The tree is odd, rather than the usual bark, it's leafy all the way down to the base, and the trunk feels ribbed, but Sam manages to get up without too much of a fuss, as he gets a good view of another tree bending with a loud creak as a large bipedal reptile slowly climbs onto it, hopping slightly on the tilting treetop as the surprisingly flexible tree sways like a trampoline.
The girl catches sight of the reptile and rapidly ascends, even as her opponent flails at the threads all over him.
