ah yes on my way, nice to meet you kronic not many speak sylvan it is good to meet some who do
gremble relays callehi's warning in common.
she says to be careful of the crystals if you touch them they could explode
Edrin is still stealthily tagging along behind. He knows he was probably spotted when he lobbed the bombs, but until he's sure that these people don't have an ulterior motive, best to keep hidden.
He does make sure to avoid the crystals, though.
Shamus stops and sniffs the air as Edrin moves closer. he looks back down the tunnel and growls quietly.
He smells something, come on out whoever or what ever you are!
Fuar continues along he can understand most of what is spoken in common having picked it up during his time among humans but it is still far from enough to be considered fluent.
the warning of the crystals is understood. he also avoid getting close unsure how they react to cold.
Following Callehi and the group, Stella keeps her eyes on the crystals. curious about their nature and aware of the danger they pose to her after hearing the translated warning from Gremble. As the gnome suddenly stopped and called someone out, she turned her attention to the direction with a thoughtful look on her face. "Could it be..."
Muttering cursewords under his breath, Edrin comes into view.
Picking a language he hopes their hosts don't speak, he grumps at Gremble:
Switching to common, he continues: "It's good to see yall survived." He does a mid-air bow to Callehi, and adds "Greetings, I'm Edrin. Thank you for rescuing us."

As you walk through the tunnel, you notice that it is almost symmetrical, and it looks like it was done by magic. As you come to the end of the tunnel, you come out in a small village. Right away you notice that the buildings are symmetrical. You also notice that each house is identical. An elf walks up to the wolf and whispers in it's ear. The wolf looks back at you then replies back to the elf.
The elf nods his head and walks away.
The wolf starts walking down a stone path.
The wolf leads to a small gate about three feet high. Behind the gate is a small clearing surrounded by trees.. There are many flowers and fruits on the ground. At the back of the clearing, there is a well made of stone. The well has no top and also is symmetrical.
The wolf leaps over the gate and bounds over to the well. The wolf then jumps into the well. About a minute later the wolf comes back out of the well.

With a sudden splash of water, a winged figure soars out of the well and lands beside the wolf. It's an Aasimar with feathery white wings. She has the look of innocence, but at the same time has the look of grief on her face. She looks young and seems to be the leader of the village
I believe that you wished to speak to me Callehi.
As they emerge into the village, he looks around and adds:
He bows respectfully, but otherwise remains quiet in the presence of Ceraile, waiting for someone with a more glib tongue to speak up.
Listening on to the small exchange between Ceraile and Callehi, Stella then speaks out on behalf of her group, explaining how she and the others ended up at their current location. She also voices her concern over the prisoners they had been transporting along the way, as it is likely that the ones that might have survived the crash are now on the run.
Derroth keeps to the back of the group as they go through the tunnel and makes small acknowlagements to statements made in sylvan and common. He keeps an eye out for threats. perception check
He pokes his head out, off to the far right of the group, through the fence, looks like he is snickering and panting.

This isn't good, I've recently been told that there will be an assassination happening two days from now. Judging from the crimes these people have committed, I have no doubt that they will find a way to get themselves involved in this.
She sees Kronic and sighs.
The fox seems to speak in a strange language, though if you don't know the language you can tell that he is having a good time and laughing.
Fuar seems a bit lost.
not sure what half the people are saying and what he does understand makes little sense he starts to wander the community seeing what sort of folk reside here.
He tries to be courtious and avoids trouble as best he can.
Seeing that no one else is stepping up (even in the Sylvan side conversation), Edrin addresses Ceraile's revelation: "How is an assassination known about in advance? Wouldn't that just cause the target to not be there for their scheduled assassination? Because I certainly wouldn't."
In common: "Yes, but what if the target is a powerful defender that if he or she is not there many shall die?"
Fuar was already at a loss, and wandered off to explore the community on his own.
things are going on either in a lnguage he does not understand or about events or situations he has no clue about. all he knows is he crashed and was brought here with little or no understanding as to who these people are or why they brought us here.
If we know about the assassin, why not just set up a trap?

