I'm certainly glad to read your suggestions. Thanks!These encounters are scattered over six modules so no, we certainly haven't played through all of it yet. The group role-plays a lot, so we progress at a rather leisurely pace. As is the party has only encountered the pranking grig and  faerie dragon. The grig started with a pyrotechnic smoke cloud which spilled out of their campfire when one PC tried to douse it in the morning. The faerie dragon tried to best his friend by using his open spell-like ability to unbuckle the PCs' horses' saddle belt; causing a few to roll off their mounts' back onto the ground. Unimpressed with these antics, the group correctly guessed that the fair folk were likely responsible and so left them a gift of food before leaving the forest in hopes of appeasing them.The next time the group ran into the pair on their return trip to the forest, the fey used their magic to first make the PC on night watch fall asleep followed by an entanglement spell to cover all of the slumbering PCs with roots, grasses and vines. They had to pull themselves out of the overgrowth upon waking in the morning. Again the PCs left a gift of food behind but are growing resentful of these "good neighbors".As written, the party is meant to appease and finally befriend the fey by offering them significant gifts or by succeeding on a DC 23 diplomacy check. As is, the party would be hard-pressed to succeed on such a check and I suspect they won't be inclined to keep trying if thing persist along these lines. Can you recommend a good way to build upon what's already occurred?I like most of your suggestions a great deal except that, although your proposed scenario for the grig and faerie dragon sounds appropriately fable-like, it would seem rather lethal and malevolent for such lighthearted fey. I imagine the party would interpret it as an attack of sorts and respond in kind.What sort of actions would affect who could see it? Are we talking about virginal female PCs only?BTW, I particularly like your take on the nixie/logger confrontation. I can just imagine the PCs encountering some of the woodsmen's bloody remains in the forest, followed by their coming upon a pair of manic, paranoid, sleep deprived woodsman trying to outmaneuver each other as they endeavor to kill each other. I have to remember to foreshadow this by having the PCs encounter the happy-go-lucky team of loggers before they set out for their fateful encounter. <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /></blockquote>
