"I'm sending Henry with you." Quentin informs him as he informs Mindartis, "You won't be able to go forward or back with using a branch of something to pull or push yourself. I control how high you get up though and as long as you're within range I can talk to you through your mind. You should be perfectly safe. So let's go." With that he uses Levitate to start sending M up through the trees.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Rollin', rollin', rollin'...keep them dicies rollin'...while Mindartis floatin', rawhide....

Mindartis bounces nervously from limb to limb as he floats upward, not paying much attention to his surroundings...and the local sprites take some time to notice him...
Just as the levitation spell is about to run out, an invisible sprite pops into visibility right before Mindartis's nose. He looks extremely amused, and you can hear other sprites snickering nearby.
"Nuts are out of season," the sprite says. "And yet, here you are..."

Nice one DM, why this wasn't in my repertoire already cannot be explained. Hidey hidey ho!

As Mindartis floats around trying to decide what he wants to ask the sprites, the meager ten minutes of time on Quentin's Levitate spell runs out. Mindartis begins to fall, and the safety vest explodes in a cloud of colorful feathers, blasting the Eladrin away from any dangerous branches he might hit on the way down...and from the Liftworks platform. Mindartis begins a long, slow, spiraling, feather-like descent to the ground below.
(By the way, Quentin: Familiars are fey, celestials or fiends, your choice...which is Henry?)

Closing his eyes, Mindartis pictures himself on the branch closest to him that can hold hos wieght. Opening them again, he sees himself on the branch and smiles. "Well then," he says. "What do you know about someone calling themself the Candyman?"
More sprites appear, and the one who spoke first says, "We have heard the pixies whispering the name. They say the Candyman offers you sweets and takes you away, and claim that there is one who saw it happen. In my opinion, it's merely tale born of a combination of their fear about the disappearances and their lack of any sweets to keep them sugared up. The pixies have become quite addicted to sweet things. Not that we don't also miss our sweet things, but pixies are a bit...silly."

"Well, he's very much real. And he's kidnapping children," Mindartis says. "We indend to find him before he kidnaps anyone else. Have you heard of anything strange occuring in the night? People walking around, strange occurrences?"
"We don't pay that much attention to the groundlings," says the sprite. "A few of our own have not returned from visits to the market below in recent days, though.
He hesitates for a while, as if thinking it over. "If you like, my friends and I can find you this pixie who started the Candyman rumor. I believe her name is Berrybreeze, and she's probably over in Maple. The sap isn't running any more, but I heard the pixies made a terrible nuisance of themselves during the tapping, and there will be hardly any syrup this year, on top of everything else.

"You should probably return to the Liftworks platform," the sprite says. "It will take a little while, and you do not look comfortable in that branch...and you no longer have a vest to catch you."
He and his friends fly off in a buzz of dragonfly wings.

Mindartis struggles a bit on the way down, skidding the last few yards, but makes it safely back to the Liftworks.
After a while, the sprites bring a nervous-looking pixie with blue butterfly wings to you.
"Oh, but I'm not allowed to be at the Liftworks," she points out, clearly eager to flit away.
"It will be all right," says the sprite. "JUST. THIS. ONCE. Now, these people want to know about the Candyman, Berrybreeze."
Berrybreeze sinks down to rest on the platform, looking ready to cry. "I wish I had never told anyone about the Candyman. Some of my friends went looking for him, and they never came back, never came back. Don't you go, too. I don't believe the things he said, and the sugar isn't worth it."

"Whoa whoa whoa, watch it with the magic," Mindartis says, grabbing onto the tree.
