Manfred will play a quick song on his flute to give Bardic Inspiration to Survivor in case something unpleasant happens and then will draw his crossbow and keep his head on a swivel as the group moves forward.
With Survivor and Ashtear leading the way you all make your way into Black stick swamp. Thankfully with the two of them at the helm, you make good time and avoid any unfortunate encounters with any of the carnivorous plants here.
At the front the two of follow the inconspicuous trail, before picking up another, less hidden one that crosses with it. Up to you which one to follow. The less hidden one skirts around the outer edge of the forest while the other moves further in.
Further back, upon completing your tune, Manfred, you hear a faint whisper coming from just off your left shoulder, as if someone were standing there, but you fail to see anyone there. Though faint it almost sounded like the quiet voice had said "Over here"
Hearing the faint whisper, Manfred turns abruptly, but seeing nothing, he will mutter softly to the others. "There is definitely something here. I can't tell if its some kind of fey just messing us about or a baddie playing with us but watch yourselves."
Albanus will go to where Manfred is and investigate the tree and surrounding area with the invisibility item (the one we got a while ago from the inn's shed) and see if there is anything around.

You take out the circular disk and put your eye up to the small hole in the center. Looking about, hidden behind a tree juat behind Manfred is a small pixie female. Just floating behind her is another, a male, both looking very inquisitively towards all of you. They seem most interested in Manfred though, constantly peeking out to spy on him for a moment before retreatijg to the safety of the tree once again.
I relay this information to Manfred. Before doing so, Albanus will introduce herself and ask ‘if they would like to talk to the greatest bard this side of Riverton?’
Manfred sighs in mock-irritation. "It really is a massive burden being me, you know?"
He will pull out his flute and look to the others. "I trust you all have no objections if I perform something for our little friends? They may be able to help us in some way."
If the others agree, Manfred will play a merry song with the flute to try and draw out the pixies a bit more.

Performance: 17
After a few minutes of some of the best musical notes you can put together, you conclude your piece and here a faint bit of applause of said tree. Appearing from behind it are the two figures Albanus had described before.
The girl pixie, looking the older of the two though it is difficult to tell given how fey age, approachs you first. That was very lovely! You quite talented traveler. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Princess East Sunjewel of Black stick Forest, and that over there is Basil Treepond, my companion. May I ask what brings you all here?
Ashtear shrugs, "Just not about me." and settles in to watch, but keeping an eye on the areas around instead of the little friends or the performance.
12 perception
Looking around, you dont really see anything of interest, just more swamp like terrain. You do notice theres alot more spiders around than perhaps may be the normal amount, but that could more than likely just be a feature of the swamp, youre not sure.

Dainwill move over to join survivor. He will have his familiar circle overhead, keeping an eye out. Perception for tressym: 23 (can detect invisible beings within 30 feet of him...)
Survivor will stand off to the side, watching the surroundings as his allies talk to them.
Perception: 9
While the others are conversing you take a minute to scan the area, just making sure nothing might be taking advantage of your companions pause, but you cant really see anything of interest.
Dainwill move over to join survivor. He will have his familiar circle overhead, keeping an eye out. Perception for tressym: 10 (can detect invisible beings within 30 feet of him...)
As you send your familiar up and around for a birds eye point of view, you see much of what you had seen earlier, mostly just vegetation and water.
Manfred bows deeply before the pixie and says, as modestly as he is able "Ah, excellent! I could tell by your fine vestments that you were obviously of some import. It was my pleasure to perform my little songs for you and your companion, your Highness. My fellows and I are adventurers of some humble renown and we are searching for a band of Amazons that were said to have been based near to here. I do not suppose you have some intelligence you can share of their movements or current location? I myself am not native to these parts and have found the humidity somewhat...trying."
The Pixie flutters in the air, stopping just in front of Manfred, and looks slightly embarressed by the bow. That isn't neccessary good sir, but the gesture is greatly appreciated. And Amazons, I have not heard them be called such, but we have many unwelcome visitors in the wood lately. I must admit it was why we were spying on you. I had hopes that you might help us be rid of these trespassers. They are dangerous, and are poisoning the wood with their presence.
She takes a moment to try and wave over the other Pixie, but he appears to be quite content half hidden in the canopy of the tree. I can help you with the ones you seek, if you would be rid of the trespassers, we would gladly assist anyway that we can!

Albanus peers to where Manfred is talking and asks, “Princess, Master Treepond; might we speak with you in a more visual format?” Albanus goes on, “We see the desecration of your environment and it saddens us. They have also been terrorizing others. What can you tell us of their capabilities? Their location?” Persuasion: 21

Upon hearing the stiff and troubles, and seeing that her cohorts have the conversation well in hand. Ashtear wants to renew her examination of the "poisoning of the woods" to see if she can gather a better idea of how it was caused and if it can be cured or safeguarded against-for the plants and possibly us
(I'm just gong with another Alch roll out of habit/specialty. But if you prefer a different tool or skill check let me know)
2 +4 from Armour of Tools. +3 profiency. And then + 4 for INT OR +2 for Dex. Or +2 for Wis, Whichever you want. 7 add +5 if Survival roll, or +4 for Nature. This is to give herself context on the natural state of the forest

WIth a bit of a sigh, "Ah. I should've switched over to the latnern... That would be useful for all these hiding things."
Survivor will shrug, ”Lets keep following this same path, see if it gets us anywhere, I don’t think it’d be a good idea to wander off just now.”
Albanus will go to where Manfred is and investigate the tree and surrounding area with the invisibility item (the one we got a while ago from the inn's shed) and see if there is anything around.
