[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 3270387, member: 30035"] [b]Letter #2[/b] Dearest brother; Our adventures continued after we returned to Highfolk. I made my way back to the Lake Tree while the twins remained at the Green Inn to look after the injured man. The following morning I returned to the inn to see how the man fared. On the way I encountered Thyrothorus Ludovicianus. You'll remember him, I think - the gnome with the interest in birds. He's been looking after birds for a local merchant. In his typical chatterbox way, he drew out of me the story of my recent adventures. He was so interested in the twins and the orc trouble in the Vesve that he accompanied me to the Green Inn. When we arrived at the inn we found that the injured man had regained consciousness. He introduced himself as Corian. He'd been traveling to the village of Fairhill when he was attacked by the orcs. I grew worried that the orcs would next attack Fairhill. Thor agreed with this concern and wanted to go at once to see to the safety of the villagers. The twins offered to go along. Corian had intended to investigate an old fortress outside the village, so we planned to make our way to Fairhill as soon as Corian was recovered enough to travel. While we waited for Corian to heal, Thor and I took the twins on a tour of Highfolk. During our travels about the city we encountered a fairy, who told us that the Lord of the Green wished to speak with us, but she couldn't tell us when or where he wanted to meet with us. We went to the Green Inn to dine and saw once more the man in green Shishir had observed on the previous day. We now suspected this to be a disguise used by the Lord of the Green. Thor chatted with some of the hunters who were preparing to seek the oktobear, attempting to persuade them to give up the hunt. I think he just confused them. Later the man in green approached our table. We discussed our plan to visit Fairhill with him, all the while pretending to be strangers. He made remarks that indicated to us that we were welcome to use the fey portal to shorten our journey. He also presented us with some fey tokens. By the next day Corian had recovered enough to travel, so we made our exit from the city through the tree portal and emerged in the forest. We re-examined the area where we had slain the orcs, finding that their corpses had vanished. We assumed that the fey had disposed of them. While we were in that area we were set upon by stirges. Corian and I were slightly wounded, but the creatures didn't pose a serious threat to us and we continued our journey to Fairhill. Along the way we came upon an abandoned house. As we approached we heard sounds resembling those of a small child in distress. We decided to investigate cautiously. Peering inside, I saw a catlike creature. Though at first I couldn't recall what the creature was, I remembered that it was dangerous, though this one appeared to be only a cub. Despite my warning the twins rashly went straight into the house, and the cat-thing clawed Shishir. A larger cat-creature appeared, undoubtedly the mother of the cub, and we directed our concern at it. I at last recalled that the creature was a leucrotta. We could do little to harm the leucrotta, but once wounded she fled with her cub. We found no sign that orcs had been near, and so continued toward Fairhill. When we arrived, we found the village in a state of disarray. As I'd feared orcs had attacked and had stolen a sacred crucible from the temple of Freya. I found this unlikely behavior for orcs. I suspected that the orcs might be in the service of some other being. We were introduced to the local magistrate, Arlen, and to Shandril, priestess of Freya, and offered them our aid in combating the orcs. Now we need to determine a course of action. I'll write again and let you know how we fare. Your sister, Lothiriel [/QUOTE]
