After resting up, the party searched the bodies of the gnolls and slain ibex. The ibex was wearing a necklace of some sort which gave us the impression that it might actually be an awakened animal. We took the necklace and continued on to herbivore territory.

Upon arriving we met with the leader, an elephant named ???. She told a group called the Wicked Hunt had been hunting animals indiscriminately and asked us to find and confront them. She suggested we talk to Parvaz, the leader of the carnivores, to track down the Hunt. When we showed her the necklace taken from the slain ibex she recognized it immediately and told us he had been a skilled storyteller and valued member of the community.

We hiked into carnivore territory which was centered on a sharp mountain peak called Razortooth Rock. Parvaz seemed unconcerned about the killings as they were mostly focused on the herbivores. His philosophy was "When you're hungry, meat is meat." He suggested we speak to the leader of the flying animals, a giant eagle named ???

Upon arriving at the flyers' territory, we learned the leader was away at a meeting with some other animals. We followed their directions and eventually found the eagle and caught his attention.

The eagle also seemed unconcerned about the Wicked Hunt but was able to direct us toward their camp. He also gave clear directions to find the portal. It was located in a pool near a ruin guarded by a gigantic statue with glowing eyes.

The party spent the night (long rest) and headed out in the morning. We found the camp in the early afternoon. We faced off against a group of gnolls and defeated them without difficulty. They also had a caged triceratops which was loosed mid-battle and trampled Umbra. The party hid in the cage and the triceratops eventually charged off into the woods.

We returned to the herbivores to report our success. The leader gifted us with a magical statuette that could turn into an animal. We returned the ibex's necklace to their next of kin, then headed back to the central area. We met back up with Razzak, the three-toed sloth. As a reward for dealing with the Wicked Hunt he gifted the party a ring of protection +1.

Next we found the portal and described it to the mimir. We also spoke with the statue, who claimed to be a guardian of the portal.

Misson complete! We decided to visit Glorium next. The party levels up to 7th level.
