    At the Tree.

    When Dravick points out Zan as the source of the Tree and the "instrument of the gods" a crowd gathers around him.

    Long-beard fanatic guy:
    This guy? This stuttering fool is the one? Pah!

    Scruffy Guy:
    He doesn't look much like a prophet.

    Zan feels the staff move in his hands slightly, jerking a little bit... or pulling. It feels powerful again somehow. Zan senses the power of fear within it as it was before the Tree was called forth. It's on tip of his tongue, the word to speak. Its as if the staff itself wants to be used. It's like the staff itself is angry.

    When Zan first picked up the staff it communicated the command words for a fear function and a magic missile function; words Zan still knows.

    Back at the Guild HQ, Stables:

    Sandra and Matthew are talking somewhat when a Giant Owl lands in the back yard next to the stables. It appears from nowhere in a dive and lands almost without a sound. It's about ten feet tall. Matthew turns when he sees that Sandra has seen something behind him. A man in leather armor dismounts quickly from the owl and rushes into the guild house through the kitchen door. This is the first time either have seen a giant owl, although they've heard stories of how the Cougars used them to fly to the Broken Mountain.

    Giant Owl:
    {incomprehsible cawwing}
    Can either of you good humans adjust this saddle strap for me?

    It's eyes are huge and it smells of damp feathers. The voice is strained but unmistakably speaking common.
    [OOC: yes, another talking bird]
