Mykael continues to shift nervously near the tree calling up to Zork, "Yes, come back down Zork; they are harmless pranks for the most part, a nuisance at worst."
Despite everyone's concern, Zork adeptly crawls along the branch to the nest. Peeking inside the nest is a mattress woven from grasses and squirrel lies curled up inside. Around the bed are a collection of blue gems and a few strewn arrows in the process of being made and a quality flute.
"No," The voice continues. "Just leave our things alone. Please go!"
Out of Character: I left a message on Zork's sheet this time. I was asking (Everyone) if they can see it, since Zork has the guardian enabled.
Zork sighs and then says to the voice, "Well you see, I will leave your things alone even though they are in my grasp I will go from this spot. Now, if you have any honor in you then you will leave me alone and by extension leave the rest in this party alone. If not, so help me, I will return and burn this tree and all around it to the ground! Agreed?"
When Zork gets confirmation then he climbs down and tells the others what he saw and said.
"So," The whispering voice takes on a high-tone pitch, "You speak of honour as you're trespassing on our very branch, breaking and entering my house and threatening us? You hold fewer chips than you think.
"I suggest getting down from the tree and leaving a gift in the box as you go."
Zork is not amused by the answer of the voice, in fact it only suggests that he will have a lifetime of misery giving money to something he cannot see. His chaotic nature would have none of it. He at first pretends as though he is going back down by saying, "Yes, you are right" But instead grabs the gems and whatever is of curious value, throws it to the ground while yelling, "Grab those!". Zork makes his way back down the tree using the slipperiness of it to hasten his retreat back to the ground.
Not hearing the voices whispering to Theaton or Zork, Mykael looks on the situation with confusion at first that quickly turns to shock as Zork tosses the jewels and other valuables down from the tree. For a moment he stands dumbfounded, mouth agape "Oh no" He mutters
"Zork don't do that!" He calls up to him cringing again at the actions of his companion "What have these creatures done that has vexed you to the point that you do this? They have done us no harm Zork; silly pranks nothing more than a nuisance!" Mykael takes a couple of steps back, uncertain of what action, if any, he should take.
Archival stands with his mouth agape for a moment before snapping into action. Summoning a small air elemental as Zork is climbing down, Archival has Caelum instruct it to replace all of the stolen belongings back in the nest above. His eyes harden as Zork makes his way down.
Out of Character: Summoning for me is a standard action. Nah, my back is still pretty jacked up. It's been 11 years, I know I should talk to the VA about it, but I can't bring myself to do so when there are guys that need the care way more. I only tend to hurt it every few months. The only thing I see under Game Master Notes on Zork's page is "Bear Guardian Protects: The secrets dispensed by ICon are protected from prying eyes."

Out of Character: Yeah I have a guardian now too so my Dungeon Master notes should be protected too. I just can not respond to the note the same way.
In Character: Theaton steps back away from the stuff that Zork throws down. HE and the wolf head away from the tree telling the spirit that he does not agree with what his companion has done and what can he do to assist them and see peace?
