Day Three, At Henri's House
The gnoll fights at first, struggling against his bonds and captors. Its futile, serving no purpose but to open a few wounds. Eventually he spills a rough set of directions. In essence, the camp is about a hour away to the north*.
Henri watches the proceedings, but makes no move to interfere. After Bayar and Sukri have extracted the information they want, Henri speak up.
"Thats up around the southern edge of the Blockstone hills. There are some old mines up that way. Its a bit wild up there."
He pauses, as if listening to someone.
"The men from the village are coming. They should be here in about 15 minutes."
If asked how he knows, he points to the hawk circling lazily above.
"Hella," he says.
Sure enough, a short while later the party hears the sound of dogs, then horses. Eventually 4 men on horseback crest the rise and canter down into the clearing. They are wear an assortment of simple armour and carry a motley collection of wooden shields and a simple weapons. As they draw closer, you see that Kovic makes up their number, as does the Sherif. There horses are lathered with sweat. One of them has two dogs attached to a long leash.
They shout with joy upon seeing Henri and the party alive. But the sight of the gnoll heads quietens them a bit.
[sblock=OOC]There was more detail in what the gnoll told the characters. But rather than describe a bunch of random stuff, I'll just incorporate it into the Find Camp Check modifiers - See OOC Thread.[/sblock]
[sblock=Bayar]To Bayar's practiced eye Kovic appears to be significantly comfortable with his weapons and armour than the others. He does not fidget trying to find a more comfortable position for his shield, or catch his weapons as he dismounts. He carries himself like one accustomed to many hours on a horse and kitted out for fighting.[/sblock]
