I catch the amulet in mid-air, and with my other hand, I draw my sword.
"Put the sword away... This is a gift from the dwarf who hired you... It's a communication amulet... you squeeze it and imagine the person you want to talk to, but they also need to have one... " - I say to Eric...
"Let's go..."

Hmm... I take out the communication amulet and start a conversation with Ada...
"Ada, where are you now? Maybe we can meet... It would be helpful for us to join forces again... And Eric, the new one, could benefit from getting to know the team..."

"We're approaching a village, and we decided to spend the night there. Why don't you join us at the local tavern? We can hang out for the night and then head into battle tomorrow. How far are you from us?"

-Howmie, take her - and get out of here! Teleport, quickly!

I reacted instantly, pictured the Grove in front of the Dwarven Castle, and teleported...

I found myself in front of an oak tree... There was no castle... My legs gave way, I barely managed to stay upright, I laid the girl down by the oak tree, then I collapsed myself. "Ugh... Where is my composure:(, I got nervous after all, where am I now..." I smiled, and lost consciousness...

[/U]The One Who Sees Dreams: you see a silhouette falling from a great height, directly into the crater of a volcano... suddenly, a falcon flies up to you and pecks you painfully on the forehead... you wake up. A falcon is sitting on the window sill...
- Tanya...- it says in the voice of Wiz...
Actions?
Wiz??? What happened? - I ask the falcon
What a strange dream...
I am confused...
-What's wrong with him? - I ask the falcon
-He's injured... Hurry, follow me - a voice sounds in my head
I put on my cloak, take my arrows and staff... I need to hurry!!
Running through the echoing stone corridors... No one in the way - or maybe that's for the best? The falcon flies swiftly, I can barely keep up... Blood is pounding in my temples... faster...
The crater of the volcano.... something or someone is down there...
-Is that him?
-Yes - a voice sounds in my head - Hurry!
What to do? I can still get down - but what then? I can't lift him... Although - teleport... I just don't know if I can teleport with him... I need to try!
I descend using a rope... The falcon circles nearby... It's so hot...
Wiz is injured... I need to concentrate... I cast Teleport - I need to teleport at least to the banquet hall... It didn't quite work - we ended up in one of the corridors. But all in all, it doesn't matter! The main thing is, we got out...
Now I need to call the dwarves - let them help carry him... A thousand hellhounds, an assault tomorrow!!! His injury is not good for us...

Together with the dwarves, we carry the injured Wiz... More trouble - as if I didn't have enough worries... and yet - what happened to him??

"Hold on, where is that darn village... Where should we go?" - I ask Ada...
"We won't head to Mistrad... First, we'll meet my friends," - I say to Eric...
Heh... I think if we continue in the direction we were going, we'll reach a road... We can take a look there...
It's already daytime... We're walking... Grove... Wow... Not a bad club... A huge, beautiful oak appears ahead... Although I've seen bigger ones...
I head towards the oak and suddenly notice that near the oak...

"You are a great inconvenience to me, Lord Novizard..." "Tremble, Wiz, we'll get out of here soon!" "Cancel the assault." "He's wounded!" "Forget about the idea of storming Kr'thak."
- Tanya... - I opened my eyes... I was lying in bed, the room was in a cozy semi-darkness... Tanya was sitting next to me.
- Tanya... - I repeated in a daze... She smiled... I lost consciousness again... or fell asleep?

He spoke: "Stop... don't kill me!"
-And why is that? Why did you attack?
-I was ordered to...
-By whom?
- It doesn't matter... I was told that you are an accomplice of demons, that you didn't come to us for no reason...
But something about the Dancer's words didn't sit right with you... As if he were reciting a prepared speech or someone was controlling his mind... Exactly!! Why didn't it occur to me immediately! But only a very skilled mage could do this... and there were none nearby... But perhaps this is connected to the missing censer? The priest told you that the censer has unusual properties known to few... And if an evil wizard were to seize it, it could be very, very dangerous.
So that's why the priest said only an outsider could have stolen the censer... he simply didn't know! A mage controlled the Dancer's mind—he did all the dirty work...
But now the task grew more complicated—the mage had to be found. You had a lead—a strange amulet hung around the Dancer's neck: a hydra enclosed in a six-pointed star.
So, take action!

