"If you choose to stay,"Aurelius continues, "There are a few rules I must inform you of: "First, the rabbit speaks. It would not do to chase her around or anything of the sort, no matter how much you are tempted to do so.
"Second, never compliment Elyria, that's the elf-woman, on her looks. Though comely, she is quite sensitive on the matter.
"Third, I think the orcish woman, Rahkeshi or something like that, has epilepsy and possibly brain damage. Be careful around her, she is somewhat unstable. "Fourth, the gnome is clever, and built that metal ape. Or perhaps it was the ape that built the gnome? I can't quite puzzle it out... "Fifth, the monk and the rabbit keep inquiring about sharing sleeping arrangements with me, but neither is my type, so please don't encourage them. "Sixth, we are currently attempting to protect the town drake, which is something of a celebrity or demigod, from flying pirates, possibly goblins. "Well, I guess that about wraps it up for now. I hope you'll stay, but I wouldn't blame you if you blinked (blunk? blank?) right on back to the Feywild."
Your Blink Dog looks at you inquisitively, turns it’s head, and barks again. (Blink Dogs are Fey, so Speak With Animals doesn’t work on them, unfortunately)
Rahkeshi nods to Elyria, giving her a big smile showing her tusks. She continues in druidic. "I knows we talked about being druids and the Old Faith. Or did we mention that specifically?" She laughs. "I can't seem to recall. But it was wonderful there."
Slowly she starts to look about the rest of the glade and the others there. She thinks they're all still here. Lilianna, Sinver. Bryant. And yes, Aurelius - the source of the strident ballad a moment ago. 'Did he just call me unstable? I'll show HIM unstable!'
Unfazed by the spell's failure and the utter lack of comprehension from the blink dog, Aurelius addresses it once again: "See? I think she's about to have a seizure right now..."
Bryant chuckles as he watches Aurelius talk to the dog and just shakes his head. "Yes let us return to town and see if we can find more stimulating conversation... I could also use a new bow..."He will quickly gather his things and walk with a quickened pace back to town. As they head back he will be very careful to note any changes or oddities as they approach.

"And a fine gift you are Acorn."Elyria answers her Blink dog. She then turns to the others. "These Blink dogs were gifts from the Bright Queen. They understand Sylvan it seems. If you need to convey something to your Blink dog I can be of assistance:"Elyria says in common smiling as the team is brimming with gifts from the woods.
As the others start off towards Drakeriver Elyria reluctantly follows letting Aelric take to the skies again. "Come Acorn, stay close to me." She says to the Blink dog in sylvan. "Are you coming Rahkeshi? Just ignore the half-elf, he is just trying to provoke you, you know that right?" Elyria says to Rahkeshi in druidic before leaving the glen. Aelric perception:10
“I too speak Sylvan if anyone needs assistance.”Lillianna say in Common. She gathers her gear, slipping her dagger from her dagger in one hand, the other resting on the spine of her spell book. Ae she begins to walk away, she turns and says in Sylvan to her Blink Dog she says “Come along Logarithm, let us investigate the site of the Drake”
Logarithm waddles all of three steps before falling on it's face, sneezing the cutest of puppy sneezes, and teleporting directly into Lilliana's arms as a result.
Rahkeshi takes a deep breath and nods to Elyria. "Yes, of course. He's just SO rude." she continues the conversation in Druidic, seeming to calm a little.
She hangs to the back as the group returns toward Drakeriver. Taking a quick glance back to see that Sozi is following, she continues talking with Elyria, now in Common. "It does seem that this is the same night we left doesn't it? Has Aelric seen anything?"
"No, nothing of interest reported from Aelric, but he confirmed that this is indeed the same night that we arrived in Drakeriver. I guess time works differently in the Summer courts." Elyria answers Rahkeshi in common, enjoying the company of the no-nonsense nature loving half-orc.
Looking over at Lilianna as she mentions Sylvan, then watching Logarithm teleport to her, Rahkeshi sighs a little. "Guess I might need to learn Sylavan one of these days. Or at least a word here and there to say to Sozi." She casts a quick glance at her blink dog, lamenting that she can't speak to her like she can most other animals.
She then looks more closely at Elyria. "Why does it feel like we've already had this conversation? Or am I just imagining it." She shrugs. "In any case, if we did, I sure don't think I remember any words!"
"I would be happy to teach you Rahkeshi."Elyria says quickly smiling. "Sylvan isn´t that different from elvish really..." She stops and looks down blushing, realizing Rahkeshi most likely wouldn´t know elvish either. "Anyway, I can teach you some adequate words for communicating with Sozi if you want me to." She continues after a moment of awkward silence.
A slight grin comes to Rahkeshi's face. "Yea, any Elvish words I might have heard you don't want to hear about."
She shakes her head as she steps closer to Elyria. "But I would appreciate it if you would teach me a couple words. Just simple things: 'stay', 'come', 'stop', 'run', 'hide', 'chew up Aurelius' shoes' ..." She laughs. "I'd make it up to you though! Not sure how, but we'll think of something."
Elyria smiles at Rahkeshis joke but tries to make sure Aurelius didn´t hear it as she wouldn´t want more tension in the team now while on this mission. "So where are we going again? It is still in the middle of the same night we came to Drakeriver so unless Aelric had reported on any attacks on the town there would be no point in going there now, right? Should we perhaps go and investigate that lake closer and then go and investigate that raided settlement in the morning?"Elyria asks the other team members as they approach the town and the lake. "I could send down some friends to scout, or grant us all ability to breath under water if you would prefer us all to go down."
"If you choose to stay," Aurelius continues, "There are a few rules I must inform you of:
"First, the rabbit speaks. It would not do to chase her around or anything of the sort, no matter how much you are tempted to do so.
"Second, never compliment Elyria, that's the elf-woman, on her looks. Though comely, she is quite sensitive on the matter.

Farewell.

Rahkeshi nods to Elyria, giving her a big smile showing her tusks. She continues in druidic. "I knows we talked about being druids and the Old Faith. Or did we mention that specifically?" She laughs. "I can't seem to recall. But it was wonderful there."
Slowly she starts to look about the rest of the glade and the others there. She thinks they're all still here. Lilianna, Sinver. Bryant. And yes, Aurelius - the source of the strident ballad a moment ago. 'Did he just call me unstable? I'll show HIM unstable!'
Rahkeshi looks visibly agitated.

She spoke Sylvan - which is a language Fey understand. The spell you used only works on Beasts, which are not the same as Fey.

Ah, yes, right;
"Gift? We were gift from SQUIRREL" It then looks off into the distance at something that very much was not a squirrel "From Bright Queen,"
Farewell.

Lillianna moves ahead, keeping up with Bryant, casting her eyes towards the lake and town once they come into view.
She holds on tight to Logarithm and tries to ignore the blatant office fraternisation that she is overhearing.
