Furiel returns, quiet and deep in thought for a change.

Furiel tries to act quickly, but adjusting his hat delays his entrance.
Furiel rounds up a few of his guard and goes 'house to house' of the more suspicious establishments. Furiel questions them, making as if he knows much more than he does to get those he questions to spill their guts. Each time his story is the same -- "Now is a good time to tell us about the cultists we know about!!"
Furiel gestures and a web engulfs the large threat and the pair of smaller foes.

"I don't know if they respond well to threats." -- Furiel whispers to the others. Furiel steps up and begins to speak to the giants, confident in his new titles and buoyed by the recent festival. "You are in luck. We have negotiated the new Unseely Accords, and giants are now granted favorable judgement under our new banner. We have the combined might of the fey empire, the kingdom of dreams and shadows, and the binding word of the master rune giant binding all of giantkind. Put down the innocents and we can work this out. You do not want to disgrace giantkind and become hunted by all giants."
The words coming from the small gnome with the helmet seem to have an amazing amount of conviction. The gnome confidently strides forward, no weapons in hand, but a ball of fire is passed from hand to hand as he produces flame. "The largest of the flame giants taught me this trick. Do not cross me." The small air elemental shoots up from the ground and makes the gnomes cloak billow in the wind for few seconds as it sharply lifts up and drops down again.
Happy new year all
Furiel begins to bring an air elemental into the world,a small one.
The smashed elemental earth glides to hit.
The newest closes to flank. Furiel produces flaming hands and advances to hurl flame.
Furiel feels that his elemental creatures can rush in. The two elementals move into the structure. Furiel begins to cast to produce a third one.
As Dolgrym makes his preparations, Furiel summons a pair of small earth creatures.
Furiel approaches with a laugh "I am the General of the local forces. But it is good to walk about and get information. And I ride only when I can't fly and am in a hurry."
Furiel awakes the others as he summons eagles to scout.
Furiel nods.
Furiel looks to Jhod, unable to attack the bear.
Furiel speaks. "Hold spirit!!! Why are you here brother bear!!"
Two elementals appear flanking the sleeping bear, popping up from the ground. Furiel's elementals are undeterred by terrain.
Furiel summons a pair of earth elementals to help out.
Furiel begins to summon creatures of earth. "Help with the bear by Stony Friends!!"
Furiel brings his fey apprentice to the gala. "Barndoor, do you have any impressions of this event? How will this play with our new fey friends??"
Furiel nods at the archers. "Peace through vigilance and strength!! Take your marks."
Furiel arranges for a display of the military training the troops have learned. A target shooting contest for bows and crossbows earns a platinum piece for the top shooter. If things came to a defensive war, accuracy with missile weapons may prove useful.
Furiel nods: "All judicial power is granted by the council. So it is no problem to appoint someone to serve its interests. As for trial by combat, with fey and kobolds, races with little physical prowess, it would be highly unfair. Kinsilvi and our black-hearted sorceress can be judged fairly at the festival. Dispensing justice and conferring amnesty should send a good message: crimes are punished, but redemption is possible. Green can have our two evil conspirators face their accusers and judge them both. Hopefully taking advice before doing so."
"Well, we have someone caught in banditry and unrepentant. Shall we make a law against banditry and conclude this matter. Many bandits have been repentant and were spared. As for Kinsilvi, we can just have him face his accusers and discover the facts. Once the facts are established, we should pass judgement. Both prisoners are a danger to any established government, so we should decide quickly. If we want to show our kobold allies they matter, Kinsilvi can be handed over to them if you don't want to make a tough choice." Furiel considers a thought, and gives it voice:
Furiel continues to get the gnomes involved in the magic shop. His fey assistant, he gives a nod to. "You must stay for the Feast. It is part of your new duties."
In many cultures, sitting in dungeons without being charged or tried was common. Not saying it is right by the way.
Furiel decides he will take his new fey charge to talk to the children, hoping to convince them all fey are not bad. He carefully instruct his charge and new roommate on the ordeal the fey have been through, and tells him: "You are our liason. I trust you to put the children at ease and convince them that fey, like humans, come in many flavors." Five days tinkering in his magic shop appeal to the gnome.
