A recap for Ash and Saladien is worth xp.
We finished up collecting everything and calming down the residents of the Sakor'akai town. We were then greeted by their leader. Haas told him we were friends and that Owt is not the enemy of the Sakor'akai. He also told him that they were now free and in charge of maintaining their continuous freedom since we were needed elsewhere. He thanked us and went back to the center of town with us to reunite with the mayor.
Once there, we found out from the owl spies that there were 5 encampments outside Owt holding down the siege of the town. They consisted of a Human/Elf group, 3 Kobold groups, and a mixed species group. The 3 Kobold camps held prisoners of Owt. We decided to take the Sakor'akai leader with us to parlay for prisoner release and their exodus of the town. Their leaders met with us (a Halfing general and Rosetree Elf wizard) and we demanded they release the prisoners and end the siege. They said they would confer with their leaders and get back to us in the morning.
We decided not to wait until morning and set off to liberate the prisoners of the camp on our own. We met with little to no resistance in 2 of the Kobold camps and rescued everyone there. Once we got to the third, it was abandoned. We went back to the leadership camp and they all left too.
Rom'pei used his "expert" tracking skills to find where the army marched off to (we followed the massive trail and crushed grass/trees alomg with thousands of footprints). We walked all night and caught up with them around 05:00. We again demanded the release of the prisoners. The general said he wanted nothing to do with us and released them to us. It was around this time that we received a sending telling us that the Gnoll army had arrived. The Gnolls moved quickly to surround the remaining army and set up camp so they couldn't escape.
We returned to Owt with all prisoners and met with the Gnoll general and his lieutenants (the remaining brothers from the Gnoll campaign). That's where we left off.
