He reflexively rubs at it with his right hand, wondering when it might have happened. Then he realizes it was from communing with the giant cypress tree.
"It is from the Lady of the Forest. It was the price I paid for saving Celadon," he says, trying to sound mysterious and casual at the same time.
"A high price indeed," the Owl elf says, crossing her arms, returning her gaze back to the room...her room. She walks over to the secret floor plate Greystone discovered and with her foot, presses it back into place. Her eyes never leave Greystone's face while she does this. "Don't you have somewhere else to be?" her tone is frosty, like the glare from her eyes.

So tell me who is the captain? I would love to meet with him, and what where your findings? we could go over them together to make sure he gets a thorough crisp report.

But still...If you're really my friend, and you want me to trust you, then you'll untie me. These bonds are cutting my skin and...I have to piss something fierce!"

Freed from his bonds, Shumar wastes not time, opening his breeches, removing his manhood, and relieving himself from the upper walkway. "Here dwarf! Have a taste!" he yells down at Thurgrum, laughing as the priest of Moradin scrambles to avoid the dreaded yellow rain.
Shumar laughs as he pisses and then after finishing and lacing up his breeches, he clasps Dalivere on the shoulder, wiping his hand as he does, and sighs deeply. "Thank you, my friend. I was about to burst! And how about that fracking dwarf! Ha! Now, my things. I remember that damned elf pilfering everything while I was held in place. Find him, and you find my belongings."
Shumar gives Lysander a long look, his hands running over his belt...where his weapons and belt pouches used to be.

Moving up the tree beside the great cypress, Darkstar (and I'm assuming the rest of those below > Purvan, Thurgrum, & Thaleese) follows Celadon up into the canopy. The Owl leader passes many of his warriors, whom he greets affectionately before moving on ahead. He tops out nearly 100 feet above the ground and begins to walk around the tree, heading toward what looks like a walkway bridging the gap to another copse of cypress trees farther behind. There are many Owl elves standing around, along with many giant owls sitting in the branches. Celadon looks around and raises his fist.
"The Lady has seen fit to deliver us from the hands of our enemies! She sent outsiders to our aid and the black robes are no longer our masters!"
The Owls raises their weapons and hands and yell loudly (many of them hoot loudly).
"Tonight...we feast...and heal...and rebuild our community! We are Owls > once again we shall rule the night!"
The forest erupts in a cacophony of hollering and hooting and the beginnings of celebration. In the distant trees, drums can be heard and the elves begin moving toward the sounds. Celadon turns to Darkstar and his companions and smiles.
"Feast with us tonight, my friends. Let us talk of this battle and where the Lady shall lead us from here."

Alright fellers > it was time for a new thread and a new direction. I've quoted some of the conversations from the previous thread and will delete them there (to keep the thread at 20 pages, per the preferences of the mods). What are your plans?
Currently, Greystone is talking with one of the female Owls, while Dalivere and Lysander are dealing with Shumar. The rest of you are with Celadon, moving toward the main camp of the Owls.
