Thorn also does not escape injury, though his is but a flesh wound.<\/li>\n<li>In the temple, Arn, Brum and Finn proceed into a wide basement area that appears to serve as a library. Luck is with them as they quickly locate the map that they are looking for; the two mages also spend a few extra minutes grabbing scrolls of varying types while Brum loots the room of silver platters and candlestick holders. They exit the temple.<\/li>\n<li>Zistral investigates the holding pen that the manticore was held in.<\/li>\n<li>As Lan-Fan and Thorn prepare to exit the jail area, they discover that it is surrounded by more gnolls who appear to be led by a minotaur. The two go to the roof, intending on sneaking around them. As Thorn lunges out of hiding, he is seen \u2026 and then hit with a sleep spell from a gnoll caster that he had not seen before. The elf topples, unconscious&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>Observing the gathering of gnolls surrounding the jail, Arn, Brum and Finn sneak forward and quickly hash out a rudimentary plan: Brum will seek to draw the minotaur away from the jail while the other two figure out a way to assist Thorn. Finn takes a few seconds to weave a message to Zistral, asking the centaur to make haste to join this mess, then casts a distant blow against the minotaur as it advances toward Brum. To both Brum and Finn\u2019s surprise and confusion, Arn then erects a force wall between them and the beast.<\/li>\n<li>Lan-Fan rushes to Thorn\u2019s side just as a pair of gnolls climb up onto the wall. She kicks the unconscious half-elf before charging one of the beasts. The other creature threatens to kill Thorn if she does not surrender, seemingly unaware that Thorn has regained consciousness&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><strong>Player Notes:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>CommJunkee continued as GM for this adventure arc.<\/li>\n<li>Loki was out again this session but Andricus, then Gigermann ran her character.<\/li>\n<li>Since we\u2019re livestreaming our games every Saturdays (6:00PM Eastern) at our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.twitch.tv\/olympusrpg\">Olympus Twitch<\/a> channel and then later uploading the stream on the YouTube channel, we\u2019ve decided to dial back on the extensiveness of the recap to just the overall outline.
