Author: Aslewaen Date: Sun Dec 5 10:17:31 2010 Subject Trapped up a tree I should have realised earlier why it was so quiet in the forest that morning but Quiloth had stressed the importance of the herbs she needed to treat the wounds of the humans we had found in the village bordering on our forest. Others in the community ridiculed her for wanting to save the lives of mere humans and yet she stressed that it was our place as followers of Quenesti Pah to heal all not only the High Elves of the forest. As luck would have it I was high up in a tree scraping mould off the bark when the silence of the forest was broken but the guttural growls and grunts of a marauder hunting party down below. Reaching into my pouch of belongings I hurriedly grabbed the twisted stick that I had been promised was a wand of obfuscation and while trying not to think about the long fall down to the ground or one of those brutes down below seeing me up in the tree, i completed the incantation that would allow me to remain hidden while the moved past below me. I had to stop myself from vomiting in disgust as the stench of rotting flesh wafted up from the forest floor as they moved past and I made the mistake of looking down at the assortment of goblins, hobgoblins and ogres all with trophies from their last skirmish. The one ogre had a thigh bone, with flesh and sinews still hanging from it as a club. He was using to prod and poke three miserable looking human men leading 6 donkeys carrying large sacks filled with mangled farming implements. It was a long 10 minutes I sat up that tree praying that none of them would catch a smell of me as they moved off down wind but once I was sure they were gone I slid down the tree extra fast and ran back to the village with all the speed I could muster. Out of breath and with the shock of their disregard for the dead still clouding my mind I babble incoherently to the guard trying to explain to him what I had seen. At first they thought I was mad but when Ilshan an experienced hunter and his young apprentice returned from scouting the area I had been in the guard was doubled and word spread quickly through our tree top village of the marauders who where nearby.
