Some of the tension leaves the paladin's muscles, though Leo sees some of Corren's reaction, "She is alive, and with that, whatever else she must endure, there is hope."
Addressing the pixie, "I must apologize for what must seem a very stupid question, but I have little knowledge of your kind. Who is Inasyah?"
The pixie begins to soar away but zips back quickly when Leo addresses him. He looks at Leo with a mixture of impatience and looks even more confused than when he was looking at the man's amulet. "She said she spoke with you… I assumed you knew her. Inasyah is the mother and protectress of the Scolandi Forest, she and her consort Nakai are the Queen and King of the Fey Court."
He flitters over to Corren leaving a trail of bright colored dust and circles around the rogue several times as he speaks "Yes, outnumbered sort of and your friend is being held deep under ground behind a maze of caverns. Fortunately my friends and I have been in and out of there enough we can easily lead you to her. We can lead you around most of the guards but like I said, a fight is inevitable. If we can get in and out fast enough we should be able to avoid the bulk of their forces."
"Yes, let us go on."
As they move out, Leo decides an explanation is needed, "I had a… visit the night before last. I don't know if it was simply a vision or if she was actually with us in camp. She spoke of me being her knight, and warned of some danger caused by Clear Creek and other human settlements. She did not identify herself, mention Zinna, or explain what this danger is, but she did make… quite an impression. I have never seen or sensed anything like her before."
He scratches his beard a bit, "I didn't know what to make of it, and could not be certain it wasn't a trick of some kind. That is why I did not say anything right away, I am sorry for that."
"Now that I can compare though, I can at least be relatively certain she is of the fey, the being leading us has a similar aura, if not nearly as strong."

Guided by the pixie the party moves much quicker through the forest and after three hours at a fairly brisk pace the pixie suddenly comes to a stop and looks around thoughtfully. "Ok" he says cheerfully, "We can wait here… "
Meanwhile in the cavern Zinna falls into a deep sleep but is interrupted by the feeling of being shaken forcefully. She opens her eyes to see Lorilys; eyes wide her head swivels about looking for danger and she speaks in an excited but hushed tone “Get up Zinnathrya, there is no time to explain. Here…” Lorilys hands Zinna another berry “... I would have liked to plan more but there is no time. The Queen of the Fey! She has sent a guide to help us escape but the window of opportunity is small we need to move now!”
Out of Character: : Zinna’s exhaustion level drops to level 3 and if she consumes the berry it will drop to level 2.
Malek will continue to keep an eye on the little creature knowing its mischievous nature. Also having never encountering one before any first hand knowledge is a big plus. As they follow along he will make notes of its behaviour and how it interacts with its environs.
