The Hag of Helix

• not interacted with but her abode and general vibe is creepy as hell
• discovered that though she is helpful to the village - there's usually some price

  The Turtles on the Beach

• did we hear right, did they say "Thank You" as they deparated?

The Piskie Faeries Accompanying the Lost Boys

• not much was gleamed from them as they communicate in a series of chimes (perhaps some with skill in music could translate)
• they do pantamime however
• there glow (which can at times be as bright as a candle) seems to indicate their mood - and grants an accompanying power based on that mood

The Lost Boys

• feral and poorly behaved and over dramatic too the extreme (like everything is play acting)
• don't want to leave the island and devoted to Peter Pan as "he is the wisest and smartest" and he chose them because they were rewarded as being "clever"
• hard to tell if any of these kids were from Helix - but one of them does mention he thought one of their comrades mentioned the Oerthian Town
• hate/fearful of  Captain Hook and the pirates - who now seem to have allies amongst the spiders
• let slip that the Harding family (family from the Peter Pan story) outgrew the antics of Peter and the lost boys and left the tribe
• they're not too sure what happened to Wendy or John Harding but does know that Michael Nicholas Darling resides in the mountains where plies his craft as a smith for the good of the islands inhabitants
• note on bullet point above - I mentioned John but got him mixed up with Michael Nicholas
• Willing to see if the Peter Pan will let the PCs come to their tree fort - they suggest that if they go back and find the tunnels under the Pirate Cache, Peter would be more willing to let them to their hideout
