Kestrell reaches out his hand to shake, "One String." And then nods to his bow.  "It's all I need."

"Ah, so we have Miss Phaedra to thank for your watchfullness.  That's good.  What else should we know?"

After 30 minutes or so Selinae entered the Yawning Portal, looking about for her companions.

"Thank you for being so considerate and looking out for our interests Three Strings. It is always good to know that others care for your safety. You are indeed right, we had been looking for Davil, we had hoped for his help but it would seem I will have to look for aid elsewhere."

"It is also good to know that you are hear in case we need help with something. I am also happy for you to call on me if you wish, I imagine you already know I dwell at Trollskull Manor."

Phaedra stands, "I do not wish to be rude but if we can not speak to him, we need to go as we have pressing matters to see to. And no we do not have time to take a quick look..." she adds, her eyes which have now returned to there blue gold-flecked colouring resting on Kestrell.

Kestrell nods.  "Alas!"

Elon makes himself as comfortable as possible in the jail cell awaiting a chance to plead his case. He knows it may not do any good. He is guilty by association. He uses this time to meditate.

"Maybe we should go. Go back to Trollskull Manor. It's the middle of the night and I have only one other person who I think could help Elon but I think they will be more receptive in the morning."

 " Agreed."

"Ahh, a comedian and an archer. Many who are mediocre in their profession tend to have secondary careers in order to survive. I'm glad you found two that suit you."

"Of course, of course. Please stay safe!"

Kestrell chuckles, "Well played, Mr. Strings!" and then follows Phaedra back to the manor.

Once they get to Trollskull Manor, Kestrell asks the group: "Wow, big day today.  Let's get some rest and then figure this out tomorrow."

" I'm sleepy too."

" Anyone want to bunk up?"

The group makes it back to the Manor and crashes for the night

For Elon:

After waiting in his cell for a bit the door opens and the guards push Davil into the cell with him. Before he can say anything Davil winks at him and yells back over his shoulder, "Can't we even get a private cell? Who the hell is this guy? Come on, at least put me with my people." While yelling Davil still walks in and sits down. He and Yagra don't even look at Elon until after the guards are away. Still staring ahead, Davil whispers "I had to bribe the guard to put us in here and they won't leave me long. I've overheard that they're planning to let you go tomorrow. Some others from the group may reach out for help. If you can, hide them please. We can't let our whole faction get locked up while Manshoon is still hidden and trying to take over."

The night passes and it's a new day!

Is anyone doing anything prior to midday?

Selinae will spend the morning assisting Bason with brewing, joined Phaedra at prayer and attempted to get Kestrell to try yoga.

Also she made banana pancakes for everyone.

Kestrell wakes up early and heads to the kitchen to start brewing some coffee.  At the smell of banana pancakes he hops up and down and squeals in delight.

"Those smell delicious!  Load me up!"

After breakfast, Kestrell studiously avoids the topic of yoga and instead runs downstairs and tame Elsa some more, as well as look for baby beholders.

Animal Handling: 10.

Perception for spotting any gazers: 13.

Phaedra will wake early, say prayers, skip breakfast and head off to Ulbrinter Villa.

 "I will do what I can for them but I can't imposs on my friends at Trollskull and I have very little coin, but I will do what I can. Thank you Davil." 

Elon stays in his own corner of the cell and does not attempt anymore interactions with them.

Quote from IAmButADream >>

Phaedra will wake early, say prayers, skip breakfast and head off to Ulbrinter Villa.

Upon arriving at the Villa the same butler with the same droll voice answers the door. Upon seeing you he calmly explains that the Lady of the home is not in right now.

Elon stays in his own corner of the cell and does not attempt anymore interactions with them.

After about half an hour the guards come in and remove Davil leaving Elon alone again. The night passes without any excitement. In the morning Elon is brought a small breakfast and water. About an hour later, Elon is escorted to Barnibus Blastwind and three others who, based on their clothing, appeared to be mages as well. Barnibus explains that they'll be casting a Zone of Truth spell and then asking him questions.

If you wish to resist the spell you'll need to do a DC 20 Charisma Save

OR

You must answer the following questions truthfully:

1. Is the Zhentarim actually split into two factions
2. If so who are the leaders of the two factions
3. Which faction was responsible for what is now being referred to as the "Gralhund Villa Bloodbath"
4. Which faction was responsible for the explosion near your group's manor?
5. It is true a nimblewright is involved?
6. Do you know where the nimblewrite is now?

OOC: I don't expect you to write a novel on this. It's an interrogation, short/brief answers are fine

 " But....I made.....", Selinae sighed.

" Well.....more for us then."

" I hope Elons ok...."

Phaedra screws her nose up in frustration.

"Do you know when she will be back? A lot is happening, especially with the Zhentarim. The city guard have moved on them and... well... someone I know is in danger."

 Elon will fail the save on purpose.

1 They are split into 2

2 Manshoon and Davil

3 Manshoon

4 Manshoon

5 Yes

6 No

Elon continues "look guys, not all Zhents are bad or plotting bad or trying to do bad. That's why we are split. Manshoon wants power and control. Davil and myself are trying to stop it. No one should have that much power....no one" With that, he leans back in his chair and sighs in flustration. Everyone thinks all Zhents are bad just like everyone thinks all Xanithars are creepy thieves. Silver has shown him that associations don't define a man.
