Ethen finishes off Gnoll 4 with a well-placed arrow. Looking out the window, you can see the two 'escaped' officers lying in pools of their own blood not far outside. Their shouts have been noticed! Officers near the fallen pack lords are sending runners toward the drilling troops. It probably won't be more than a few minutes before a hundred gnolls or more surround the building...

Del was also looking out the door - can we see anything about the arrangement of the camp?
If he had time he'd ask the human about where the prisoners are - given the time crunch Del is going to cast based on the merest glance around
Del casts Plant Growth centered on the hut we are in everywhere within 100 feet is covered with thick overgrown weeds - it takes 4 feet of movement to advance each foot - except: the rectangle 5 foot beyond the hut, a 5 foot wide path to the prisoner area if he can detect one, and a very narrow spiral that leads to the back door, tending to channel anyone towards the back area

The human shakes his head at the request. "No prisoners. The ones they catches, they gives to the hags or turns into more gnolls. I think I'm the only not-gnoll left alive in the camp...for now. That one" --he nods toward gnoll number four-- "had a taste for me stew. Found me cookin' for the mayor of Greenbridge and kept me alive. Twouldn't have been for much longer, I thinks. Still might not be," he adds.
The building you are in has a fairly wide clearing around it. The door faces the larger clearing where drilling and training happens. There is a large fire pit, not too far from the door, but it isn't burning at the moment. Other buildings and tents border the open training area...which is covered by rapidly approaching gnolls. (Or not so rapidly, considering the plant growth.)

Del obliges on the hoop request, and adds We might be able to get you out of here. Where are we? he calls out Lord Quentin, Sir Ethen, keep an eye out the front side - these gnolls will be slowed but coming from all sides. If none need rescuing, we can be gone as soon as possible. Everyone, see if there is anything worth grabbing. There was a map on our Feylady's new pet - can we grab that, and any hoops or papers?
With the scary gnolls gone, the equally scary Flitterbug goes back to M's shoulder - still invisible - announcing It's me, Mindartis, is it safe to be here? You couldn't see but I made a big magic - I made those brutes hurt themselves with their tiny brains. Not as much as your sword did, but I helped!

His wand raised the young wizard is prepared to throw up a wall of force dome around them if the group can't quickly find another hoop for them.
Mindartis chortles a bit, "Good job little one. Now we need to get ready to get out of here."
Althaea runs over to where Terry the Table is and starts looking around for the map, along with anything else he might have had on him before his animation.
And your name, Brother Chef? Del adds, before responding to Q Thank you my Lord, but we can always use the hoop we came in on. Maybe you can have our young sister protégé practice by torching some buildings. No reason to be stealthy, and no innocents about according to our brother cook here

The table only had the map on it, but searching the gnoll chiefs would net you some glaives, longbows, and arrows if you want them. You can also get about350 gold by grabbing their coin pouches.
Outside you hear snarling gnolls hacking through thick vegetation...

"Unless we wish to fight here, I suggest we get back through a hoop." Raven mentions as she slips her sword back into its sheath. She moves around, gathering the coin purses from the dead, then nods to Dell. "I don't mind wittling down the gnolls, so we can do that if you wish, but I think we have more important things to be doing just now."
"Not sure how I even got here," says Wilf, gratefully rubbing his raw, but now unchained wrists. "I've seen nothing but gnolls, hags and hyenas for the last month."
(I forgot Flitterbug is already over Level 1. So, she goes up a level, and Ethen may as well, too. Cup might as well go straight to Level 3. :D Althaea is already on the same level as the party, I believe.)

Seems like no one feels the need to stick around - we can pass through hoop 3 again as soon as everyone is ready (the one we came from Z's field with). Maybe the wizards are firebolting a bit to burn some up some camp? But otherwise I think we are done. We bring Wilf along; the hoop is large, so we can bring Terry along as well, and whatever we can grab

Cup happily firebolts around, Q adding in his own when her's just isn't enough oomph, as she does her damaging spells seem to get better, a true pyromancer being born right before their eyes.
The rickety buildings and old tents go up in flames very easily, and the would-be attackers wrest themselves free of the shrubbery and start to engage the flames or run away. Before long, you see some of them returning with a heavy catapult. It seems like the best time to step back through the hoop that Del is holding up, and you immediately find yourselves back in the peaceful meadow of the Battle of Zanderfell's Tree. Wilf gapes in astonishment, and tears start to run down his face. "I never thought as I'd leave that awful place alive!" he sobs.

Ethen takes two shots at any remaining gnolls...
Attack: 23 Damage: 14
Attack: 29 Damage: 19
Is there anyone left for Raven to attack?
