We leave Kormul. It was kind of dreary.
After a few hours, we think we can hear drums. They become more distinct, and definitely drums. And then we hear some horns. It sounds like an army troop! We go around a bend, and see a group of people running, running for all they are worth, and a great dust cloud behind them. We can hear yipping, and it sounds familiar. We see some gnolls, and some creatures that look like what I've heard called hyenas. I've heard they laugh, but I can't hear that over the yipping, drums and horns. I also see monsters - they look like a giant mouth, and not much more.
They are shooting arrows at the people, but miss many of their shots. Some people fall, but the ones that are not hurt (and one that got shot and is still running!) keep running. It doesn't take long before they are past us, and we are the new targets. That is okay - we can take an arrow better than they could.
We manage to beat all of them. I mostly hung back and shot arrows - it feels kinda like I'm cheating, but traveling hurt sucks, and this way, they are less interested in Vorest.
We continue, and see a familiar wagon - it's Cedric's! Except - does it have a cloth pinned over the part that says Cedric? It does! It says Fibblestib. Though Fibblestib has the same voice as Cedric, and looks like he is wearing a child's disguise mustache. Curious.
