(Just wait for the wizard then, it is just a matter of timing, so not sure why difficulty is being placed on the identification, when it was not there before, but no problem.)
Raven would pack all of the stuff she found into her pack and take her watch. Passive perception is 20.
(Hmmm, yep, did not remember that we had identified an item without magic earlier, before Quentin had the pearl. I'm just declaring as a DM that the new difficulty roll is because Noobfina, the goddess of beginner's luck and low-level characters, is no longer watching over you. :D )
"Smell halfling, bear, elves, bad mushrooms," the hyenas insist. Del remembers that there are druids in the next chamber...you might have noticed a halfling among them.
The night is quiet for many hours. On watch, you detect nothing but the Restorers chanting, the freed captives snoring, and occasional bats flittering through the cave.
You are able to get in a full night's sleep. (Go up a level!)
In the morning, the crowd of sprites, pixies and gnome children wake up. They are disoriented, frightened, hungry, thirsty and uncertain, but the one thing they all agree on is that they want to get the heck out of here.

"Let's get you all out of here then," Mindartis says, "and hope nobody decided to steal our horses in the night," he adds under his breath, not happy about where they left them.
Del wakes up with new powers, the culmination of feelings of intercession he'd been experiencing the past few days. He hands out rations and water to the crowd and tries to sort out where they are supposed to go - any from the missing posters from Free City? any from that sprite village the Prince was supposed to visit? most from Yonpinagel I suppose.
We know they can make it through the tunnels, but any smalls in rough shape can ride in the tapestry. Del keeps control of Laugh Track and Bongo (the hyenas) until we can get to a slaughterhouse or butcher shop
Del asks M & R What do you suppose - leave or take the eyeball jar?

Good idea we will see if the restorers have any insight, otherwise Del is inclined to leave it unless otherwise convinced, and make our way back to town (the west passage, the one we came down originally should be slightly closer to where we left the horses I think)

You approach one of the druids who is not on chanting duty. She looks horrified when you show her the eyeball. Her advice is to destroy it. "I don't know exactly how it works, but I have a feeling that if you take it with you, whoever created it will always know where you are."

Elwin stretched for a bit, trying to keep his muscles from cramping. He was NOT enjoying cleaning the horse stables. Still, he was able to focus on other things as he did--such as the fact that he'd finally been able to "click" with magic spells. He smiled, proud that he was now able to cast a few solely on his own, without requiring his patron's power.
However, he furrowed his brow a bit as he resumed cleaning the muck out of a stall. He wasn't able to use his normal focus to cast the spells... it was one of the first things he tried when he had a minute alone. He'd need to seek out a few spell components. "Might as well just get an entire component pouch," he murmured to himself before catching Oroman's eye. The horse seemed to be looking at him askance. "Yes, I talk to myself on occasion, it's not a crime or anything!" The blue roan whinnied and, apparently satisfied with the retort, turned its attention elsewhere.
Elwin wondered what his companions were up to, and how well they'd fared last night. He found himself eager to talk with them once he was released for breakfast.
Destruction is fine Del assents I don't imagine it is going to like being destroyed, and it may take some special action. Probably whatever's at the other end will know about it, but it has already seen us. Probably.Shall we move it to someplace more stable, in case it ((never mind I guess M carried it to a show a druid, so that wasn't a trigger)) M can go first, since he's eager, but Del is ready to join in, from a distance, with hi new Sacred Flame

Mindartis grins and sets the jar down on the ground. Taking the sledgehammer from his bag, he lifts it up over his head and brings it swinging down on the jar.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Mindartis easily smashes the glass jar, sending shards and evil-smelling liquid splattering everywhere. The eye bounced away like a giant, land-bound leggless pollywog, then spins to glare at you. There is a clap of thunder, and a blast of force radiates out from the eye!
Mindartis (and Raven?) are hit with a wave of thunder for 16 damage. Make a Con save DC16 to take half damage, if you fail, you are knocked prone.

Between Del's spell attack and Raven's precise blade, the eye is soon a gory little splatter of chopped flesh and goo.
Del feels a nudge from behind. One of the hyenas whispers, "Hey boss...can we eat that?"
From asking around earlier, Del has learned that the pixies and sprites are from various communities in Kalaine, the wilderness, and yes, that sprite village in Lomalos. The gnome children are street urchins from Yonpinagel, most of whom don't really have a home to go back to.
The druids heal your wounds and thank you again for your services to the Great Pixie Tree before you set off. You travel through the tunnels, back toward Yonpinagel. The small fey and gnomes travel with you, all grateful and excited to have their freedom back, and making plans for the future. Once you reach the surface, the fey thank you again before flying away in every direction. The gnome children hover around, with nowhere particular to go. You find your horses being tended by a gnome, who smiles at your approach. "Hoy, there! I can tell 'at you is the adventurers what left these horses here. Your friends Sir Elwin and Lord Quentin paid my sister Jelli to keep 'em well looked after. I'm Skizzix Mungo Fiskins, and if you're lookin' for a useful sort to look after your beasts, I have experience as a groom and trainer for all manner of animals. I brung my references from Moxie's Livery Stable, where I was used to work till they closed up. Luckily for you, I am presently available to take on new employment at your pleasure." He hopefully holds out some papers toward you.
Elwin gets the stable spotless, in spite of several horses seeming to time their body functions to coincide with fouling stables he has just cleaned. Sir Rokkeek claps him on the back and tells him to get some breakfast and some rest.
As Quentin prepares to go down for breakfast after a leisurely night's rest, he notices one of the hall's messengers holding a letter and tapping at Raven's door.

"Go for it." Raven agrees, hoping she gets a chance to help destroy it, but figuring the others will manage it before she gets her turn.
