TItans' Folly #1: Hunting in Twilight

General Summary

For the first time in a long while, Luthrin has met with Hope and the Natural Disasters. The two blades seemingly sense each other, and Luthrin and Hope area assailed by their own blades. Hope is dominated by hers, and she begins causing it to act strangely. Kriv and Ariel then work together to rip the blade out of Hope's hand and she asks them to be careful with it from that point on. Nix follows this advice by swinging it wildly with their tendril.
Then, everyone meets each other. Greetings are sweet, except for the learning of Luthrin's murderous past. Then, everyone begins to plan on resting. At this time people speak. Gratorr and Nix speak to each other on their watch. Gratorr's openness, necromantic trust, and concern about the similar nature of Nix's tendril to something he knew about.
Here, a pack of hounds of some kind come to attack the group. Two of the hounds are dissipated, and the giant Gray Render is taken out mostly by a spell. However, before the party can kill the incapacitated render, a humanoid figure appears under where a cat once was.
This figure with a bushy beard seems to control parts of the land and orders Gratorr to drop the spell on Moxy before they destroy everyone for this. They eventually reveal that they are a figure named Arobast, and others seem to believe they are an archfey. They tell the group to get out before dawn before the hunt is back on.
The group is very uncertain about this as the sun has not moved since they were there. Eventually with a strange clock symbol appearing in front of them, they all ran away and did not finish a rest. After a while, they come out from the trees and instead see a large fallen tree and a myriad stumps around it. Additionally, they see multiple standing stones around.
Hope investigates a more well-patterned pile of standing stones, and at first sees a humanoid waving at her. Next, she is miraculously turned into a goat, but as she is, she sees a tiny figure laughing behind one of the stone's while looking at her. Eventually, the group all meet her and Hope is returned to her normal form. 
This figure, who is rather small, maybe just above 3 inches tall, with vibrant bugs running through her hair and wearing a gown of fungus introduces herself as Loralei Mornuathil Puurta Tima. Tima is seemingly on her own, and through her jokes and strange way of speech, the party gain some semblance of bearing in this strange land. Finally, with the assurance that the party will give their time to their goals, Tima offers to guide them to whatever location they have to approach. At first she believes Deeplake might be best for them, but after everyone rests for the night, she finds that the Grove is the best place for them to go.
Thus, the group all pack up and head for the grove after sleeping at the Fallen Tree. On their journey, they find a strange landmark in their path. Growing out of the ground is a silver crystalline shape with purple crystalline growths at the top forming the shape of an axe. Luthrin recognizes this as Grimace's burial place and those who knew this bestial man, pay their respects to him.
