Gnolls live in tribes in the mountains, and traditionally have little interaction with humans. The last big war-pack incursion was several decades ago. The gnolls were savagely beaten and the remnants fled back into the mountains. Since then little has bee seen or heard of gnolls to the best of Jan's knowledge. The captive gnoll stares sullenly at Eban before answering. "Spirit man know where ..." he struggles a moment for the right word, "runaway pack are. Traitor pack."The small clearing around the house is fairly empty. Down by the stream there is a small open fireplace with a couple of logs around it. Behind the house there is a swing covered in moss. Surrounding the clearing is forest. The ground rises gradually from stream. There are a few rocky outcrops around the edges like the one that the gnolls were hiding behind while they kept watch on the house. Obscured in the fringes of the trees on the opposite side of the clearing to the stream there is the ruin of a small stable. It obviously has not been used in many years and is now little more than a empty shell.The house consists of three floors, the lower level is constructed in stone with a timber upper floor. Inside, the ground floor consists of the kitchen and living area, along with a small study. Upstairs consists of a number of bedrooms and a small bathroom. Downstairs is a reasonably sizeable cool stone basement. Heavy shelves line the walls and a heavy stone bench occupies and sizeable fire-pit occupy the centre of the room. Some of the contents of the shelves lies broken on the floor, but it seems some restraint has been shown in this room.Throughout the house doors have been forced open, windows broken and the rooms ransacked. Shelves have been swept clean, draws and wardrobes emptied, furniture overturned. Books, most of them scholarly, lie strewn across the floor. From the wreckage, it appears that Henri lives a fairly modest but comfortable life. It is also fairly obvious that a fair bit has been taken, especially food.[sblock=OOC]Good to be back. Hopefully this covers all the bases.[/sblock]</blockquote>
