Sokol Keep, though I have heard some rather ugly rumors about the gnoll leader.

He was in the process of strangling a robed gnoll in the crook of his big right arm.

Staff of Power, but like everything else in the gnoll village, they represented a grotesque permutation of what was natural and beautiful.

Then they heard scrambling noises as the dozen or so gnoll mates pushed and shoved their way out the door after him.
