The death of the gnoll warlord Kenport Bonechewer brought the gnoll calamity that had arisen in the Andmar Hills to the end it deserved, after a climactic home-swap battle.
For the little players, the good news was that the scattered, fleeing gnolls gave them a great opportunity to keep farming personal points. Baroness Mirian had also issued a strange quest: "Capture Living Supplies."
