When Kogeki see the event and see Pyra almost get crushed, Kogeki didn't think twice and activate Quick Attack! "Pyra!" And rushed towards the tree to push the tree out of the way with Quick Attack to give Pyra time to evade!

Action: Use Quick Attack to push the tree out of the way to give Pyra time to evade the tree falling at her!

Kee doesn't smell anything particularly out of the ordinary.

Analyzing the situation more carefully with Foresight, Kogeki realizes something about that loud tree: that was the sound of its bark creaking and cracking!  Which means...

...unfortunately, by the time Kogeki's used the context clues to figure out what will happen, it's already happening.  As Pyra walks up the the tree and begins to curiously touch it, another strong gust of wind blows past, and the old tree buckles under the force, its brittle bark cracking loudly...

...and the tree soon begins to fall over!

And it's going to fall right on top of Pyra!

Pyra does the only thing she can do as the old rotted tree falls towards her: jolt in shock before trying to dive-roll out of the way! Oh dear, oh dear, nature is now taking direct offense with her, so dodge its wrath she must!!

Order: Evasion attempt for Pyra to dodge out of the tree's fall path. She doesn't have any strong enough Moves I feel that could demolish the tree before it could hit her (Though a combined team attack might be able to do the trick, or Kee/Kogeki trying to knock the tree out of the way with their Tackle/Quick Attack, but those are just hypotheticals of mine), so I'm going for the fleet footed option here. Here's hoping this don't insta KO her if she trips over her feet, and force a 50 XP penalty on me to overcome before upgrading any other stats....

Action:
Evasion
Accuracy: DEX (2) + Fight (3) + Evasion (0) + Single Action (2) = 7D6 Base Dice
Effect: Get Pyra out of the way of that tree!

Dax yelps as he sees the enormous trees fall right on his demon-like companion and leaps to action. He decides to try using a Bubble on the falling tree so as to try and maybe deflect its path or just blow it up.

Bubble
Accuracy: 2 Dex + 2 Fight + 0 Channel +2 Single Action -2 Pain = 4d6
Effect: Push the tree aside or blow it up

Karen's eyes go wide when she sees the tree start falling.  "Pyra!"  She shuts her eyes in concentration and tries to imagine the tree stopping in midair...

I'll roll a few accuracy checks for the various actions that aren't Pyra's, and depending on how successful they are, that will determine how much easier Pyra's Evasion check will be to pass.  No +2 single action bonus since there's no time to concentrate, only time to react.

Confusion
(6)(3) 1 success

Bubble (Daxter would be fully healed by now thanks to the passive HP regen, so no pain)
(4)(5)(2)(2) 2 successes

Quick Attack
(5)(4)(1)(2)(1)(1) 1 success

Tackle
(5)(5)(4)(1)(6*) 4 successes

Total: 8 successes.  That'll reduce the number of successes Pyra needs to Evade successfully to 2.

Karen and Daxter's attacks combine to try and lessen the impact of the falling tree, while Kogeki and Kee slam into it in an attempt to redirect its path.  Kee's Tackle in particular has a lot of 'oomph!' behind it that seems to leave a noticeable impression on the tree's current course.

Evasion
(6)(5)(5)(4)(2) 4 successes!

Pyra has no trouble leaping out of the way as the tree hits the ground behind her.  As it hits the ground, a bunch of gravel and dirt gets tossed into the air and scattered!

When the dust settles, several larger rocks can be seen scattered around the tree that were likely buried in the gravel.  It looks like they would have hurt if they had hit someone...

Karen quickly walks over to Pyra and offers to help the Devimp stand back up.  "...are you okay, Pyra?  You're not hurt, are you?"

[no one]

"Oh good. She's alright. Good to see you didn't get mashed, love. Any scratches or anything like that?"

