"I know not my elven friend." Says Timbre. "All I can say for certain is that it is a strange creature that has taken the forest as its body through the link created by Anyariel's sword. In my feverish painful dreams, perhaps due to my constant connection to the fire, I think that I may have felt the entity in my dreams. I believe I once he heard it call itself a 'child of Trilla,' and several times I have listened to the word 'trillith' rumbling through the forest like the dreamy whisper of a slumbering giant. Unfortunately I know not what these words and names mean."
 


[sblock="for Kirio"]The schools of religion and the planes give you no knowledge of the words Trilla and Trillith. Your arcane knowledge seems to be a more appropriate school of thought. Though you think it sounds familiar, like something you once read in a book, you can't fully recall any useful information. [/sblock]

After thinking over the words of the dryad, Kirio frowns and looks over to Arnir "I'm afraid I don't remember either of those, but it does ring a bell. Maybe something I read once in a book? Definitely arcane I'd say; you are more skilled than I in this school of thought Arnir, do they mean anything to you?"

"So," says Torrent as she watches Arnir ponder, "what should we do gentlemen? Head back to the village?"

You wave your goodbyes to the poor immolated dryad and hike back through the gorge to the village. The village is much as you left it: singers in the tower and other Seela going about their business.

Both Tiljann and Vuhl witness your return and as you head back into Papuvin's cave for a brief rest, Torrent drops down onto a pallet and asks: "Well, what now? Alric seems to want to draw the blade, and I take it, given that he has now bonded the fate of the first tree to his very soul, Hrimr agrees. I expect we'll receive visits from that idealistic young woman and the morbid Vuhl any time now. So, where does everyone else stand? Personally I want out of here and would prefer if these villagers did not have to die in the process. I say we take a swim and free the beast. If it cannot then persuade the Seela to cease their song and the entity to depart peaceably, then I say we slay it. What say you?"
 

Lars says, "So, how exactly do we get a branch stuck in a stag at the bottom of a lake. Anybody here can breathe water." Lars shudders, "Don't count on me, I can't swim at all. Not many lakes and rivers in Gate Pass, unless you count the sewers."
