Kawtari grasped Akira by hre upper arm and pulled her away from the noble before the halfbreed could undress the corpse.
"There is no need to despoil the dead, no matter who they were in life.
Now, you other elves. What do you intend to do? If it is banditry, it is pratical to kill you here, but you could still make something of yourselves. Hunting, perhaps, or return to your home. But if you intend banditry, I will kill you as a matter of practicality. "
{
"We are not here because we want to be. You have no reason to trust us, but we do intend to try to get home to our lands in the Glimmerwoods if you free us. We swear to the old powers, and the new."} he says, and the others nod and agree.
{
"And we are not bandits-we did not hurt the Shaman Woman...though, Lord Matia said he would not mind if 'savages' such as ourselves...despoiled her. None of us harmed her...though, we surely would have done so, if you had not defeated us. The Gods have perhaps saved our souls this way..."}
---Once he was a bit away from the group, Sarco furtively pulled out the wisp orb and tried to pull the wisps back into their home with his mind. Once they were once again safely ensconced within the orb he once again cast his mind into it as he did when he learned their history, seeking some type of contact with the wisps. The way that they had attacked his concentration during the battle would not stand. It was time to communicate to them what the situation was.
Sarco finds the Wisps will speak to him, as he pulls them back-they go willingly, having fed well today...
Their sound in his mind they make is always a soft, discordant babble of screaming, crying souls-strong words breaking through the din in many different voices. One of the voices he hears clearly is Matia's, which is really the sort of thing that puts a shiver in his spine.
"What...you...wish...holder..." It says, whispering as if it was standing right on his shoulder.
---The group tromps over, minus Sarco-hostages in tow, to loot the Elven camp...
The party breaks off into singles to search the tents, leaving Tadhg to watch the prisoners. He does take the time to gather up their equipment. Aside from blades and armor, he does find a
particular device, on Janu-it looks like a
tiny wooden pipe, only the size of his smallest claw.

Tiny Wooden PipeAkira breaks into the richest, noblest looking tent-judging by the decorations, this was Matia's private room. There's nothing terribly interesting...aside from lots of tasteless, expensive jewelery, heavy furniture he probably made the Wild Elves carry up mountains, and chests of heavy gold and silvers coins he brought along with him for some reason. He also has quite a collection of extremely good wine in four casks. Apparently he was quite the connoisseur. Once she's stripped the furnishings, she reckons she has about three hundred gold in bulk good, coin and loot. She also finds his mostly tasteful wardrobe.
+300 GoldAldeth searches the opposite end of the camp, checking the smaller, personal tents of the Elven warriors. She finds very little-the Wild Elves travel light. She finds a few coins, extra pieces of clothing, tools for carving, some
Wild Elf paint pots, and various tools for mending clothes and repairing weapons. All in all, only about ten gold worth of stuff here.
+4 Wild Elf Paint Pots
+10 GoldSamara checks what looks to be a tent for storing equipment-most of it is was taken by the warriors, though she does find four good hide shields, and more bolts and arrows. She also finds what she was really looking for-the
crystal owl they were using to exchange messages. It's currently sitting quietly on it's metal post, giving her an eerie sideways glance. She can see a silver glove on a post beside it, no doubt the control device.
+4 Shields
Crystal Construct: OwlKawtari enters the nicest smelling tent to find it was likely the kennel-a fairly comfortable place for the dogs to sleep, under shelter.
She almost finds nothing but straw, leather toys, and bits of bones and meal-but she hears a small sound in the very back, right before she leaves...her careful exploration reveals a very small, newborn Elf pup. It's got dark, dusty greenish fur growing on it's back, and as she checks to makes sure it's alive, the pup opens it's deep, dark green eyes, and looks at the Kenku steadily, making small noises that sound less like growls and more like questions...
+1 Elven Hound PupEveryone hears the yelling and shouting coming from the tent in the center of the camp. It sounds like a young womans voice.
"Hello? Is anybody out there? I'm awful thirsty, if you ain't come to kill me-if ya' are, well then I'm just fine, ya go on about yer business." She replies, her sardonic tone an eerie imitation (of course she's the original) of Janu.
