The team waited for dawn and met up with Selwyn. He sketched out a map of the Black Peaks and the Foamfire Valley and told them roughly their travel plans. Not far out of town they found numerous horse tracks and made the assumption they belong to Golthar and the Iron Ring. After a day or so of travel, they began to hear drumming in the valley and the distant howls of gnoll packs. Selwyn presumed the gnolls are probably on the trail of the horsemen.
The group traveled through thick fog and came upon a burned out campsite recently destroyed. A trio of hunters had been there, their bodies dragged off into the fog. All the team was able to locate were their severed heads on pikes. Not too far in the distance they heard chanting from a gnoll and tried to sneak around. Coming through the fog was a horrific sight. A gaunt sallow-skinned dead man lumbered toward them. His mouth opened to reveal a maw of razor-like teeth, and a long rough tongue lolled forward as he screamed into the fog and dropped into a loping charge. Answering cries erupted around the team as more undead came ripping through misty landscape and hurling themselves into the party. Grozz was bitten and paralyzed while Katarina and Koehan unleashed magic missiles. Levi cut down one ghoul while Garadal finished off the one damaged by the spellcaster. More slavering monstrosities hurtled out of the fog toward them, though!
