Meeting Old Gren
The Grey Company leaves Verge early in the morning to head to Northolt a few hours north along the Threshold road to find Old Gren, the ranger and guide that Griffin had procured. It was another good day for traveling, though it was considerably hotter than it had been recently.Heading to Northolt to find Old Gren |
They arrived, tired and sweaty, at Old Gren's place and he quickly got the expedition underway, explaining a few things about their path across Brokeneck Gap, Gnolls, the valley and his best thoughts to get through as quickly as possible. He also shared his "Gnoll Hunting Ponchos," which turned out to be large canvas blankets with head holes cut into them. They were dirty and smelled like rotting, dead animals. "It's Gnoll stink," the old ranger shared.

Difficult Decision
Draven used his divine magic to fix the youngster up while Remar called upon his healing magic to tend to Wildfire, Griffin's wounded horse. Despite the fact that the horses wounds were healed, it was evident that the beast had suffered a crippling injury (lasting crippling injury) and would have to be put down. Old Gren was adamant that the horse could not continue or go back down the mountain without serious ramifications on the progress of the mission but suggested leaving the horse alive on the trail as bait for any possible other predators on the mountain. This suggestion caused much turmoil in the party as folks began arguing the ethics and logic of the suggestion. In the end, Griffin made the decision to leave Wildfire alive on the trail and everyone accepted his decision.Wildfire is wounded |
Heavy-hearted, the Company, now a second mount short, continued as quickly as they could up the trail.
