The satyrs and wilden drain their horns to a man, and the gizzly old grump catches himself staring and with a grunt resumes his rounds, which during the whole episode had become quite forgotten."Ahh..." muses Robin. "So you say you saw this lady, the hag? Soryth? ANd she took Caerwyn? Your Juliana as you call her ... Well ... if the hag has her, she is in the hidden Palace of Spires, accessible only through a twisted maze that we entered once but can no longer.The hag has used her powers to curse us, which bars us from it."He refills his horn and stares at Sabhyna with a grin. "Our tale was a fail. Ragnar knows the witch Uma caused us to fail at our great task here in this place. We went into battle to silence the hag's foul song and rescue the soul of the Green Lord's daughter, said to sleep here on this isle. But we failed. The hag and the girl were lost to us, and we found ourselves bound here by the the curse  she laid on us. How the witch betrayed Ranar, only Ragnar knows. None of us saw it, but the dryad is subtle where Ragnar would be brave and forthright. Perhaps her magic failed. Her purpose was to rescue the Summer Queen's son, Porpherio, and perhaps she succeeded at our expense. If you ask me, I miss the dryads, aye, gents?" The fey toast and laugh. Robin winks and continues. "I wish your singing and dancing was enough for me to be able to take you to Ragnar. But he will not even listen to my songs. His obsession with Uma ... it knows no bounds. And I am bound by oath never to lie to my lord. Which is why I suggested the mischief with the unicorns. It would be enough to show you were on our side. Now I know you don't want to be choosing sides ... a dilemma indeed. The only one who would know who did it would be us. The witch would never have to know... And the door to Ragnar would open, so to speak. A harmless thing, no harm but to Uma's pride ... and such a dent may bring the witch to bend that rigid back and speak to Ragnar, which might even be a beginning to an end of this feud. But I perhaps suppose to much with so many unknowns, and the lofty barrier of your ideals ... "Robin sips at his horn eyeing you carefully, waiting to see what you might reply.</blockquote>
