I finally finished.
We can go with the latter, that all that would be seen is the tree disintegrate, whatever makes the most sense.
Alright, thanks. That'll work, but since this world is humans at the moment, the characters will be frightened/bewildered. Demons/Sorcery is starting to appear, but it's not fully known.
I'll get a post up probably in 1~4 days again. My ideas for the post are
1. Revealing the carriage man's purpose.
2. Finding out what started the crash.
3. Details on the Thief (Unless you would prefer to expand on that instead of me)
4. My character confronting your character about the lost sword.
I can advance the plot farther, if you tell me how you would like to interaction to go between My character and Your Character about the lost sword, or I can end my post there to give you the chance to explain.
