"Maybe, since we've got one last soldier to face and he's restrained, we should see if he'll talk."
McGill attempts to question the foot soldier to determine the soldiers' motives for attacking the elves.

I'm curious to see if Pete had a plan on what he was going to do with his captured soldier, so I'll give him a bit more time to respond. Of course, if his answer isn't sufficiently amusing, then he'll get kicked in the head and the soldier will escape.
Choose your next move carefully, DarthFerret.

pete says, "sounds like a good idea to me, so if you don't hold still and answer our questions to our satisfaction, I will change your name to snack.

The lone soldier, still trapped in the web of deceit, remains unable to tell the truth about anything. And, to be honest, even if he weren't in the web, he wouldn't give you information anyway. So Pete will suck out his juices or whatever it is he had planned.
Status updates and more story coming tomorrow.

Day 4
Time: 9:57 pm
As the dust settles from the battle, the group hears a loud slow creak coming from the tree ahead. A figure can be seen emerging and hustling towards them. As the figure approaches, the group sees that he is a short fellow, perhaps two and a half feet in height, with a floppy hat upon his head, falling over his pointy ears. He's wearing some fur-lined boots that seem much too large for his scrawny legs and approaches nervously and hastily.
"I am Bernie, the leader of the Cobbler Elves. You have done us a service by dispatching those foot soldiers, but there is still danger. Quickly, we must hasten into the Uggly Tree where we will remain safe until morning."
With that, he leads the group to the entrance of the tree, where a grand double door (grand for him, anyway) opens as he draws near. Ward and McGill must duck to get inside but everyone fits in comfortably, as the center of the tree is hollowed out into a wide atrium, about the size of a small living room, upon passing over the threshold. The doors close behind the group and four elves rush behind to place a heavy beam across the doors.
Everyone settles down and Bernie continues to provide information.
"This is our home, the Uggly Tree. It is where we make our renowned Uggly Boots." He holds his foot up, admiring his footwear. "Three days ago, we came under siege by foot soldiers from the south of these woods. I am sure that they are the minions of Dr. Swol, a mad enchanter who works in the dark art of magical foot comfort elixirs. No doubt, he heard about the amazing natural and holy foot comfort powers provided by our boots and sent his soldiers in a fit of jealousy to shut us down."
"Fifteen men came originally. The five you killed this evening were there to keep guard at the base of the tree, but ten more have climbed up into the heights of our tree, where they no doubt have some scheme to destroy our home and livelihood. In the morning, you must climb up after those athletic foot soldiers and destroy them as you destroyed those on the ground."

Ward consults his 8-ball...
What is the current state of the market for magical foot comfort elixirs?
Quit playing with that thing. We have logistics to consider. How do we want to approach a battle in the canopy of the biggest tree in the world? Gnus are not renowned for their arboreal combat proficiency.

Pete does not seem too concerned with the prospects of a treetop battle. In fact, he appears to be ready to spin into action.

"Do you elves have food to spare for us? We're rather tired and hungry -- starting in the morning fixes the tiredness, but a good feast will help to fuel our efforts on the morrow."

You just drank a nutrient broth, courtesy of our last opponents. Haven't you had enough? Does your thirst for the juices of others know no bounds?
Ignore her, Pete. She was once a polecat. They break their victims' necks and drag them into their lairs alive so that the meat stays fresh.
