As we're walking through the forest, an arrow landed in front of us. The wild elf told us that it was shot by his friends. We then called out that we came in peace but they didn't buy it. They kept shooting arrow around us hinting us to leave. The wild elf then climbed up a tree and disappeared on sight. Some of us dropped our weapons to show sign that we're harmless. After a while, Quanta threatened them that he'll burn the forest down if they don't show themselves and the wild elves weren't happy with that. They triggered a trunk trap which killed Quanta. Drok them how could they do that!
Clouded by my rage, I felt like slaughtering each and every of them. We came to help and this is what we get? This is how we get paid for showing kindness? I hid the anger on my face then dropped my crossbow and try to persuade them hoping that they'll reveal themselves so I could take revenge for Quanta. After trying for a while, I finally calmed down and realized it was actually Quanta's fault... How could they still trust people when their community was slaughtered in a day? Why would they not kill someone who threatens to burn their home?
The wild elves finally told us to drop our weapons. We did so and they revealed themselves and collected our weapons and kept it in a sack. After a long conversation, they bought us to visit their burnt village and demanded us to help destroy Ossington. We told him that the villagers took the small animals to transform them into humans and whoever is using that spell is said to be misusing it. They then focused their attention to Dyson, Cuckoo, Tully and Henwen. We have no idea who to trust... Seeing that the wild elves' village got burnt and only 3 of them are left... Their story seemed more... trust-able? We then agreed to their plan to kill Dyson, Cuckoo, Tully and Henwen.
After resting in the forest, we returned to Ossington with the wild elves. The wild elves made sure they were hidden out of sight of the villagers. Faeron's suggestion of putting up an angry and disappointed face while carrying Quanta's dead body on a stretcher managed to trick Cuckoo. He believed that we were defeated by the wild elves and retreated. Faeron demanded Cuckoo to gather the Tully, Hanwen and Dyson at Dyson's tower to discuss a plan to avenge Quanta. Cuckoo agreed and we brought Quanta's dead body back to our temporarily house.
We approached the tower with uneasiness. How are we going to execute the plan? Who should we aim first? We entered the tower told them about our encounters. Apparently, Cuckoo already told them the story. After some consideration, Cuckoo and Hanwen doesn't seem harmful, Tully may be a swordman but we can slowly take her down but Dyson, a magician can cast a lot of dangerous large area spells. So I set my priority on Dyson. I approached him and asked him about a spell that can maintain Quanta's decaying body. While he's flipping through the book, I tried to pin him down but my hand slipped away from his shoulder and hence I failed miserably, luckily he believed that I was just brushing off something on his shoulder. Rohan saw my failed act and rushed quickly to Dyson and grabbed him! Let's hope things work out!

Chapter 19
We went to find Hanwen to ask about the horseman with Zaradin symbol but all we got from her was that the little pet on her shoulder was called Hobyah. What a disappointment! We then rode to the forest west to Ossington in hope that we'll find the elves who massacred the villagers.
Slightly before sunset, Faeron discovered a dryad tree that was killed by girdling the bark around it. Ryotine decided to stay to see whoever did this and the rest of the party wanted to rest at Ossington. I felt insecured for Ryotine and offered to stay to help her. She transformed to a tree and I hid on a tree while the rest of the party went back to Ossington. That was a night that I couldn't forget...
During midnight, a small and cute monkey-like animal approached me. It was a Hobyah, the animal that Hanwen kept as a pet. I shooed it away from me but more of them came back and started attacking me. Ryotine came to help and we found out that their skin is as hard as steel! Not only that, these little monsters can even transform to a eerie and bigger sized monkey. We found it impossible to defend ourselves and we ran for it. We reached Ossington and told the others about our encounters.
The next morning we went to the chapel to ask Hanwen about the hobyahs who attacked us. Instead of finding Hanwen, we found our horses dead and torn apart. There were evidence of small bites all over their bodies. We returned to Ossington to ask Dyson about her whereabouts. We followed and direction Dyson gave and knocked on her door but no one answered. We then went to explore the forest west of Ossington again.
In the forest, we encountered a wild elf and successfully captured him. He claimed that his people was massacred by Ossington. They were killed during the parley to discuss Ossington's removal of too many animals from the forest. There are only 3 of them left. We told him we're here to help and he bought us to where his friends are. So, which of them are actually telling the truth?
