"Camping out here is fine with me." raven says with a shrug. She would find her squire and settle down for a rest, but take a round of helping with watches as well.
Elwin got filled in on what all had happened from the others.
He was tempted to try to find a way back into the library with Del, but he instead just said, "Well, if we're going to settle down for the night, I'll take a watch as well."
He smiled. "This was a fun battle, but hopefully we can get back on track in the morning. Although, it probably makes sense to be on the alert for our elf assassin tonight."
((Del and Quentin are in the tree - Del went to check on Z in the middle of the ceremony, he did tell everyone where he was going. The school wizards came, and Z shut the door when some of them got nosy. Q set them to work, then came in once he saw the ceremony was working, and shut the door behind him))

The night passes quietly. The sun rises over the forest, lighting the clearing and the camp. Bleary-eyed, hung-over soldiers and knights squint in the sunlight as they pack up their gear, and those who didn't overindulge sing loudly to annoy them. Before dawn the guards took down several deer, which are roasting over a fire for breakfast. Horses graze on yesterday's battlefield, Laughtrack watching them hungrily, and birds sing as if nothing happened here yesterday. Soft green light filters down through the leaves and bird-holes into the tree, illuminating Zanderfell's room, where he is still quietly sleeping, wild forest cats stretched out alongside him and over his feet. Somehow, the light penetrates the entire tree. Birds curiously perch on Quentin and Del, fluttering hastily away when they move.

Del wakes up and fixes his hair, then thinks about what he learned yesterday Ziia, fair one, you know Zanderfell from way back - can you open the passage?
If she can, Del will exit and look for the others, and let them in to talk and freshen up.
If not, he will head upstairs and look for Q, neatening if he come across anything that needs it. If he gets all the way up to the bedroom without finding Q he'll knock discretely

Zia responds, "We only have to ask Rambleoake. He's an old friend." She speaks to the tree and a door opens.

Thank you Ziia, and(using Speak with Plants) thank you Rambleoake - I hope you are feeling better
Del tries to gather the others and bring them in to catch each other up and decide what is next - with a pause to tell Laughtrack to be a good girl (you've had a mountain of carrion, and- smelling the roasting breakfast venison - there will be leftovers soon)
Del suggests gathering inside, and sees if Q is free from his vigil to join in. Hoping we do not have to stick around to care for Zanderfell, maybe we can trust Billy the Druid and/or Frazzah to handle things. If the big Z lets the Themassaile bozos get a brief peek like he said somebody might have to be the adult in the room. But we ought to get going...
The hags might'a been talking smack, as they say, but warned of 'the next half moon' - that cannot be far off. Is Akwot and Red Sails Shipping the best clue we have? Or should we explore through these two hoops we have not tried yet?
other housekeeping - E had a bunch of stuff for Q to Identify, and there was some loot, though I think we gotta cut our allies in on this batch.

Raven would come to the gathering of the group, her squire in tow. She figures the various warriors were able to loot the many enemy bodies for their own loot, so is not overly concerned with cutting them in on whatever the group found, but it wouldn't be something she would fight over either.
"Are we seeking out this maze then, or do we have a different destination in mind?" She asks as the group starts to discuss next steps.
I have no idea how to look for the maze, I think it is something they are building but I am not sure. Sir Elwin read up on the Archwich and the necromancer - no location was mentioned was it Brother? Does the library have anything on the Crystal Maze? Del asks to the air That is why A suggest the Red Sails thread - if they are building it, maybe that is the material supply chain. But I admit my conclusions are 90% kittenpoo.

Quentin comes down and says, “I’m sure the library has something. And Zanderfell has agreed to let the others look through his library a little bit but I imagine he wants me to make sure they don’t take off with anything. He.....well he asked me to inherit it all when he eventually passes in the next couple hundred years.”
The library, surprisingly, has nothing on the Crystal Maze.

"Hey Dell, I did not bring my lute along from home, do you have a spare?" Raven asks during the discussion. If he does not, as is likely, then she would ask the library if it had any actual instruments, or if it just has books. "Feeling a bit nostalgic after singing in the forest yesterday, and wish I had my old lute along..."
What an honor Lord Quentin, and a responsibility too. Is the Venerable Zanderfell reasonably well, considering? I think I am right, he and Rambleoake were the ones to rescue Ziia here - and that was longer ago than I can imagine - four to eight thousand years? more? - and he was powerful then. So Eldest, perhaps, is a reasonable title. Eff, the Abbey is less than 2 thousand years old. But, that is past and future - for now - well, if the library knows nothing of the maze it is either too new to have lore, or hidden so well the big Z has never learned anything.
answering Raven My old fiddle is in the tapestry storeroom - it is strung and has a strap to play plucked like a lute. Two instruments in one, really, very handy for the performer short on possessions. I'd be honored to pass it on.
