Great Forest Arc: Bark

You emerge from the glassway having come from the recently attacked hole. In front of you is a dilapidated stone archway with runic symbols etched into the weathered rock. Currently, you are in a grove surrounded by tall trees. Off in the distance you can see a massive tree with golden leaves and hanging vines. The tree looms over the entire forest. The sun is nearly set, the light diffusing through the jungle canopy. 
[Roleplay]
(Roll a perception check: DC) As you walk, you arrive at a place where the dense canopy opens into a clearing. A lake lit by moonlight resides in the middle of the clearing. You hear rustling in the trees above you. "My sister's stories don't do you justice, I was only expecting three of you." A red haired man with dark robes is seated on a thick branch. "Well, it seems they've added two members to their little group." Eriyah steps out onto the branch.  "They don't look like much, this'll be easy." "I agree, we'll be bringing their heads back to Dragon before sunrise." Eriyah leaps from the tree, unsheathing a sword mid leap. She stabs downwards, frost billowing off the blade. The lake begins to freeze rapidly and the two land in the middle of it.  "Come fools, and meet your demise."

Have them break Gilton's blade.

As you all continue the journey to the Great Tree, the trees begin to change from regular green leaves, to slightly glowing gold ones. The trees in this area seem to be way smaller than the ones you just passed by. You notice what appear to be destroyed wooden foundations of old homes. (Nature check DC 12: You can tell that the same energy coming off the Great tree is present in these trees, possibly due to their proximity to it. These trees are clearly younger, but have grown faster.) As you keep walking, Optimus and Gilton, you both feel a presence up ahead that seems extremely familiar. As you continue walking a path appears, lighting itself, the brush seemingly clearing to make way. You soon come up on a cabin, with a incredible aroma coming from within. The outside is quaint, a small wooden cabin with a sign that says, "Brogar's Magic Shop."  The windows glow with the radiant light from within the cabin, inviting you inside. 
You step through the wooden door and are greeted by rows and rows of neatly organized weapons and armor. There are barrels at the end of some of the shelves that contain an assortment of weapons or armor. "Howdy folks, y'all doin alright this evening?" Standing at a counter is a Dwarvish man. His arms and legs are prosthetics, approximately the size of human limbs. This leads to him having a strange appearance, as his torso is entirely too small for this to not look ridiculous. "Hey, are yall out here to see the eclipse?"
The eclipse is in 3 days.
As you are exploring the store, you see about 8 shadows seemingly etched into the wooden floor. Brogar sees you staring at them. "Oh yeah, them's from the old owner of this place.
Shop keeper inventory.
Voltstar: Gilton magic item. It appears as a volatile weapon that is shifting shapes. This weapon was originally Adonn's wolf and weapon. Have it be a weapon with a mind of its own. Let Gilton take it if he can tame the beast within. Optimus can help.
Gilton as you grab the weapon, reality unravels around you, leaving nothing but an empty black void. In front of you is the only percievable structure. You see a massive stone wall with huge bars and a padlock. (Growling low voice) "Who are you to tame Thundera, Spear of Adonn?"
After Gilton gets out of this, the weapon takes the shape of a morningstar in his hand.
Optimus, upon one of the shelves you see a wooden staff with elaborate carvings. As you take it into your hand, the carvings glow blue and a faint hum can be heard.
Windstaff: Can create an updraft once a day. Can glide any time. Can turn into a spear. When it is a spear it cannot do staff things. Staff: 1d6+4 Spear: 2d6+4. Can transform as a bonus action.
Beetle necklace:

Nature's Grace: The amulet grants an additional 1d6 to all healing spells cast by the wearer.
Revitalizing Surge: Once per long rest, the Tabaxi Druid can use a bonus action to channel the amulet's magic, causing a burst of energy to surge through her healing spells. For the next minute, all healing spells restore an additional 2d8 hit points.
Photosynthesis Resilience: The amulet provides advantage on saving throws against diseases and poisons, echoing the Tabaxi Druid's connection to nature and reinforcing her resilience.
They head out to the tree.

As you cut the bark from the tree, all of you see reality itself unravel, strands flying off in different directions, then reforming to create entirely different structures. There is a sprawling golden landscape as far as the eye can see. Crops flourish and flowers bloom all around you. From above a golden light descends. (feminine voice) "What is it you desire with this sacred object?" Selvanna is here to speak to the party. She'll ask them some questions and answer their questions.
