Keyleth: Ah, she doesn't look all right. Ah, Vex, wait up.

YN: I don't think she can hear us.

Vax tries to stop his sister, but his feet sunk in the black goo.

Vax: Vex?

Others try to catch up with her but the black goo is slowing them down.

Vax: How is she passing through this muck?

YN: This is definitely Saundor's doing. No doubt.

Percy: Vex'ahlia!

Vex couldn't hear them at all, all she can hear are Saundor whispers while she continues to walk.

Vex: Can you hear me?

Saundor: Not only hear you...See you...feel you...I can understand your pain...if approval you seek, your father will never give it.

Saundor then opens the tree, offering her to enter which she did while others try to catch up.

He then reveals himself with a smile to me from inside of the tree roots as I approach him on a leave that lifts me up.
