Curufin is still collecting crystals, and as he fills the last bag, he looks around for Huma birds to carry them. The birds that arrive are carrying a black bag, which they hand over to Curufin. Then they make gestures that indicate that he must read the paper scroll but leave alone whatever is in there. Luckily for Curufin, he learned some bird languages from his brother Celegorm, back in the day. The Huma birds don't speak Crow or Raven, but Curufin is used to interpreting the signs of birds. A little puzzled, he unrolls the scroll and reads it.
"Oh, it's from the Adventurers' Guild! It says not to open the bag until nightfall, distribute the crystals around the islands, and then get the hell off before sunrise." He looks up at the birds and smiles. "Okay, I guess we can do that."
Distributing the crystals:
After nightfall, Curufin hums as he works, scattering the crystals about the islands. He's long since gotten the knack of jumping from one island to another, and he doesn't fall to his death TOO OFTEN, ROTFL. Those damn sprites make the best of their opportunities, sweeping him up into the air and kidnapping him to be their dance partner. He grins and plays along until he can find a way to escape.
Falling islands:
Curufin finds a way to get back down to the ground, and just in time, too. He is looking up at the sky when the sun rises, and then he remembers he's not supposed to be anywhere near the crater when that happens. The first island starts to fall.
"Holy crap!" he exclaims, and runs like hell. Luckily, he has long legs and an amazing amount of energy and power, and so he just narrowly misses being clunked by a falling island. He scrambles away coughing from the dust and debris.
Royal Lake Hill:
Back to the tavern. He thinks about drinking himself under the table, but then he decides that wouldn't be such a good idea. He might miss the Voidtrecker's summons and end up embarrassingly in a suitcase in the luggage car.
So, off he goes to see the sights. He laughs uproariously at the puppet show, as that sort of humor is right up his alley.
His SCA beeps, shows him where the Voidtrecker is, and informs him that he can stay in town until sunset. He does stay, and it turns out that a group of those budding adventurers are eager to buy him a drink. So he goes with them and gets drunk. Finally, he staggers down the road to find the train.
