So, I type in “gnoll” into the search engine and let it find what the official designers have done. Yes, I could design my own but, when you get down to it, I’m much happier running sessions than designing monsters. I’m a subscriber to Wizards’ D&D Insider, so finding them in the Adventure Tools/Monster Builder is pretty simple. Preparing for these sessions has mostly consisted of looking for appropriate stat blocks.

It brought them into a room where demonic gnolls waited on guard. One door from the room they were in led to an empty room that had held the skeletons they’d just fought and, as the group didn’t search for secret doors, that just left one door left to go through. They’d just discovered a priestess examining some artefacts which the group recognised as being part of the cult of Tharizdun, and they were unsure of what else they would find. My Greyhawk 4E campaign continued on Friday with the group continuing to explore the ruined Moathouse near the Village of Hommlet.
