[QUOTE="Silver Moon, post: 1210377, member: 8530"] [b]Game #5 - 11/02/03[/b] [B]Chapter 15, “Gnoll Punishment,” September 13th, 1019, 1:30 P.M. [/B] The chimpanzee points to himself and says “Al-ton, Sil-Ver-Moon”. The gnome points to himself and replies, “Dragon Stalker.” Alton motions him over to the corner. They both realize that any of the six gnoll archers atop the yoke building could turn around and spot them, so both reapply invisibility on themselves. Meanwhile, some ninety feet lower on the beast, Cassie and Purge spot the gnome and chimp up above before they become invisible again. Cassie carves out a note on the stick, and instructs her familiar to “Bring to Alton”, casting her last Invisibility spell onto the owl, and motions to where Alton is at. Cassie opens the bag to inform the others that Alton is nearby, and that owl has gone to get him. “Is the owl smart enough to find him?” Narg asks. Cassie replies “Deanna is smarter than most of the party, including Alton.” Mojo suggests, “Then why don’t we elect her party leader.” Back up beside the buildings, Alton and Grelmak converse. Alton asks the gnome if he has seen any other Silver Moon members. “They’re not with you?” the gnome comments. Alton says, “No, they went off and left me behind. I’m trying to find them.” Grelmak replies, “Welcome to the club. My group abandoned me here almost a day ago.” “What have you discovered since then?” Alton asks. The gnome replies, “Nothing, I’ve been staying in hiding. It wasn’t until I heard you going right by me that I left my hiding spot. I was curious who else was using invisibility but making a ton of noise.” Alton replies, “Sorry, I’m not a thief.” “No you’re a talking money.” Grelmak states. Alton replies, “I’m actually a druid in monkey form.” The gnome comments, “A druid? With the Silver Moon. Ah, you’re Serita?” “NO, NO, NO!” Alton exclaims, adding “I’m actually a tall human named Alton.” “I don’t think I’ve met you before,” the gnome comments. The owl returns to Cassie and communicates to her that there are two small creatures but neither smells like Alton. Cassie explains to here that Alton is in chimpanzee form, and sends the owl back with the message. Alton explains to Grelmak that they ran into the other members of the Dragon Stalkers, and that the mage is permanently dead. The gnome exlaims, “Damn! He owes me money!” “Isn’t that always the case,” Alton comments. The owl then lands on the chimps shoulder and hands him the stick. “Hold on, mail call,” Alton states, and feels the carvings. “Huh?” the gnome asks. Alton replies, “What’s the matter. Can’t you see the invisible owl sitting on my shoulder?” Just then the party is distracted by the sight of a gnoll falling to the ground from somewhere near the Head Howdad. Cassie gets upset that there was nothing she could have done to prevent it, not having seen the gnoll until he was already halfway to the ground. They then notice activity in all of the other buildings, as each crow’s nest is now filling up with gnolls. The gnolls in the other buildings begin to chant out the gnoll word for “Punish”. Narg asks, “What’s going on out there?” “I think they’re going to kill the druid,” Cassie comments to Narg in the Halfling language. Mojo adds, “We’d better not tell Fido, he might get upset.” Cassie and Purge can now tell that something is happening in the building that they are near, but they are at such a sharp angle down from it that they are unable to make out exactly what. They see the back of the heads of one red-skinned gith standing near the edge fifty feet above them. . Higher up on the beast, Alton and Grelmak have an excellent view of he festivities, as they see the Yoke Howdad now has atop it all five giths, two holding a gnoll, and a non-gnoll dog-faced being wearing robes. The robed dog-man gestures to the gnolls on the other buildings who begin to chant "Yeenoghu, Yeenoghu!" "What's a Yeenoghu?" Grelmak asks. Alton answers, "I think it's either the name of the gnoll god or type of Oriental food served over rice." The gnome says, "I don't see any rice. Must be the god." Two of the large red-skinned giths pull on each of the gnoll's arms. The yellow-skinned gith with the sword picks up a bucket of liquid and splashes it over the gnoll. The Yeenoghu creature then yells out in Gnollish, "This is the fate that awaits those who betray me." He gestures to the other red-skinned gith, standing on the opposite side of the crow's nest. The gith breathes out a cone of flames, causing the gnoll druid to ignite in flames, the liquid having been flammable. The two red-skinned giths holding him then throw the flaming gnoll off and away from the beast, with him falling to the forest below. At the sight of the flaming druid falling Serita yells into the bag, "Narg, Give me the Belt"" He takes off the Belt of Shape Change and hands it out of the bag to her, but by the time she places it on it is too late, the druid having already fallen below the tree line to his presumed death. Cassie looses her temper at not having had a chance to rescue him, and lets out a round of curses. "What happened?" Mojo asks. Purge replies, "The druid just did his impersonation of a shooting star." The gnoll druid apprentice Nahmi does not hear that, being totally pre-occupied and shocked at Narg's transformation from a gnoll into a half-elf. "You tricked me!" He exclaims. Narg replies, "Sorry, didn't mean to. Seemed safer to travel around here as a gnoll. This is the real me." Outside of the Bag, Alton and Grelmak arrive where Cassie and Purge are, having been led there by the owl. The four briefly bring each other up to speed as to what has been going on, stating that the giths and Yeenoghu went back inside the Yoke Howdad, which now has six gnolls guarding the crow's nest again. Most of the gnolls in the other buildings have also gone back inside, and there are no more alarms. The party members inside the bag are informed of what is going on. Narg tells them, "It sounds like the leaders are all in that building. Get me inside and I'll take it from there." [/QUOTE]
