LoF: The Carrion King; Day Three

[tdsprouse]

Simi picks up a couple (2) of the Tanglefoot bags, “These will be useful... I'll help carry anything else I can.” He wraps up the Longbows and axes with rope to make them easier to carry.

[admin]

Ox will carry as much as he can, using a rope to tie stuff together.

“We should really get back to camp as fast as we can...and bring as much as we can. it's no big deal if we're encumbered a bit, as long as we don't have foes on our tail.” he suggests, not wanting to push their luck any further on this day.

[larenee]

“I agree, Ox. I'm sure they can make use of most of the combat gear, even as trade should the need arise. I'm will to carry all I can to get it back. Should we take the goat, too?”

[admin]

“Yes, the Goat as well!” Ox says.

[tdsprouse]

“Just keep it quiet.”

[larenee]

“Absolutely, Simi. 'Quiet' is defeinitely the intent.” After he and Ox load up all they can carry, Kroft turns to the rest of the team. “Shall we be on our way?”

[Arpat]

Erin looks at the goat “"i hope it stays quiet... maybe we should let it run and use it as a distraction.. i'll check outside the door if it is safe... just wait a few seconds."”
Erin moves to the door and peers through, waiting for a command to go check.

[tdsprouse]

Itching to go, Simi waits on Erin's report.

It wasn't easy.

Erin surveys the immediate area and sees no threat so you move on, carrying all that has been found. Carefully, you cross the bridge, scanning the two roads ahead. One forks northeast, the other follows the string of buildings that building 2 is adjacent to. You opt for the road leading northeast. As you reach the edge of the ruins this road leads you through you hear commotion to the south. When you look, you see the gnolls in an uproar as two others drag the body of the boar out. You do your best to make haste and spread out on the open plain, using what cover you can find to hide your trail and presence.

Soon you reach the Monastery. Your escape undetected. By now you expect they found the dead creature and will be surely making efforts to route out the attackers.

“Ah. By your description, this sounds like a peryton. Most dangerous this thing is. It's likely the goats were merely a payoff to ally it to the gnolls. It's shadow can assume the shape of whomever it touches and from then on, it has the upper hand over that subject. It's good that you caught it in such a confined space. Had it been out in the open, it could have likely been the end of at least one of you.” Garavel then departs, asking you to wait in the debriefing room, which is also the mess hall when no one is eating. He eventually returns with Almah and Father Zastoran. She looks pleased after getting all the details.
“Rest up. You've done well. The gnolls will likely turn the town upside down, thinking you are there. They are not the brightest of creatures.”
