Reported by Lord Illitor
Days after the slaying of the gnoll fang by Nimona, Layla, Olivia, Lieutenant Seery and I ventured back into the stronghold Layla has dubbed "the Pentagon." We quickly dealt with the handful of gnolls in the barracks, as they were half-asleep, unarmed but for their teeth, and demoralized.
Making our way through a long series of weapon racks, we found a handful of magic items, including a magic shield that I claimed for myself, and a longsword that we reserved for Dieterich but lent to Seery.
We then entered the room where we had fought the fang.
The gnolls were there in numbers, but they had no more casters among them. I fixed them in place with the spines of the earth, and Olivia blasted them with fire. A few blows from Layla and Seery saw to the rest.
Yet in the center of the great room, an enormous evil symbol was carved in the floor. It sucked in the blood of every beast we slew. As soon as the last of them fell, the blood ignited, and the floor melted away.
Demons spilled forth from the pit, a great harpy-like vretch flying into the air. I ordered a fighting withdrawal. Once again, I fixed most of the lesser foes in place, but the foul bird crashed into our line, and we were split in a fury of tumbling metal and slashing claws. Every one of us fought as best we could, but morale was breaking and we were on the edge of a rout. Then it released a violent, mind-breaking shriek, and I fell senseless to the ground.
When I came to, I expected death to be upon me. Instead, I saw Layla controlling the beast. It had turned its aggression on one of the weapon racks. Even as our party hacked and shot and blasted away at it, it tore at and clung to the rack, fighting it until we finally put the vrock down.
The other demons, pinned to the earth, were slaughtered.
We returned to Longreach. Seery went back to Redmoor, where he will presumably present an accurate report to Lady Vern.
Later, Olivia, Layla, Bernard and I returned and jumped into the pit. We found ourselves in some hellish prison populated by demons and part-fiend gnolls. After dealing with fierce resistance, we decided to leave while we had our full numbers and return only with a stronger force.

Caravan on Renard's Path attacked!
-Frog people from the swamps to the east have ransacked a caravan headed to Longreach. The members were kidnapped and are being held hostage. One person has been released and told us that the others were safe, though held in inhumane conditions. We are working on a solution to the issue. In the meantime remain cautious when leaving the town proper and anyone traveling Renard's path is required to have an escort of no less than 4 armed guards.
