Searhing for Missing People

Greetings!
Under less tragic circumstances, I'd be jumping with joy seeing you. But the way things are going, I must ask for your help. Don't laugh but Elena is missing again. Well, it isn't funny anyway... The most part of our group has gone missing along with her.
Our adventure in the Forest is quite a story! Although I'm not sure that I could ever put the horrors we survived into words.
All that matter is that the... wooden lady agreed to spare our lives for now. I suppose, most of my companions fell into different traps here, in the forest. I would be grateful if you could find them all and bring them here. Once we gather together, we'll negotiate our freedom.

We have no time to waste!

It was wrong to call the children "hippies." Herbert told me that they could kill us all if it weren't for you. Well... thanks!
