After a delay of several hours, Thava and Cheerwind get messages from her father and the Fay court, that say "You're our agents.  Negotiate.  No deal without assurance the ship won't attack.  Investigate having our world sanctioned noncontact or included in Galactic Alliance"<br/><br/>Shyeal gets a message "Act as our diplomat.  Use your judgement.  Protect Elven interests.  Dwarven and Gnomish envoys will be there soon".<br/><br/>In fact, the Gnomish Envoy meets her soon after the message.  "THERE you are!"  he says.  Shyeal recognizes one of the Gnomes who'd helped them.  "It's me.  Warryn Wambledore.  Remember?  I rode with you from town?  The boss said I should represent Gnomish interests talking with the space ship, cause I know the most about the aliens.  The dwarf guy is just getting to town.  He didn't want to use an airship, so he took a boat.  Been sailing since the day after they landed, so I've heard."  The dwarven envoy arrives soon after.  Both are dressed in fancy clothes.<br/><br/>(Seeing other reactions is fine.  I added the reaction of the bigwigs.)
