The end of the battle is inevitable. The heroes swarm the demonic gnoll and his giant companion. The Warden slashed and attacked as if possessed by a ferocious demon. (It probably was...) Under curses of death from Yeenoghu's own fist, the Warden dies from Alexia's magical attacks, Rohna's glaive, the dark eldritch magic from Bellagon's wicked rod and Czern's relentless pounding with his hammer. The gnoll is essentially dismembered before it stops moving.
The giant's will breaks after the Warden falls, and he tries to make a break for it. Chael's rocks pelt the giant from behind, but they barely seem to slow it. Then Malehan's scimitar cut clean through its Achilles tendon as it fled, crippling the giant. Ted the giant's head smashed hard into the ground with the fall. Although it is initially uncertain if the giant survived the fall, Malehan finishes all question with swift chop through the vital aspects of the giants throat, appeasing his god's vengeance.
A quick review of the wooden fort would indicate that it is a new structure, but at least a month old. The gnolls and minotaurs lived in huts and squalor along the inside of the forts walls. Ted, evidently, slept and made camp behind the fort in the first part of the forest. It would seem, based on tracks, that besides the minotaurs and gnolls, there were several goblins present here in the palisade. None are present currently and you suspect they made for the forest at the first sign of the struggle. The question would be, were the goblins conspirators or prisoners?
There is no doubt that whatever forces were recently in play in Sharn used this as a forward outpost. Slaying the outpost's guardians will certainly affect there further operations.
Having now cleared the outpost, what would the heroes like to do?
