Fhel 28, 2425 - Chapter 3 - Session 2 - Are we being punked by Fey?

A new Morning Dawns in camp. In town caravans start arriving now as the Stonekeepers continue to restore order so the citizens can return to a somewhat normal life again free from the iron fist of The Syndicate.
Bruin spends some more time with the kids telling more stories. Odra and Z'ed start planning our next moves with some new news of ominous things happening in the north. But for now we have some much needed rest and reprieve. Amani emerged from her tent with some snappy new digs. Apparently a gift form her uncle Murderlegs. A gorgeous purple fur lined coat with a very impressive make and quality and a gold craftman's mark of Murderlegs on the collar. Very Nice! After some breakfast and morning prep We all decide to head into town to resupply and see what the caravans have. Amani, Odra, Bruin and I got some new runes to make our armor more potent. After acquiring the runes I was put to work the rest of the day installing all the damn things for the party. Glad to save the group some money but damn my hands are sore. All in all it was a good day's shopping as we are almost all dirt poor now but we are kitted out like some badass motherfuckers. We gathered out stuff and started out travel north. Along the way we heard a strange sound like whistling emanating from a nearby tree. Bruin and Z'ed went to check it out. Z'ed says she saw a weird 3 eyed mask in the tree's bark while Bruin saw a beastial smile. Z'ed thought there must be some fey influence and trickery at play there. Bruin went to touch it and as soon as he did the whistling stopped and face vanished. Left in the area he found a leaf that said "She sees" then a gust took the leave out of his paw and away in the breeze. What the hell was that all about? After that weird encounter we continued to head north to Len's Hollow a little more creeped now. We decided to go off the road and cut through the mountains so as to stay off the main road in case anyone or anything is expecting us. About 4 days in we cut to the east and came across as camp that looks it was abandoned in a rush. We went in and took a look around the camp. Half eaten food and some field notes about a leyline fracture nearby. On the edge of camp was a strange mushroom circle with a journal near it. Odra heard a faint hum that stopped as she approached. Z'ed took a look at the journal. The last entry was very ominous about not following the humming and the trees are alive or some shit. Odra implemented a buddy system while we were in the area so as to not wander off alone. Nothing else of note happened just another creepy occurrence in our trip. We continued on then out of nowhere a heard of elk came storming out of the forest undergrowth. Weirdly not a single sound came from them. One came awfully close to us and had a strange humanoid shadow about it. Next thing I know they were coming towards us. Odra got up and roared at them to try and scare them to change course. It worked and they veered off from our direct path. Amani used her occult abilities to try and push back on whatever fey influence is on the heard. They came back around and charged us again. I blended into the brush to hide MSDOS and myself from their stampede. Z'ed was able to leap over the herd. Bruin found us some high ground out of the way of the way of the stampede while Klackers honed in on one specific elk that was the only one to actually have the humanoid shadow and seemed to be the key to what was happening to the rest of the herd. Odra was able to sooth some of the elk on the edge of the group and the rest kinda of just dispersed back into the tree line. As they vanished into the brush the last one lingered just long enough to turn back at us and stare before leaping into the forest where a female giggling followed shortly after. Someone is messing with us and getting a kick out of all this.
