	The party traveled back to ~~Romack~~. Seeing as how only a single smithy in the town survived, and the rest is full of numerous tents. The party quickly entered the cave where the previous expeditions encountered Gnolls. The party pressed forward and immediately triggered a trap. The trap itself was magical in nature. The resulting battle was quite difficult, as the numerous gnolls attacked the party and were VERY accurate. The party successfully defeated them, clearing the first room. The party then tended their wounds, while Hiromi, Snicket, and Tesa dragged the corpses outside of the cave. After some time, the party regrouped and explored the cave system some more. They encountered the sleeping area for the gnolls. Then proceeded down another path and found a pack of gnolls mining. Luckily the mining sound, distracted most of the gnolls. As the party engaged what looked to be a spellcasting gnoll and another guard. The two gnolls were defeated, unfortunately Tesa did not survive the encounter. The party retrieved what they could, bringing the corpses outside, and Hiromi cremated the gnoll corpses. However upon doing so discovered their fiendish corruption, which would explain their strange behavior.		The party traveled back to Rommack.

			As we headed back down the elevator to the depths of Rommack, we passed by both the usual timbershrooms and crystals, but it also seems the people are finally starting up their farms. I wish them the best of luck in that endeavor.

			The goal was to head to the gnoll stronghold and clear it out. A simple job, barring the usual complications of navigating Rommack. Along the way Satori tripped over a small bag of gold, 20 in total, and aside from that and a brief fight with another chimera, this one sporting a green dragon head, it was an unremarkable trip. We also fought a couple of larger gnolls, but they were of little note aside for their hatred of Satori specifically.

			The real meat of our trip was arriving at the stronghold. Its walls stood tall and sturdy, the people of the nearby area would very much find use for a defensible position like this. Thankfully the gnolls, for all their building expertise, lacked the insight to actually put sentries up on those walls. As we prepared to breach, Satori climbed the walls to scout it out. They were conducting a ritual inside, a potent abyssal pact of some sort to summon a demon. They spotted him, and he alerted us to the situation. Hurrying through the front door, we found a large gnoll standing over four executed gnolls, drained of their blood for use in the ritual. There was also a gnoll demonologist and an Antipaladin, alongside four cultists who died to summon a Hezrou, a powerful toad-like demon. The large gnoll runs at the sight of me, and as the Hezrou attempts to unleash chaotic energy on our group, only Gwen is hurt by this display. It simply wasn't powerful enough to wound me, though it does concern me about some of the others. Except Illiam, that part doesn't surprise me.

			The disgusting air of the Hezrou was another issue for the others that wasn't for me, as I met the demon head-on with intent to gut it for its offensive existence. Satori flanked the spellcaster while Grist moved to assist with both the demonologist and antipaladin. Tuli maneuvered around for a good angle and got some very good shots off, but eventually got trapped in a sphere of some kind for almost the rest of the fight by the demonologist. Gwen stayed back, letting her Eilodon and undead summons, including a giant corpse dog of some sort, help kill the spellcaster then surround the Antipaladin.

			In the meantime, I wore down the demon as much as I could, but as soon as it saw Illiam heal me it teleported to them and brought them down with a single powerful bite. Satori rushed to draw its attention, giving me the opportunity to move past and both heal Illiam and reclaim its attention. Illiam teleported away and decapitates the demonologist, then helped Tuli break out. Once the demon's life comes close to an end it attempts to kill Gwen before death. I'm able to stop it just short of bringing the necromancer down, impaling it through the chest and killing it. Thanks to demon summoning rituals summoning the entire demon and not just a manifestation, that Hezrou is permanently dead. Good riddance.

			While I deal with the large gnoll, which apparently has the ability to throw acid from its axe and enchant it with such magic at the same time, the others gang up on the Antipaladin. Satori disarms it knocks it down, where Illiam then decapitates that one too. Their obsession with decapitating gnolls is becoming worrisome.

			That aside, the stronghold has been cleared of enemies. I wish the people there the best of luck in securing the location, as it is well fortified and will serve well, provided they actually make use of sentries.

	Following one of the merchant's lead, we prepared and traveled to the nearby cavern giant camp. We came across a run down cabin, but it seemed that the cabin was abandoned to time rather than from any sort of attack. We eventually reached the mouth of the giant's cave and watched as the one on guard seemed to be summoned back into the cavern. We set up our ambush at the mouth of the cave and strike, killing one of the giants before the rest retreat into their home. We were forced to push our way in and after a rather rough fight, we were able to clear them out. The cave was covered in blood by the end. I'm going home.
