Troff Legion Captain Romulus came across the remains of the Damaran refugee camp during his daily patrol. Entering the old Gypsy Camp via the Spider Woods, he explored the whole camp and valley, finding nothing new or unusual. Only after exiting out through the pass to the east did he spot the burning ruins of the refugee camp outside the fence.
Two Gali (without arms displayed) were guarding the road. A couple armed soldiers were standing around the remains of the camp and a child was wandering around. Several bodies were piled in a heap by the side of the road, and three fresh graves already marked with gravestones were farther to the east near where the Damaran noble's retinue used to be camped. Blackened and burned spots were visible across the road to the north.
Romulus questioned the guards about what happened, and was told that gnolls had attacked in the middle of the night. Pledging to do something about it, the Legion Captain made his way to Peltarch to seek assistance. In the Commons, he recruited Gnarl, Lycka, and Leena to help him. Together, they entered the gnoll woods and fought their way through the narrow cliff passage, slaying dozens of gnolls in the process. Sirion joined them half way through. The remains of a dead human were found in a clearing midway through the pass.
After crossing through the lower portion of the woods all the way to the west, Romulus led them south into the Gypsy Camp. The others gasped in horrow when they arrived at the entrance to the pass and saw the devastation left by the gnolls. Lycka suggested that perhaps the Damaran refugees could move into the settlements like Norwick and Peltarch rather than remaining camped in the wild where attacks like this, alas, cannot always be prevented.