I have a clue about who the assassin might be, but I have no idea where she might be hiding. We suspect they are hiding not to far from where your criminals landed. I've received an anonymous letter telling me this, and a this must be taken seriously. For I think that assassination will be targeted at me...
Listening on to the conversation, the paladin crossed her arms as she heard what Ceraile knew about the assassination, giving her own response in a solemn tone. "If that is the case, then we should take extra measures to keeping you safe. For all we know about what else has been said, the assassin could have deliberately given false information about the scheduled assassination and planned it for today instead. Either way, giving us a chance to stay alert seems unusually careless for a hired killer, so there may be more to this than meets the eye."
Edrin nods to what Stella says, although his devious mind takes it even a step further. "Or, that may be just what the assassin wants us to think. It might actually take place after the appointed time, because by then we'll have been watching for several days, and be getting careless or fatigued because nothing has happened, and the target date has passed without incident, which would lead us to question the source of the rumors or again, relax our guard."
He goes on: "It may even be a warning that's weeks early, with the intent of causing us to think that our protection has thwarted the assassin, when in reality, we're spending all our time and energy on this while he goes after another, less protected target, long after we've stopped being paranoid about it."
The tiny man draws a breath to continue expounding on the possibilities, but then shuts his mouth and says no more.

Thanks for your concern, I'm going to bed now. Callehi, show the women where they can spend the night...KRONIC!
She yells this, and he is nowhere to be seen. Then Kronic pokes his head out from behind a house plant, snickering and panting as he walks over to Ceraile.
Can you show the men where they can sleep? Also, Callehi, can you come back here after you are done? I want to speak to you.
Furar lets Pogot wander a bit but he does not stray to far in this unfamiliar terrain.
They both soon find a well for water. Fuar looks to Pogot drink?
He draws some water from the well and both enjoy a cool drink.
The goings on of the others seems lost for the time being.
Fuar reaches down and scoops up Pogot onto his lap. Speak they do, like ...frinds? Fuar struggles with the correct words in common.
"Yes, yes, it shall be done. Come along boys I have a treat for you all!" Cronik wags his tail, no wait tails, he has two tails?
Cronik walks a ways to the West with a most of the males in your group following then he notices the blue one is missing. He disappears.
Next to Fuar, Cronik appears Linguistics Check to speak in your language... 'You come and sleep, is that right?'
Gremble will follow Kronic, lounging on Shamus's back as he walks.
"Yes, yes, it shall be done. Come along boys I have a treat for you all!" Cronik wags his tail, no wait tails, he has two tails?

Fuar looks to the fox. Pogot starts to sniff the fellow fox. the air misting from the cold thier bodies radiate.
yes. sleep and eat. meat need Fuar is speaking a broken common having no formal education in the common tongue but he has picked up quite a bit since he found himself here.

Callehi shows the women(woman) a building that is taller than the houses surrounding it. Across from it, Kronic is showing the men to their rooms in a building identical to the one Callehi is going in.
This is a very nice inn, you will be treated well here. I hope you have a good night's rest.
Callehi walks out of the inn and sees Kronic walking out of the other inn.
Kronic! You want to sleep at my place tonight?
I am pretty sure with a 32 and the amount of languages that Cronik has, that he speaks broken, if not fluent, but still in your language. "Come along we go to good place, a place that has a cold area for you."
Later once the boys are settled, Cronik is stepping out of the inn. "Yes!" He quickly runs over to her and nuzzles her leg like a cat would, following her back to her place.
Edrin follows along behind the others towards the males' inn. "Well, we certainly picked a good place to crash," he can be heard to say.
The inn is of merchant quality all around. Good beds, baths can be drawn, or there is a hot spring in the basement. Next to the kitchen there is a large room that is some frozen meat in it, but mostly just ice that has been growing from the cold which Cronik shows Faur. There are four staff on hand, they accept tips kindly, though think of yourself as guests and use the inn as you would your own home. Cronik makes sure that each person has basic accommodations before leaving.
Gremble moves freely around the inn trying to get acquainted with his team. He asks about who people are what they do etc.
Fuar spends quite a bit of time in this cold room along with Pogot. rejuvenating from the days events.
trying to practice his common We need learn why to be here Pogot. Many talk strange noise. Perhaps in morning learn new
he smiles at Pogot who just stretches and yawns then rolls on his back next to Fuar soaking in the cold.
Fuar laughs and rubs Pogot's belly Yes cold nice, this room
Stella decides to simply head to her room and ponder what she and the others had found out about the assassination plot.
Edrin had a good point, but being too lax now would also be a great risk. Deciding not to stress it any further, she decides to lie down on a bed for now.
