Kecil

Taking Keeland at his word, Kecil leads the rest of the party out of the Lady's tent. Dashki follows, and as the group exits Kecil turns to him.

"You'll be making sure to be where we can find you should the need arise, eh?" Dashki nods in confirmation before heading off toward his own small tent.
 


Houwlou Groulenas

Houwlou likewise does not speak, not quite sure what to make of these most recent happenings. But he does give an occasional low growl, indicating his discomfort with ... something.

The crew makes its way back to the area around the burned out wagon, this time searching the ground around the fired area for tracks similar to those on the sketch.

The ground is muddied and trampled from the efforts of the firefighters, but Houwlou is quite surprised to find two partial footprints that he thinks match those on the sketch provided by Dashki. Unfortunately it is impossible for even Houwlou to determine when they were made, how many there were, or what direction they went when they left.
 


Houwlou Groulenas

Houwlou begins examining the track around the burned-out shell of the wagon. "Aye, Harnry, this whole situation stinks in my nostrils! But, see here -- these are the tracks of the beast!"

"how do we know he speaks true that it is this beast. none of us have ever heard of these things so ther eis no way to verify that the track is of this creature, but it could be that of a very commen and harmless creature.

We have quite the quandry"

Suddenly Harnrey gets an epithany... "let me ask around to see if that is indeed such a creature's tracks. may I see that drawing, please"
 

Houwlou Groulenas

Houwlou's hackles begin to rise as Harnry talks of needing a second opinion regarding the tracks. "Um, Excuse Me, Harnry! I am a RANGER!!! I think I know the tracks of beasts common to this area, and I am SURE that I can recognize the tracks of a gnoll! After all, gnolls are the sworn enemies of my Olcán people."
