Remember the Cavindale! (As his betters, i think we have a duty to help him)

Kelkan

"I would suggest moving along immediately companions! The other gnolls may be alerted by the sudden stop of the drums. As we have many strong arms here, lets some of us pick up the bodies and hurry away with them. We should make good timing, moving some minutes away into the woods before breaking directions suddenly and then start covering our trail."

Kelkan says that as he tries his best to get the fallen dagger of the shaman and any other stray, useful looking objects and heading his own advice, marching into the woods.

Swift

"Fine. If the young one is not in immediate danger, we had better get going." Swift takes one of the bodies and prepares to move into the forest.

solomon drops the boy gently to be tended too, he appears alright, just very, very drowsy.

the shamans body has a wand on it, and a masterwork dagger is at his hip, with many jewels in its hilt.

at the elfs head, on the sacrificial stone table is a small map, with many foriegn markings....

(which woods are you heading into? ahead, back towards gnolls? towards volcano? the thin strip between you and the beach?)

Swift

Swift takes note of the map on the sacrafical table, delaying his mocement into the woods. Any details about the map? That might be interesting.

 

[alsih2o]

with 2 natural 20's on checks swift quickly figures out that it is a map of this end of the island, he sees the volcano, a blot for the gnoll camp, the shoreline and a mysterious red squiggle almost to the top of the volcano rim.

Swift

"I believe my vast intelect may have saved us again my friends, I have found some odd marking around the rim of the volcano, I think that may be important to our escape. We had best secure a safe place for the young one, and go on to explore the rim."

OOC: Okay, why the hell did this thread *NEVER* show up on the first page, if everybody posted? I mean, I checked the forum daily and could have posted all the time ... Arrrgh!

IC:
After recovering his dagger (and finding the corpse stripped of valuables in the process) Jobis turns to the group:

"Did he have something on him? Let me see, I have some experience with such things!"

To the elf, who once again is is an obnoxious chipmunk he says acidly:

"Brilliant idea, really. Brilliant like shouting about in a gnoll forest. And besides, who put you in charge?"

"I agree with Kelkan, we should disappear from here and fast. Maybe someone could smooth over the tracks?"

OOC: He will leave as soon as the others do.

 

[Manzanita]

Solomonq

"Yes, lets get away from those gnolls, until we get a chance to regroup and make a plan." Solomon can carry 266 pounds & stay @30"move, so he'll take the box and the boy, unless someone suggests different.

Kelkan

"Someone, pick that map and lets head this way."

Kelkan, having picked whatever belongings may have fallen from the gnolls, and possibly the wand from the gnoll shaman. If no one objects to it, the disheveled halfling moves to the woods ahead, away from those many dangers already known to the wreckage companions and hoping not to find yet more tricky situations.

OOC: Since no one pointed in any direction yet, I'm choosing.

 

[Macbeth]

Swift

"Wait, halfling, I said that there's a marking on this map that may be important, were you not listening? I say we move towards the volcanoe's rim."