Plan looks good.
Furiel nods and helps the kids get washed up for dinner.
Furiel helps get the kids to the castle. Then they can look for the parents and plantman.
We had 18 posts in April.
Furiel pulls his cloak tight and joins the chase to help the children. He soars thirty feet up and 70' to the kids.
Furiel withdraws from the fey around him.
The next web is cast to the south. (between dd ee between 18 and 19).
Furiel looks up and fires a string of webbing that engulfs eleven of the faeries nearby. Web DC 18 Reflex: School conjuration (creation); Level magus 2, sorcerer/wizard 2, witch 2; Elemental School wood 2 CASTING Casting Time 1 standard action
EFFECT Range medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
DESCRIPTION Web creates a many-layered mass of strong, sticky strands. These strands trap those caught in them. The strands are similar to spiderwebs but far larger and tougher. These masses must be anchored to two or more solid and diametrically opposed points or else the web collapses upon itself and disappears. Creatures caught within a web become grappled by the sticky fibers. Attacking a creature in a web doesn't cause you to become grappled. Anyone in the effect's area when the spell is cast must make a Reflex save. If this save succeeds, the creature is inside the web but is otherwise unaffected. If the save fails, the creature gains the grappled condition, but can break free by making a combat maneuver check or Escape Artist check as a standard action against the DC of this spell. The entire area of the web is considered difficult terrain. Anyone moving through the webs must make a combat maneuver check or Escape Artist check as part of their move action, with a DC equal to the spell's DC. Creatures that fail lose their movement and become grappled in the first square of webbing that they enter. If you have at least 5 feet of web between you and an opponent, it provides cover. If you have at least 20 feet of web between you, it provides total cover. The strands of a web spell are flammable. A flaming weapon can slash them away as easily as a hand brushes away cobwebs. Any fire can set the webs alight and burn away one 5-foot square in 1 round. All creatures within flaming webs take 2d4 points of fire damage from the flames. Web can be made permanent with a permanency spell. A permanent web that is damaged (but not destroyed) regrows in 10 minutes.
Furiel motions, and the fiery creature moves behind him. He waits to see what is going on.
Furiel waits to see how things go. He comes up with a plausible way to bring some help. "It seems to respect my friends." Furiel summons, and a small fire elemental appears.
"We can ask our fey expert."
"My new roomie is a former evil fey working for us. He can probably advise us. Let's go back to the castle first."
"I do not like doing handing over someone for a life of torture. Even if it is the easy way out, I say no. Do you think the fight is fair?"
Furiel seems uninterested in the older crone troll. After leaving the other trolls as smoking embers, he releases the fireballs from his hands and looks around. Unsure of the morality of leaving any being to be continually drained while they regenerate, living a life of imprisonment and suffering, Furiel tries to see if there is anything of value around.
Furiel advances, creating an elemental fire to engulf the troll as he fires balls of flame at the troll.
Furiel continues to close and hurl fire.
Furiel steps twenty feet closer, and fires at the troll again, targeting a part away from his friends.
Furiel hurls another flame ball and his minions attack too.
Unentangled, Furiel's dog rips at the fighting troll. He disengages after the magic missiles, Furiel's fire ball, and the burning web give the last troll more than enough to think about. As the dog bite down, he moves 40' to engage the creature fighting Norton and the horse.
As the trolls burn up, Furiel nods his approval. The air elemental circle to get the armored troll from the north (may draw AoO). Closing with five feet the small elemental slams at the armored troll.
Furiel's air elemental changes to a whirlwind and encompasses the least injured troll. Furiel's dog attacks again his foe missing badly.
Then Furiel moves twenty feet towards the conflict (O28) and casts, a series of webs engulfs the trolls, sticking them between the structure to Furiel's left and the opposing trees and structure to the right. The dog and air elemental are encased in the web as well as the two trolls, but Green is just outside the mass of webs.

Thx for posting, missed I was up.
Furiel creates an earth elemental, and it moves next to Norton and his horse. He begins to bring an air elemental into the fray.
