The Sandy Knolls

We tracked our missing outriders to a village of hyenamen. We were approaching the village when we were beset by a hyenaman and a big hyena-ish dog. Gan called the hyenaman a kroshtuka. It didn't take us very long to kill him. He had a necklace of ears and had some finger food in his pocket -- as in fingers that he would eat.
 
I snuck up and shot a flaming arrow at one of the huts. I was spotted as I ran back to the group. A kroshtuka and a lucrata chased me. The lucrata had a hypnotic ability, but we didn't fall for it.
 
Then we went to the huts where we thought they were holding our companions. We were attacked by someone who claimed to be a follower (cleric) of Nothis -- the god of decay. She knocked me out, but Ham and Nat revived me, and we prevailed against our foe. We found where they were holding our companions. One had died, and the rest were in really bad shape, but we got away with the rest. We also found a map of the desert.
