Owlventure - Day 28

General Summary

The original session log was lost due to a site error. This MAY be a duplicate of Day 27. It's possible the logs are misnumbered.
A brief summary:
The heroes explore the human's homestead. The area consists primarily of forest, with a small cleared area of dry dirt in the center. It is ringed by a few sections of fencing. Inside there is the skeleton of a buildng yet to be built, a small lean-to style building, and a bigger, nicer cabin. Magic in the area prevents the spiders from entering. The heroes however, are able to enter. There are Ravens overhead, circling, but unable to see the tiny heroes. They first venture to the small building. Inside they discover supplies and traps. Thorne takes out a mouse trap to use on the human. There is a far bigger bear trap in the bottom, too big for him to move. Across the room there is a massive cage, built straight into the cabin. A cell. Inside is an extremely angry lemur. He can talk.
The Lemur has been tortured and is initially not very friendly to the heroes. They are able to heal him some, and get the cage unlocked. This begins a basic alliance between them. The Lemur will settle for nothing less than the Hunter's death. He forces his way out of the building and is prepared for a fight. Immediately the Ravens descend upon him. It's a battle between the heroes, lemur, and the Ravens. At least it proves to be an easy enough battle. Though Thorne is briefly carried off by one of the Ravens.
They investigate the hunter's cabin, discovering extensive notes written in a demonic language. What they're able to decipher is not good. He has detailed bios and knowledge of EVERY faction in the woods. Many factions the heroes haven't met yet. Every person of importance. And plans to send them to war against each other. Plans for the owls to fight and wipe themselves out. To weaken the magical creatures of the woods until he can take over and enslave them all.
Alistair copies a Geass scroll here for use later. He intends to learn the spell.
There are a wide range of other powerful spells here. Spells to alter the mind, control, torture, and burn others. The man isn't much of a mage, but he's got a good stockpile to use.
From here, the heroes update the spiders, and the spiders warn them that Gylfie has been taken.
