The compass points towards Elyria, who has the items she recovered from Leilatha. (She is closer than Yoë who has a cloak.)
The three robed figures each have only a silvered dagger on them. Their heavy robes are also equivalent of leather armor. Perhaps of greater interest are the beings themselves. At first glance they appear to be elves. But you notice they have thin sharpened teeth. And their arms and legs are slightly more elongated than normal.
The armored figure appears the same - elf-like with sharp teeth and long limbs. He had a greatsword and plate armor.
None of the armor or weapons appear to be magical.

As Elyria notices the sharp teeth and long limbs of the elf-like creatures she shudders. "What kind of strange beings are those?" She says, looking at Yoë.
Just to make sure Elyria hands the feather to Flynt and steps away so that he can check if it is actually the feather that the compass needle is pointing to.
After they are finished with the bodies Elyria would as a final service command the Air Elemental to collect them and hide them if possible.
(How long would it take us to get to Leilatha's fortress from here? And what time of day is it right now?)
In what is either a bold or a rash move, Aurelius will request to examine the circlet. Removing his helmet, he will place the circlet atop his own head, and see what happens...
Yoë takes a moment to look at the bodies. "I've heard them called Dark Fey. These three accompanying Leilatha is the only ones I've ever seen. They come from some forest far away."
When Aurelius puts on the circlet, he seems to freeze in place a moment.
Aurelius:
Your vision blurs then darkens and you catch glimpses of faces. First an old, wrinkled, and unhappy woman. Then an Eladrin, finely dressed and with a happy smile. And then another Eladrin, and a face you recognize, Lady Sylmare. Lastly, there seems to be another, a beautiful young woman with fine pale skin and long luxurious white hair.
There are murmurings in your head.

More for Aurelius:
You feel a sense of pressure closing in on you but are really able to fend it off with your mind.
You have a sense that these images you see are all permanently connected to this circlet in some way. Each seems vaguely aware of you - as a kind of grating presence. The beautiful woman with white hair is focusing in on you. You get the feeling she can see you.
The circlet is clearly magical and has abilities, but you don't know how to use them. You could try to make something happen, but you have no specific idea how - but could try something. You also believe you could simply remove it to cease whatever is happening.

(in for a penny, in for a pound...)
Aurelius will try to mentally speak to the woman with white hair, or read her thoughts. "Good afternoon, Madame. I am Aurelius Degas, renowned Knight of the Ancient order, Dragonslayer, Trollbane, Nemesis of Nothic and Neogi, Devastator of Oni, and now Hunter of Hags. And who might you be?"
Again, more for Aurlius:
While all the various images are still present in your mind, the white-haired woman becomes much more prominent. "You will regret your actions, you empty collection of titles. You tread where you do not belong. But you wish to know who I am? Then come to me. You shall see who I am in person."
You feel an odd pull from the last words. (This is a charm - your Advantage will overcome the Disadvantage of the nature of this encounter, so it's a straight roll. WIS Save DC 23.)
Everyone else notices Aurelius starting off into space, now for several seconds. He doesn't seem to be in any distress.

Flynt works the feather charm back and forth in an arc in front of the compass. He watches to see if the needle on the compass tracks with the charm. Just as he looks up, prepared to inform the others of the results, he see Aurelius slip into his trance.
"Elyria look at Aurelius! Do we dare touch him?"
**This Space for Rent**
The experiments with the compass and the feather charm seem to be successful. The compass will track that item. At one point you have Yoë move in closer, and the compass seems to track the movements of her cloak. All in all it seems whichever is closest is what the compass follows.

"Dark Fey, a suitable name for those creepy things." Elyria says with another shudder, shaking her head.
She then turns and watches Aurelius seemingly drifting off in thoughts as he puts on the silver circlet. "Better watch him for any adverse effects of that circlet." Elyria answers Flynt, moving closer to Aurelius, ready to snatch back the circlet.
Flynt tests the circles with the compass just to be sure.
**This Space for Rent**
(Assuming Flynt is talking about the circlet that Aurelius has on.)
Repositioning so that both the cloak and feather are far away, the compass does not seem to react to the circlet at all.

Aurelius WIS Save 23
Aurelius responds mentally, but also in an audible whisper, "Come to you... Yes, I will come to you.... where are you?"
"Aurelius? Hello? Who are you talking to? One of those nymphs you always seem to dream about?" Elyria says quite loud, trying to get Aurelius' attention, but quickly realizing this can't be good, then trying to simply push off Lady Leilatha's silver circlet from the half-elf's head.
Quin watches with concern.
**This Space for Rent**
(Heh, I think Flynt is having an identity crisis?)
For Aurelius:
You realize this woman is surely a rival of the Summer Queen herself. A radiant beauty of ice and wisdom. And you know that you can meet her in the fortress you could spy to the north. You need only take yourself there. And you feel you must go there immediately, no matter what else might present itself. To not do so would be folly.
And then very abruptly she is gone. And all the others too, although they had almost already seemed to have vanished while in the presence of this other. You are suddenly back in the canyon where your battle had recently taken place.
Elyria is able to push the circlet off and it falls to the ground. Aurelius seems to see you all again.

"Aurelius, you alright? You seemed a bit lost there for a moment." Elyria says, quickly picking up Lady Leilatha's silver circlet and stowing it away in her backpack, just in case Aurelius has become too attached to it already.
(How long would it take us to get to Leilatha's fortress from here? And what time of day is it right now?)
(Sorry, I think time and location was asked earlier. It is probably just after noon at this point timewise. It would take you roughly 4 hours to get to Leilatha's fortress.)
