I could do a water elemental for 40 rnds.
That would be nice for scouting the bottom of the lake.

He will also scry location on the waterfall.

You watch for twenty minutes and see no activity other than the standard water.  I assume you watch during what would be a busy time.  Your scrye does not get the entire lake.

I would prefer to use one from Saladien's flock; I don't completely trust Owl Lady yet. Haas will cast "chain of eyes" on the scout.

I will assume you scrye and then cast the chain of eyes.  The bird that you cast it on flies around the lake, around noon and after when it would be crowded.

You see lots of activity around the lake, halflings mostly and a few others fishing and getting water.  Its a bit too cool for swimming or water play.

You would have to get close enough to summon it so it would have time to move around the lake.

What are you thinking? Haas will help.
Strategically placed Runic Markers.  The thought is to out them in sensitive areas (Our sleeping areas, the sleeping areas of the powerful people of the town, etc...) Only give the password to those who truly need it.

Currently, you are sleeping in a camp you made outside of the building where the city leaders were staying.  You block the road.  There are no buildings around capable to keeping all of you, as Valizar, the orcs, and the gnolls are all bigger than almost all inhabitants of Owt.

Vor'Ruk implements " Watch practices implemented by the Cannies on the boiling line" to try to minimize our exposure.

Saladien agrees with Haas and doesn't completely trust the owl guard either.  I think it would be good to use one of my animals (it looks like you have already done that).

I assumed you were okay with it, thank you for confirming.

During your day long viewing using the Chain of Eyes, you see many things.  I will assume you ask the city leaders if these are normal, and filtering out what turns out to be normal activity, what you are left with is what I will list.

- There are halflings paroling the lake.  They stop anyone who approaches the lake and talk with them before the proceed.  On multiple occasions, you observe a halfling cast a spell on those that approach.

- There is a group of heavily armed elves that circle the lake around 4 in the afternoon.  Five in total, they are not recognized by any of the city leaders.

Can anyone tell through the spell whether the Halflings and Elves are legit or Fey in disguise?

I don't believe the Chain of Eyes allows any spell that could determine that to be cast through it.

Looks like the same spells available.  The basic detections won't reveal that.

I assume the halfling patrols aren't sanctioned or recognized by the Owt leadership either?

Are they there the entire time we're watching (up to 20 hrs)?

What does the halfling patrol do when they encounter the elves?
