The gnoll manages to lurch clear of the first attack, but the second slips under its arm and bite deep. It gasps a gurgling laugh before crumpling to the ground. 

Alkyn turns to Six as he retrieves and cleans his dagger quickly, "Ashanti leapt into a pond to escape a giant hyena..." he pauses.

"OK, that sounds weird...but she may be in danger. Follow me!"

With that, he runs off back down the path...pausing to be sure at least one other person is following.

(Mobile)

Six quickly follows Alkyn back down the path.

You burst on the scene at the pool as Ashanti emerges from the water, spraying droplets everywhere. 

Tristan runs after the pair as well

 " All good?"

" I've got dinner."

Six stops, turns to narrow his eyes at Alkyn. "She seems fine to me," he points out, gesturing towards Ashanti. "We were attacked by gnolls," he adds, to her, making a face.

 " Really big Hyena here, but I scared him off. Also I have a dagger and shellfish. See!". she said brightly holding out the ball of water to Six.

"Oh, excellent finds," Six approves, peering into the ball of water curiously. "Hopefully the hyena doesn't come back."

 " I don't think so...he looked pretty traumatised..."

"If he does, I am sure your shellfish will scare it off" Tristan says with a wink

Alkyn looks relieved, and retrieves the rabbits from behind the log where he dropped them.

You retrieve your various foodstuffs and assemble back on the hilltop with Sinsil, who is finishing off her ritual. The horses neigh and shift anxiously, their eyes still darting around with fear. The sky is beginning to darken, with shades of red and orange and a blustery wind is blowing from the north. 

Sinsil sends her servant to start prepping a fire and goes to greet the others. "That was certainly inconvenient. Anything interesting from the hunt?"

" Rabbits, Crayfish...water..."

" Oh, and I found this dagger for you, Sinsil."

:"I'll take first watch."

Sinsil snatches up the dagger with an eager gleam in her eye, she pulls the pearl from her pocket and begins casting identify

Alkyn watches the interaction between Ashanti and Sinsil, curious, then frowns slightly before remembering the bodies and turning away.

"Waste not, want not, my mother always used to say". He nods to Six, "We should move them -- and search them" he says, looking at the bodies.

He begins a systematic search of the bodies,  hopefully with some help, then drags the bodies and throws them over the cliff edge.

Perception/Search (rolled advantage): 21

Tristan helps dubiously, mostly trying to make sure Alkyn doesn't eat them.

Six helps as well, saying a quiet prayer over them before they are thrown over the cliff.
