The gnolls charged with nets, while well-armored hunters
covered them with elven bows from horseback. Undaunted, Justice and Hedge
charged, shattering the gnoll's forward line. Marty threw up a fog and
counseled that they follow their fighters. The mounted gnolls were the only
true threat, inflicting several serious wounds, but thanks to Marty's healing
magic they weren't enough to fell the fighters. Two gnolls tried to steal
Marty's horse, but he chased them down on Lex's borrowed mount and retrieved
his steed.
Back in the city, the boys resumed their research,
continuing to hit strange blocks from the current council and odd gaps in the
kingdom's records. Shorty after their return, a nearly naked Yuri Hoyer
stumbled into town with another startling tale. This time he claimed that he
had been a slave to the gnolls for 2 years, and that he - and other slaves -
had just been released by the tribe's "head bitch" as a sign of
apology in hopes she might head off a war with the humans. Justice found his
claims dubious, but the prince put Yuri up in a house with a modest stipend
until he could get back on his feet.
Lex discovered a secret cache of interesting documents in
his sister's closet.
