Clumps of fur caught in the grasping branches hint at others who haunt the forest.  Since the fur is about waist-high on a Gor'Tog, these others are perhaps more dangerous than an occasional thorn.</description>

  <node id="43" name="Pin Oak, Lower Branches">
    <description>The lowest branches in the tree are thick and strong, tilting down toward the ground in an invitation to greater feats of climbing.  In the side of the trunk itself, some young lover has carved his beloved's initials, framed by a crude heart.</description>

  <node id="44" name="Pin Oak, Midway">
    <description>Midway up the trunk, the branches stretch out almost perfectly parallel to the ground.  The bases of the branches are largely free of leaves and offshoots, such that a spot where several burly branches have grown in close proximity makes for a secure perch, even in the darkness.  Farther out on the limbs, leaves grow thickly enough to block out any stars that might otherwise have been visible, closing around in such a way as to give the impression of being sealed in a cocoon.</description>

Farther out on the limbs, leaves grow thick and vibrant, making this spot the center of a secure cocoon of greenery.</description>

  <node id="45" name="Pin Oak, Treetop">
    <description>At the very top of the tree, the branches grow more ambitious and stretch out toward the sky.  From this height the ground is almost impossible to see, though the lights of a city are just barely discernable to the south.</description>
    <description>The branches here grow thinner and more impatient for light.  They strain upward, intent on gathering every stray bit of precious energy that the sun sees fit to bestow, leaving little more than a pool of shadow for the grasses growing far below.</description>

    <description>Many feet and wagons have used this path as is evident by the hard packed soil beneath your feet.  Looking to the northwest you see a small building in the distance.  To the southeast lies the town, its high walls offering sanctuary to those who call it home.  Along the river bank to the south you watch as a trader works a mule that is pulling a small barge up stream.</description>

    <description>The forest gives way to the banks of a swift-flowing river.  No bridge crosses the water, and the far bank is too steep to clamber out.</description>

    <description>Crystal clear water tumbles, icy cold, over the rounded pebbles of the streambed.  Spray slicks the dark grey rocks on either side.  The current pushes you toward the south bank where, despite the wet surface, an agile climber could probably scramble out of the water.  Just downstream, the creek flows over a pile of logs tumbled higgledy-piggledy like some giant's jackstraws.</description>
