Sounds like a productive morning!! Those tree guys are tough.
I went online for the last hour. I also went buy the Tree people, twice!! I killed about 12 of them maybe more. I completed the steps that bypass some of the Tree people but miscounted the wood, thought it said 50, so I had to go back and get more wood to finish it, haha.
I killed the Tree guys with arrows, I have upgraded my Archery Skills to the first level at the shrine. It takes 3 arrows to kill one tree man if you hit them right. As an experiment I brought 5 dynamite and torch with me. MY plan was to blow them up

Failed, the dynamite didn't damage them at all, even when they were standing in the middle. So yeah, 5 dynamite wasted!!
yeah those forts or whatever are they for us to use as a base for exploring more? Or what?
Oh, I found a massive two handed axe with a lantern filled with 80 coal attached. Which one of you guys dropped it??


I put it in the storage in the miners building.
