Jarome walks in the center of the group as he processes and assembles what he knows of their escorts. Finally he begins to quietly relate his conclusions to the others.

"These constructs are known as Wyrwoods. They were created by the ancient civilization, meant to aid their researchers in discovering the mysteries of the stars and helping to develop new technologies, beyond anything we know today. They are no simple constructs, made of wood and magic in equal parts. They possess sentience and are capable of independent action, they do not need to be commanded at every turn. They were not meant as protectors, but I believe since the Forest expanded, they have taken up that role from themselves. Certainly there are many old tales of 'wooden people' who live in the depths of the forest, guarding ancient ruins and old bastions of civilization. I believe that this Sanctuary is one of those bastions. As for the religious symbols, I believe they are of Nuha, Goddess of Technology and Hubal, God of Time and Knowledge, both gods from the Old Pantheon from before the fall. One thing of note... while Wyrwoods are ancient, these four are not. Either they are relatively newly created, or somehow have been very well preserved."

At the question about his wand, he nods to Darach. "When we find Corrin, I can expand the rest of my magical energy in healing spells and use the wand to finish healing everyone injured in fighting those horrible beasts."
