[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 3290969, member: 30035"] [b]Letter #17[/b] Dearest Brother; After a few days with the druids, we set off to investigate the spirit stones once again. Zengar the ranger agreed to come along with us. It seems that trouble will always find our little party. Before we could seek out the first spirit stone we stumbled upon an injured man. Introducing himself as Arad once he was healed enough to speak, he explained that he and his six companions had been traveling through the forest when they heard a strange music at night and went to investigate the sound. They were attacked by unknown creatures in the dark, and only Arad remained. He had been scored by bird-like claws, though a very large bird it must have been. We made our way to the site where Arad and his friends had camped, and left him there in the care of Zengar and Liselle while we searched the area. It appeared that the creatures had attacked the camp and scattered the travelers’ belongings, but did not seem interested in taking anything. We followed the travelers’ trail to the clearing where they were attacked. There was no sign of Arad’s friends. It appeared that the creatures had carried them off. Thor has recently become able to transform into a bird at will – to his great joy – and he took the form of an eagle to scout the area. When he returned he told us he had found a kind of treehouse inhabited by at least one harpy. We decided to approach the treehouse and attempt to find out if the harpies were holding Arad’s companions. The tree turned out to be quite tall and it was difficult to determine how we could reach the treehouse. Much to my disgust it was decided to summon Pheretima and ask her to fly us all up to the structure. She of course did not want to cooperate, but was finally persuaded. When we entered the structure we found no immediate sign of Arad’s friends, nor of the harpies. Then two of the creatures appeared and attacked us. As we were fighting them more harpies swarmed outside the structure and began singing their song. I am sad to say that I succumbed to its mesmerizing effect and found myself trying to get outside. Several of the others were also so affected, leaving only Erasyne able to control herself. I don’t recall much of what happened then, as I was too preoccupied with attempting to get outside. Fortunately when I was faced with the long drop from the trapdoor exit I came to my senses – but I can't say the same for poor Illtud, who fell through the trapdoor!! I will write more later.
