The party does not see the Leshay, but some notice a diminutive humanoid figure watching them near to where the Leshay was.The first to act is Gerontius who meanders over to where the Leshay was, exclaiming "I sink I zee a bag, which he may ave dropped. Perhaps there is zomezing of value in iit." Gerontius, however, saw no such bag; it was merely a ruse to keep the little fellow off his guard. As Gerontius approaches near to where the diminutive fellow is he bursts into action and grabs him up faster than the eye can see.The little fellow is obviously quite surprised by the sudden turn of events, perhaps because he was noticed when he is so often overlooked by bigger folk, perhaps because he never saw the hand that grabbed him till he was in its clutches, or perhaps because he knows he is caught. Gerontius looks at the little fellow, who turns out to be a grass faerie, with a smile from ear to ear and with a chortle asks "vhat do ve ave ere?" The little fellow asks Gerontius in Halfling "Hey, put me down. What are you guys doing out here anyway?" Gerontius retorts "I might ask you the same." Inoke is much more blunt about his apprach and says "There was a Leshay here a few moments ago, what do you know about it." The little fey fellow has a palpable bead of sweat on his brow as he replies "The only people who are or were here is us. Why would a Leshay be interested in you anyway? I don't know any Leshay, but if I did and it were me I would not want to anger one, otherwise I would be liable to get hunted." Sybele asks the grass faerie what he knows of the hunt and learns that the hunted must survive a quiver full of arrows, then over the telepathic link she chimes in, 1 down 19 to go. She then tells the faerie she's being hunted for an incident at the Fey Party, the grass faerie replies that that is common knowledge amongst Fey.Gerontius meanwhile gets the impression that the faerie is lying about not knowing the Leshay and accuses the faerie of spying on them. Before the faerie can respond, Gerontius offers him a ticket to view the hunt as it unfolds, to which the Faerie accepts. Gerontius, with a devious smile, says you get a free trip inside Sybele's shirt pocket. The Faerie however does not to want to be that close to the hunt, so Gerontius offers him an alternative "...zat you do not spy on us, nor cauze any more mizchief, well mizchief directed at us anyway." The faerie accepts the alternative, and warns the party that he is not the only Fey assisting the Leshay on the hunt. Sybele then asks to hold the Faerie to which she promptly flicks off the palm of her hand.Next Time: More fey spies!  The Arrows of Law discuss Asmodeus' replacement!  And Chakar begins his search for the Perfect Masters!</blockquote>
