Jamie slips the gloves onto her hands and immediately feels them warming and shrinking. They almost shrink to her size, but not quite.The gloves were definitely made for larger hands.
Jamie pulls on the wires with little affect, except for maybe tightening them. After telling the small little man she doesn't know what she is doing, he joins in, wrapping his long, thin fingers around hers to help pull, to no avail. He has only about half her strength.
He falls back, gently landing on his butt with a pained look that quickly changes to a quirky smile,You seem to need more help than I Jamie Boggett,and he lets out a small chuckle.Jamie, my name is Hue, I am a brownie, if you hadn't already guessed. The one your helping, she is a nymph, her name is Liana. These wires aren't just silver. Aguila added powdered wight's skull to them while they were in liquid form. That's part of what allows them to dampen the intrinsic magic in us and makes us cold.
Hue follows Jamie's eyes, staring at Carillo just as she does. Carillo smiles and opens his eyes and comes to stand next to her. Hue stands up and takes Carillo's hand like a child. They both watch her, Hue's face full of hope, Carillo's full of confidence.
Jamie starts tentatively, then moves quicker and with more assurance as she realizes she can do this, that she has much more skill at animating and enchanting than whoever made and bound this silver wire around the nymph. Her experience with crafting 'rope thing,' serving her well in guiding her crafting. In a few moments, that seemed much longer to Jamie, Liana is free.
Liana lets out a slow moan and rolls over, covering herself and still sobbing, but not nearly as hard as before. Jamie hears Hue's soft voice from behind her,Please, go easy with her. She has suffered so much, it has her softened her thoughts. Many humans would call her 'touched' or devil tainted. She was hurt even before the tentacle monster touched her. Aguila had it wrap it's head around hers. It was disgusting and vile and Liana shrieked and shrieked as the thing sucked and sucked. She hasn't been the same since that happened. You see, Paulinus and Liana are, um, I don't know how to politely say this, they are hmmm, paramours. Aguila believed she knew how to find him or if not that, he would come to save her if Aguila hurt her bad enough. Paulinus didn't of course, because he couldn't. He is sleeping, dreaming and protecting and feeding the Tree. He is not resting because of wounds from the dragons. Those are just stories. Paulinus sleeps and dreams, sending his energies here to protect this Tree. Have you heard of Percy Trapsinger? He was the halfling bard and ranger who brought magic back. Percy is the one who founds the seedlings of magic touched by the White Trees. This Tree, is one of those seedlings.

Jamie is really relieved that she was able to remove the wight bone + silver wire now and today. It would have bothered her and kept her mind occupied too much if she failed and had to put off more attempts on another day.
Jamie takes the gloves off and gives them back to Hue with a little nod of thanks. She thinks it is sad that Aguila and his Illithid were harming the nymph...and all that trauma was so pointless. She says, I killed one tentacled creature like you describe. I hope it was the same. Let's let her stay here with the tree and with that pool she was swimming in until she is ready to leave. Hue, is there someplace Carillo can pick her up and put her that would make her more comfortable than here on the ground? Jamie thinks people might be coming in and out of the door over the next few days - best to have this Liana somewhere else. She also wants to give the girls something to wear or a blanket...and get her Cloak of Charisma back.
Jamie hadn't guessed that this fellow named Hue was a Brownie. She was thinking he was a Pixie. And, she was fairly wrong about the womanly Liana being a dryad. But, close enough on both counts.
Jamie takes a long look at the tree as Hue tells his story.
Yes, I have heard the story of Percy Trapspringer. That wasn't that long ago. I thought the original tree's offspring were all little seedlings and saplings still. But, I guess a magic tree can grow just as magically fast as it likes.
Ok. Well. Key tells me there are a bunch of you that need help in here. Wanna lead me to the next?

Hue looks earnestly at Jamie, his eyes darkening a bit. Without taking his eyes off her, he points with his left hand,There are several small alcoves on the other side of the Tree. That's where she usually sleeps. He should take her there and, if it's not too much to ask, stay close to her, in case she spasms and starts biting her tongue. Carillo squints at Hue, one eyebrow arching as he tucks his chin down, protecting his throat.
Jamie just noticed that Maltham and Densinar haven't moved. They both stand, eyes open, still as statues. Carillo gently picks Liana up, his thumb rubbing under her chin and touching her neck as he cradles her to him.
Carillo lifts Liana and stands behind Hue, his face hidden to the Brownie. Jamie can see a quizzical, wondering look on his face. He is looking at Hue and Liana and she can tell he is thinking with her, this is a Pixie and a dryad, not a brownie and a nymph. He is also not buying the story about the seedlings and this Tree.
Hue's face lightens up and he eagerly starts talking,I know, it doesn't seem possible does it? Paulinus though can do great things. He is not like other mages and Druids. He is an Arch-Mage!
OOC-Jamie roll sense motive adding +5 and SA Will DC 13 against Charm Person.

Jamie wonders what the heck is going on with Carillo's suspicious and protective stances and quizzical looks that cross his face. She thinks that Maltham and Densinar look a little...frozen in place. Jamie tries to reasses the situation.
Secure Rolls:
sense motive 1d20(8)+5 = 13
will save vs. charm 1d20(11)+12 = 23

Looking at Maltham and Densinar, Jamie realizes they are held in place. Both captured by a simple hold person spell cast at high level. Carillo is now moving one of his fingers in a circular motion, pointing at the silver strands that once bound the dryad/nymph and arching an eyebrow at Hue as he does.
Hue has no chains or any kind of visible bindings on him at all. He looks well fed and compared to the woman, he shows no real signs of a hard captivity like her. Carillo doesn't trust Hue at all and is warning Jamie to do the same.
Jamie is considering this when she feels a charm wafting over her like a fine silk scarf. She easily brushes it off, knowing it came from somewhere near Hue and Carillo, but not from either of them. She also realizes her protection from evil spell is gone and Carillo's usual protective circle has dampened and no longer protects her.
OOC-Carillo has an aura of Protectcion like a Paladin, covering himself and anyone within ten feet of him. Only now it's only about three feet.