What a predicament, I thought. And may Uragsh tear me apart across all of Shio, for I still need to somehow hide the traces of my crime—after all, I broke into someone else's house, and in principle, the elf I defeated could easily tell the guards about it, framing it as if I wanted to rob him... But this part is easy to solve. Dancers—whether of death or blades—are literally obsessed with honor, especially Gilraen, the most famous among them, and therefore they never break their word. "But," I immediately corrected myself, "his mind seems to be under control?" What else can I do, I countered. And besides, perhaps he is only controlled while wearing the amulet (very uncharacteristic for wood elves!), or perhaps the sense of honor sits so deep within him that he cannot violate it, even while under control...
And then it hit me again. The elf should be taken to the priest—I got the impression that he can be trusted—and I should ask the priest to use the magic of Elrath to lift the evil spell. I can also ask him about the amulet, or better yet, visit the local library—if there is one here, of course, which is unlikely.
Additionally, I needed to go to the magistrate the very next day to find out who is searching for the missing censer and what is already known.
-Get up, - I said to my former enemy. He complied, rising with difficulty—it's hard to stand up without leaning on your hands, and his hands were quite seriously wounded. I took a rope lying nearby and tied his hands—even wounded, a dancer is very dangerous—and just in case, I gagged him: it wouldn't do for him to start calling for help when we step outside! After that, I bandaged our wounds, explaining along the way that I was now taking him to a place where he would be helped, and that he would be better off—and here I looked at him as expressively as I could, then at my sword—behaving quietly. He only nodded silently, for he already had a gag in his mouth.
Having finished the unpleasant work, I took a step back and looked critically at the creature standing before me. An elf of medium height, barefoot and bare-chested, with hands tied behind his back and wrapped in gradually reddening pieces of cloth (I tore one of the robes in the wardrobe for bandages), and a gag in his mouth. I involuntarily chuckled—it all looked so ridiculous—and, telling myself that he would look somewhat strange and overly provocative on the street in this state, I took another hooded cloak from the wardrobe and threw it over him. Now he could easily pass for a weary traveler.
I took his blades—I'll sell them later—and several jars from the shelves—they seemed like decent things, alchemists love such nasties. Also, in the pocket of the robe I tore for bandages, I found—just lucky—a purse with 12 coppers and 3 silvers...
Stuffing all this gear into my bag, removing the amulet from my prisoner's neck and putting it in my pocket, I nudged the elf with his wounded arm and we headed toward the church...
(the sword was already in its scabbard, the right hand gripped a walking staff, and a dagger was hidden in its sleeve, ready to jump into the palm and enter the fray at any moment...)

- We accept your offer; it will be much safer to travel with you in these turbulent times, - I replied. A minute later, we were already moving towards Krrah-Taak, settling in at the back of the column of paladins.
The paladin squad and you were peacefully riding along the road... when suddenly you saw a thick black smoke billowing on the horizon... The paladin captain says that it looks like someone set a village on fire; perhaps it was demons nearby, near their nest... Krrah-Taak needs to find out what happened. The entire squad of riders sets out to investigate. What are your actions?

P.S. I meant that someone was near the oak tree...let's say it was a different oak tree...

I was heading towards that oak tree...
Whoa...But something's not right here...I noticed an oak tree, and it was standing a little behind the oak tree I was heading towards...
Hmm...Something's off here...

You see a clear sky in your dream... a snow-white eagle soaring in it, sparkling in the rays of the rising sun... it seems like you are flying... suddenly, hail falls from the sky and hits you in the forehead... You wake up, and an air falcon is sitting on you.
It speaks in the voice of the Elf who gave you the task... "Enough lazing around, you lazybones (a slight smile), it's time to finish off the Demons... consult with your friends... You will need strength to complete your mission! In his infinite care, Silat is ready to sacrifice a part of himself for this ;) good luck, and don't disappoint my hopes :) I believe in you." The voice faded... and only the leaves rustled around... suddenly, the falcon spread its wings, began to dissipate... and the air currents of what was once a bird flowed into you, completely replenishing your strength and healing all wounds... you felt unprecedented freedom... this intoxicating feeling... (+50% movement and combat speed for 2 days). What are your actions?

I tell Sage that it would be better to follow them (the paladins). Maybe we'll learn something new. What are the demons' powers? And so on.

- Ahem... esteemed ones. Since you have suffered so much from the demons, perhaps you can help us in our fight against them. Otherwise, Urgash's flames will continue to spread across our land... We are going to storm Krrah-Taak, and your help would be very useful to us!
The elves agreed - excellent! Our small squad has become a little bigger...
In the evening, Ta Kotoraya decided to discuss the attack strategy with the squad commander... you enter his tent.
- May your beauty be as gentle as the emerald foliage in spring! - the Elf greets you (his name is Silioen)
- And to you as well, eternal youth. I came to discuss tomorrow's assault... perhaps you can suggest something?
- I don't know, I have little experience in taking cities... we mostly fight in the forest. But I have something to please you with ;) - He winks conspiratorially at you. - The fact is that my brothers have been fighting Urgash's offspring in this area for a long time. My squad and I, by order of the Elven King, maintain peace in this part of the Irrolan border. We went on reconnaissance, I and 5 of my companions, but we fell into a demon trap. Thanks to Silvan, the forest protected me and two of my comrades, we managed to kill several demons controlling the trap, and we wanted to hide from the demons, but they sent their hounds after us... unfortunately, you can't hide behind a tree from these sensitive creatures :) and so we met you. So, I'm saying all this because not far away is the camp of my squad of Rising Sun border guards. And they will gladly join us in your noble cause. What can they do to contribute to the success of the operation? (There are about 2-3 dozen elves in the camp, about a quarter of a day's journey from you).

"Yes... What now? We need to teleport," - I picked up the girl, concentrated, and suddenly...
an arrow pierced the tree next to you... the fletching made of leaves clearly indicated that it was an elven arrow, and that you would not have time to teleport before receiving another one.
Near the tree stood one elf, and he had no bow, only two swords of a peculiar shape crossed behind his back.
- This is the border territory of the elves. What are you doing here?

Hmm... there's a war going on with demons right now... they might send a small detachment here...
Well... I'll see who's there and then decide what to do... I approach the oak tree (the normal one, near which someone is standing), and there...

The oak tree stirred and extended its branches towards you... suddenly, red eyes lit up on the tree... it seemed to think that you were involved in the burning of its friend, or who knows what else a tree might think? On one of the branches, you notice something shiny... the tree is approaching you.
What do you do?
