He also has several lifts that can lift anything from a pile of crates, to livestock, to an entire wagon up into the safety of the tree for the evening.

History
They all came from different backgrounds and stories and had their own reasons to do so, but one and all found themselves in the small town of Edenmoor and the cusp of adventure. Signing aboard as additional guard for a grand caravan to the west and Emerald City by The Mailed Fist, the party set out. 8 days into the journey, one of the wagons has come upon a problem. The rear axle and wheels have not only come apart, much of the fittings have been torn to sawdust. Garretn Von Klempt, Captain of the Mailed Fist has chosen the party as the souls who will stand against the raiders of the Red Hills and Izen as the the merchants oils to get the wagon operational. Night is falling
Death tried to come that night. Death in the form of goblin raiders from the Red Hills. They rode in on goblin dogs, nearly 3 to 1 against the small band of protectors. The battle was short and bloody with one of the guards, Bonivus the minotaur, falling to the enemy's blades and teeth. The party of Atals, Mack, Lilith Crosseye and Bonivus did win the day in the end. Killing a dozen of the foul goblins and 4 of their dogs. Quick action saved the life of Bonivus and the party continued their journey. It has been 2 days since the attack, hopefully there will be no others. The Tree of Parting is only a day further.
The party made it to the Tree and discovered that their survival upon the road is being considered a small miracle. The Chancers Club is hosting a Ball throughout the Tree as well. Crowded does not do the congestion about justice. Some participated in the games and festivities, others did not and eventually all sought some sleep. Again, our heroes are denied of such luxury as a pair of hungry Ankhegs erupt from the ground in search of food. the party, with new friends, Udhomer and Iraldas, vanquish the foul beasts.
The party has just concluded breakfast and have accepted a the offer to become residents, a coveted title to the Tree of Parting, extended to them because of their heroics as of late. They have also met with an initiate to the Chancers Club and reason of the previous nights ball. Gaston by name, and he has offered to hire the party to accompany him into the unknown of the Eastern Woods to stay for 5 days.
