Session 12: Elf Friends? 10/10/2021

General Summary

While the group continues with their journey north, four wood elves approached from the rear and tapped Malcolm on the shoulder. They greet us and inform us they have been watching us, noticing how respectful we have been to the forest. They ask us about our purpose through the woods, why we’re traveling through the forest rather than using the roads.
Max explained that we are journeying north to find clues on how to break curses that have fallen upon the lands. The group greeted the wood elves with varying levels of enthusiasm, Xayah rubbing dirt on their hands and the elves recognizing the greeting.
The Elves are aware of the curse and recommend an audience with their king. The group agrees to meet the rest of the wood elves.
The king tells the group they have begun noticing the curse affecting the surrounding areas, but has not yet affected the forest. They believe they have found a way of detecting the curse. Rin, Malcolm, and Max head to the herbalists to learn more about this process.
During this time, Eshonai and Xayah continue speaking with the king. Eshonai inquired about entrances to the Fey. The king tells them about Evermeet and the nature of fey portals.
Max, Rin and Malcolm learn the process from the herbalist that is sometimes replicable. Ask Epic, Malcolm, Rin or Max for more information regarding this process.
The group camps with the wood elves that night. Rin speaks to Melandrach about her grandfather. Eshonai barters for a bag. Xayah meets every elf in the camp.
While preparing to leave, Melandrach asks the group for a favor. Daggerford has been encroaching on their forest and sometimes this leads to violence. Loggers and poachers come into the woods and the elves deal with it as best they can just shy of unleashing an all out attack. Melandrach asks that we deliver a message to leadership in Daggerford on his behalf and to look out for the Misty Forest's best interest. Max gives advice regarding escalating the conflict and the group agrees to, at the very least, deliver this letter while passing through Daggerford.
The group traveled to Daggerford, to deliver a message from King Melandrach to the Council of Guilds, requesting to cease poaching and logging activities in the Misty Forest. The group was informed by Peren Liadon, the receptionist at the Guild Hall, that giving the letter to him means it would be tossed in with the rest of the mail, so the group held onto it, and that meeting with the Council was impossible as they met in "secret" with poorly protected hidden identities.

We're taught a way to detect the curse from their herbalist.
They escort us out of the forest and we're asked to deliver a message to Daggerford's Council of Guilds regarding the destruction and poaching happening in the Misty Forest. We agree and make our way to Daggerford.
We reach Daggerford and explore the city before entering the Guild Hall. We find difficulties with meeting with the council but we were provided with enough information on how we could directly approach the Council.
