They moved cautiously, with Tommi and Escella taking turns scouting forward, and Oh-Six buzzing in circles overhead. It was still before midday when they came to a northern branch of the Ardeep River. Recent rain (it was raining still) had swollen the river to dangerous crossings. There was only one safe ford that Escella knew, along an old trail that connected several of the Noble's old hunting lodges. The nearest of which belonged to the Phylund family, who had built a near fortress out of their lodge, fifty years ago, but had fallen on hard times. The lodge was still in use, Escella knew, but last she had seen was only a shadow of its former glory, with a small staff of servants for upkeep. The gnoll's camp, as understood by Helgrim, was close by, in the forest.[spoiler="Phylund Lodge Environs"][ATTACH=full]249167[/ATTACH][/spoiler][ooc]Map Key: Nandar Lodge is where you met Helgrim; Spring Cave is where Escella experienced her ordeal; Trade Way is the road to Waterdeep where Helgrim's caravan was attacked; Dancing Dell is a valley littered with ruins and standing stones; Lodge is Phylund Lodge; Ford is the best spot to cross the river; Gnoll Hunter's Camp is where Helgrim expects to find gnolls.[/ooc]</blockquote>
