Message: <blockquote data-quote="Vigwyn the Unruly" data-source="post: 1842719" data-attributes="member: 20345">Slyfen calmly questions the redcap in Sylvan.The redcap’s mood swings unpredictably back and forth between mournfully cooperative and viciously hateful. He seems to be half mad.However, during the difficult questioning process, Slyfen is able to get a few meaningful answers from the redcap.The redcap gives no real reason for being angry at the party, merely spitting insults and invectives at them. It seems that he hates basically anyone that is not of his own kind.Beyond this, he recounts some of what the party already knows. He tells how in days past the hunters of this area took to cruelly hunting the Timberway lions almost to extinction. As the slaughter grew and grew, strange undead and fey began to show up and take hold.He tells you that his own colony of redcaps, which has been there since before the trouble began, has had trouble with bizarre undead goblins who drink bones the way vampires drink blood. He also reports having seen walking skeletons and living shadows in the forest. He tells you that the social hierarchy of his clan has fallen apart as strange moods have overtaken them.He tells you that there are no other redcaps hiding nearby, to the best of his knowledge. He reports that his clan’s lair is about three miles to the northwest in an abandoned keep and in the surrounding woods. He tells you that about three hundred redcaps live there, and that there is a great redcap wizard there who has control over an owlbear, who they use to guard the keep.He tells you he has never heard of the Blue Rock lodge.Slyfen reports all of this to the rest of the group. He and Hardin have no particular reason to disbelieve the fey creature. However, Belisha and Eolan are highly suspicious, having sensed something in his manner that they distrust.</blockquote>
