Adventures of Ander An’Derson

Ander fails to land another blow as he stays on the defensive but the double team gets past his guard landing 3 blows to him. Now gravely wounded (2/6 HP) it may be best to retreat

Ander is able to quickly and easily break free from the gnoll but unfortunately Scython is right on his heals and appears to be trying to ride Ander down before he can get back to the wagon trains. The gnoll moves to mount up as well but you see him rush off in another direction.

You skilled horsmanship alllows you to lengthen your lead and the tiefling breaks pursuit cursing loudly as you ride into sight of the wagons. On th far side you note that the group of gnolls you originaly spotted are near the wagons, that have formed up into a deffensive circle, and look to be talking with them. Your rapid ride has been noticed and a few of the wagoneers and guards eye you questioningly as you get close. The wagons circle has the draft animals inside the circles, so they are sheltered from attack behind the wagon ahead of them, making it more of a spiral about 60 foot in diameter. All of the guards, scouts, and wagoneers look allert but not anxious as they chat and wait for things to get resolved with the wagontrain master and the gnolls.

You get the impressions the gnolls were a bit surprised, and annoyed, at your statement about the gnoll collaboration. Pontus thanks your for your warning and informs everyone not to allow Scython back but to get his horse from him if he returns. You wait out the remainder of the day and following night on high alert with bright torches and lanterns lit throughout.

In the morning another scout is given one of the horses and told to accompany you on a dawn patrol. You find track that indicate you were being watched much of the night but no sign of the gnolls or Scython. The wagons continue on their way and after another couple days you make it to the base.
