Session 6
On the forth night of travel to Kythyss, the day after leaving Horsa, the strange mix of travellers took watch for the night and to rest their weary heads. Hamwise and Sckips took the first watch, discussing some similarities and differences between the two and even showed off their acrobatic skills to each other. During their watch, they both heard movement in the darkness of their campfire. Sckips cast Darkvision on Hamwise and, thanks to the magic now imbued within him, he saw a pack of Gnolls, strange hyena humanoids, stalking the campsight. Those on watch agreed to wake the others up, and after a brief discussion, Us cast Rope Trick and instructed the group to climb the rope. After everyone but Us was inside, he began to climb and tried to recall his knowledge of these creatures. He realised very quickly that, although they would be safe in his spell, their campsight would not be and the chances of these Gnolls ransacking and burning their tents was almost a garuntee. With this knowledge, Us began attacking the Gnolls he could see, telling the others to help.
A skirmish quickly ensued, with the Gnolls firing arrows and other ammunition at the group, who were limited to the rope, and after some time, managed to kill the Gnolls and prevent them from stealing anything of value from the group. Upon returning to the campsite and checking for damages, the group looted the Gnolls and discovered that same symbol on the Gnoll Leader as with the thugs who attacked the group only two days prior on the road. After some discussion, the group agreed this couldn’t have been a coincidence yet they had no leads. After some skinning of the Gnolls to possibly sell their hides, Tayln and Hamwise continued their watch, with Hamwise sleeping shortly after. Tayln offered and tinkered with Hamwise’s crossbow and managed to enhance it during the watch, with Us and Sckips spending some time in the Rope Trick spell discussing what just occurred and how to move forward before returning to their tents for the night. The group only has one more day to go before arriving in Kythyss, and it already has been a long week…