[Spiritmon]

Kogeki try to focus the strengh in his feet, putting more strengh to make the tree fall far away from Pyra. When everyone efforts make it possible for Pyra to get out of the way, Kogeki rush together with Karen to help Pyra stand up. "Did you hurt something? Are you okay?" When Kogeki help Pyra stand up, Kogeki look at the falling tree and clench his punch. "...Damn it. I was to much slow to help react in time in my Foresight. In the moment I see the vision it was happening already. Without the help of everyone, you could..."

Kogeki close his eyes and tell everyone. "...Sorry people. And more importantly, sorry Pyra. I promise to sharp my Foresight next time to be able to predict more forward the dangers ahead. Thats a promise I will make sure in complete."

Karen quickly walks over to Pyra and offers to help the Devimp stand back up.  "...are you okay, Pyra?  You're not hurt, are you?"

The lil' fiendess blinks Noctowlishly at her friend's (presumably) smol outstretch hand, a tad dazed from the startled tumble she took to get out of the way of that rotten tree, until she smiles and takes it to get back up (probably nearly toppling Karen in the process).

"Yes yes, indeed I am fine and alright everyone! Little small bit dirty from my brief meeting with the stony dirt, but my body is whole and healthy and I myself full of mirth!"

She then looks around at everyone and gives them perhaps her most dazzlingly happy smile yet, practically saturating everyone in its saccharine glory!

"My companions and friends most dear, thank you for helping save me from that old tree. Thought I would meet a most cruelly ironic fate, my Fire and Darkness crush by a dead plant, but nay and no, you refused to let that outcome become. Again, once more I must say, I thank you all, from the bottom of my heart."

Now if that isn't gratitude, she'll have to make her feeling much clear soon!

Once everyone recovers from the shock of the now fallen tree, Pyra would do one of two things: Investigate it , the mess it made, and the area it once stood, and see if she can't take some bark and/or big branches from the tree itself. Oh, and if any thing interesting was unearthed by said dead tree's collapse - don't leave any stones unturned , especially ones that almost brutalized you!

[Dragonstrike]

A particularly large branch definitely seemed to have snapped off of the tree when it fell.

Several of those larger, hurty looking rocks are scattered around the area as well. Looks like they could be picked up and thrown with one hand.

Well then, if the Large Branch can be carried by Pyra (or broken down a bit in size if she can't to make it possible), she'd totally take it/carry it with her! A big stick like that could have a whole bunch of uses, or could be used to hit someone harder with at least! She'd also take the time to gather up those Pointy Rocks and stuff them into her Bag (if she has one; I forget if the A.G. gave everyone one) or asking Kee to store them in his (if not), as having a ranged option to hit stuff (among other things) also sounded useful! If it would be faster for everyone to help her out collecting said P.R.s she'd nicely ask for their assistance - they were still on a clock of sorts to find Stuffel before Team Gallop, even if she was taking things slowly

Lastly, she'd lead the group North and to the East on their current Tile at Slow Pace, as she didn't want to backtrack unnecessarily again if she could avoid it, and nearly getting squished flat by that tree proved their was merit it taking things cautiously as possible.

When everyone chooses to fret over rescued Pyra and make sure she's okay, Ziggy Kee prefers to stay little back/aside to give the fierly demon some time to recover and collect herself again; he takes these few moments to clean fir fine black-white fur of any scattered sand and dust. He gives Kogeki a reassuring 'nah, pwease dont blame yarself for what happened'-gesture+look and Pyra a timid yet honestly relieved glance, then blushes all faintly over her genuine gratitude and mutters "M.... my pleasure" before looking away again.

Now before continuing, he himself will chomp/break off a particularly non-super-dry branch of that fallen tree to take along himself (it get packed away into his guita-bag-thingy where it'll stick a little out) and one of those larger, hurty looking rocks that will also packed away (Unless Pyra wants them allfor herself). Could be useful for whatever along the lines!

Furthermore, he checks and sees whether they can't go eastwards now (to the Second Objective = likely Stufful) now that such a large part of the tree/branch has fallen down, or whether it's still impassable. If it's passable though, he'll point this out to Pyra.
