As Iolinder begins to cross another gust cuts across the bridge and he loses his footing. When he tries to get back up he slips further and hangs precariously from a rope. With Morrics help he is able to regain his footing and carefully crosses the bridge. the large armor wearing Morric carefully crosses last, mindful of his weight, he spreads it evenly as he crosses. Lev has no trouble crossing, being quite agile. (Found: One already dead large bird dear Peryton, now a second one dead on the other side, strange wand, elvish symbol, wrapped scroll, dull collar on kobold, dead bodies in nest, one body is elf with a symbol on clothing, fresh bodies are kobolds, one wears a collar like Lira's, hearts have been eaten out, Lev is acting strangely, dwarvish armorer symbol on bridge.)
Vydar looks at Lev with a shocked expression when the other elf states that these creatures were once elves. How does he know that? Gods that’s sickening.
He blinks at the wand that grew from the gem Lira found. “I can take a look at that once we are across this bridge.” He says bluntly.
Trying not to think too hard about what Lev said, he focuses on getting across the bridge.
(I had Vydar already across the bridge, ran across as he was being attacked), takes the interesting wand. As he touches it, the gem changes colors again, from a clear color to dark red hue. Seems to be a wand having to do with nature, Vydar thinks. The gem seems to change color based on the holder of the wand.
Once on the other side when everyone has a minute to catch their breath Zarbyn asks Lev, "What do you mean they were elves? Those... strange flying... creatures..."
Zarbyn runs his hand through his hair and tries to fathom the implications of what Lev just said.
"How is that possible?"

"Run thy sword across my chains, Silver Lady, that I may join your dance.”
Morric will wonder aloud if former elves turned into birds taste like Elvish chicken…he isnt really sure how magic works. “Are they still elves inside that bird body? Or are they all bird?” he asks nobody in particular. Some weird stuff going on up here.
not too much weird happened in the dwarven mines, just different rocks worth different monies.
Amdaeng was lost in thought, " Were they all elves? None of them kobolds? Maybe they just eat the hearts? Well at least one got away to learn a lesson about attacking armed people."
" Everyone ok to move on?", she patted Ning and whispered words of encouragement to the little bear.
"It shows a cliff face a few hundred feet along the canyon. I wonder what the Coven was looking for here...and what it has to do with Darkwood elves." She looks to Lev sadly, still trying to wrap her head around his revelation. "Could those elves have been...transformed to act as guardians of something? What kind of magic could even do that?"

"I... don't know," is the only answer Lev can manage at the moment. He puts a hand to his head, still covered in blood, and mutters, "Maybe I am just going crazy."
He eyes the wand that Lira and Vidar had inspected... perhaps it had something to do with that thing?
Iolinder also examines the wand. When he touches the wand, the crystal stone changes color again, turning a silver color.
"Look at this wood and the vines surrounding it. I believe it could be a wand used by druids. The eagle and the stag are both animals of the mountains and forests. You say this was found on the elf skeleton? I wonder if they were a druid."
Those of elvish decent and those who have spent a great deal of time with elves as a child have heard childhood stories of creatures that would hunt elves in the night. Old tales designed to keep kids out of trouble. One story recalled that the creature would catch misbehaving elvish children and eat their hearts.
"Maybe we should follow the map now that we have it? Maps usually lead to important places or things."
Zarbyn feels bad that elves died in such a way, having their hearts eaten... even a little sympathy for the kobolds. It is a horrible thought to contemplate.
He will summon Twiggy back from her pocket dimension and send her 90 feet ahead while invisible to scout the direction shown on the map.

Looking closer at the creature, it resembles an eagle, with a stags head. They are the size of a large sheep. One adult was a male, one a female. The one found by Amdaeng has recent char marks from magic fire bolts and arrow wounds. The eyes are not bird like, nor stag.
Twiggy heads 90 feet in the maps direction. There is a trail of stone and dirt, somewhat covered by snow fall but tracks seem not too old. (anyone need a rest or healing?)
"The creatures are part eagle, part stag...The wand has an eagle and stag on it too," Lira shakes her head, finding this all too strange, "I think a short rest would be good to clear our heads before we move on."

Amdaeng is confused by Levs statement but doesn't say anything and assists the others over to her side.
Lira nods and proceeds cautiously with the others.

(Lira mentioned, fresh bodies of kobolds, no hearts, one elf skeleton in the nest with a symbol. )
Lira decides to open the scroll she found on one of the kobolds and see if it can offer an insight.
