of corrupted monsters.
