HIGHLANDER'S REALM ("D&D" FORUM RPG)

Your summon had been burst.

-----Turn 10-----
Agnelia, with her new henchmen froggmin, begins tailing the Gnolls, hoping to get something to eat out of the deal. Perhaps Froggmin can't jump straight to being in control, maybe the minion gig will be beneficial training before acquiring his OWN underlings...

During the hours long forced march, Leara and Aldus finally collapse from exhaustion once more. With no threat to their life detected by the gnolls, they simply put them in the back of the cart they were dragging with the supplies. The children are also tossed back there, as the mother's tear-stained face looks weary, Chloe wishes she could heal more than wounds. Chloe herself is about to collapse before a gnoll keepsher up. Chloe looks to the caravan, signaling she's about to faint too, but the gnoll simply smiles sadistically and slings her over his shoulder. Chloe grunts as she's being picked up, and the Gnoll's grasp is rough. After another few hours, a plateau is seen in the distance, with an apparent cave entrance. There are a few tents on the outside made of some animal pelts, with what appears to be guards, though there seems to be a little too many of them. Eventually the caravan remains are dragged to the front, and many gnolls begin to unload it and lift things in the cave. Chloe is barely conscious while being roughly carried by the Gnoll as she sees Aldus, Leara, and the caravan survivors being bunched up and forced into the cave, with Leara and Aldus having regained consciousness just barely. The gnoll Carrying Chloe doesn't put her down, he simply
walks with the rest of the group as a guard.
Agnelia spies the entrance and stays a safe distance away nas she sees everything getting loaded into the cave.

Enna gives up the chase and heads back to find the road again. It seems the Gnolls also had given up and returned to the rest of the pack, as heir tracks loop around. She manages to get to town after a few hours, and all is not well. She knows she is not in danger of being perceived a threat, but the gate is closed and the guards on the palisade seem on edge. After a short exchange she is allowed entrance and enter the town. The town is surprisingly quiet on the inside, with the town hall seemingly full and the tavern surprisingly empty-looking for dusk.


Meanwhile, in the tunnel, the troop is lead through a straight hallway that splits into four more hallways, each labeled with wooden signs you cannot read. The Gnolls carrying the caravan cargo go down the right path while the Gnolls guiding the troop and the Gnoll carrying Chloe go down the left. After passing what seems to be a kitchen and a crafting area, the troop is thrown into a small, empty room with a door on the other side. The gnolls leave and the gnoll that carried Chloe shuts the door behind him, but not without staring at Chloe, who is very unsettled.


"Why do you wish to help with the evaluation of the slaves?" A Gnoll female, one of a rare and powerful breed, asks another rather dwarfish looking Gnoll male.
"Well, I must find my place among the tribe or be cast out, yes?" He replies.
"I must find my use somewhere."
"I thought you'd start with the patrols, at least. Ah well, just remember you get no second chances. You fail in this, you try something else so long as you give me a reason to believe you can. Now, let's get this started, they should be in the room. Size up their strengths and which ones aren't worth keeping. Hopefully the latter are rather delicious, ehehehe..."
The two enter the room and Patchi, the male Gnoll, looks around. He fisrt spies the two children, a young boy and a young girl with what he assumes to be their mother holding them, looking fearfully at him. The look upsets him slightly and he shifts is view to three men of varying ages. One appears to be very fit and young, the other two hardened middle-aged men who would expire in a few years of forced labor... Patchi conceals a shudder and moves on the last three, one human with a hair color he never knew even existed, another man who looks young physically barring his hair, and a drow elf. He gains a quick flashback to when a group of dark elves tortured him and his family through constant painful tricks, traps, and general mischief, which ended with his surrogate father's death. They eventually stopped, but this flashback sends a shiver up Patchi's spine. He shakes it off, and sees that Yalvota, the female Gnoll Flint, had already summed up the slaves and is looking at him.
"So, give me your report." she says coldly.

The troop notices the door on the other end of the room open and two Gnolls step in. One tall, imposing one with a whip and bone sword on her belt, and a very short, very broad male with a short looking blade. They look at the rest of the room carefully, until the tall one looks at the short one and says something harshly in their language.

END NOTE: Enna is now officially detached from the party's current effort, and her turn will go on separately from everyone else, until such time as she might reconvene with the party. However I won't let her get more than a day in-game time ahead of everyone else.

Even though Agnelia is a girl, I think it's fine you keep referring to her as a boy, considering elves are notoriously androgynous.

by "The Troop" I meant you three and the caravan guards, who are all currently within the Gnoll Warrens and being looked over by two Gnolls, the female and Patchi who is CAVE_HYENA.
CAVE_DOG

So right now it's merely your role-play in this situation.
