Jigano had found a rhythm and though he was beginning to tire he still had a little magic left in him. He pulled together the last of the seeds that hadn't blown away and moved down to another patch of ground, continuing the process he had now practiced twice. It went faster the the third time, and soon six more trees were growing upwards from the enriched soil, young but strong and healthier than anything else around them thanks to the healing magic the bard pushed into the soil around their roots.
He pushed them as tall as he could, feeling the magic flow out of him until only the dregs were left, and there he collapsed back on his hands in the good, black dirt, grinning as he looked up at his work. The last batch were as tall as he was, and with any luck (and a little attention from his healing hands when he was passing through) they'd remain healthy and thick-boughed to block the wind.
He rested for awhile until he felt strong enough to make it back to the Settlement, going over to report his success to Loren and bid the man good luck before going off to find something to eat. He was ravenous after expending so much magic, and looking forward to a hot meal - or at least pillaging the bakery to beg a loaf from Amalia, now that the Rathskeller kitchen was no longer a thing.
