The lizardfolk's main concern, at the moment, was one of protection - the conflicts their former leader had led them into had drained their military might through attrition, and some of their best warriors had abandoned them upon his death. Coupled with making a lot of enemies in the process, while they had a naturally defensible location, especially in the winter, they were vulnerable until they could bring their numbers up.<br/><br/>Heading south east (J6), they spent the day trekking through the light forest, searching and exploring. There were signs of troll activity, mostly in the form of large claw marks left on tress, or trees shoved aside by huge, brutish hands. Akiros quickly noticed these signs, along with others, and identified that they all seemed to be heading to and from areas to the west, mostly along the south. (Indicating somewhere along the border of J and K, to the west.) They seemed to be raiding in this direction, then returning to somewhere to the west.<br/><br/>As they bed down that evening, though, their sleep is suddenly interrupted late in the night, by the sounds of crashing lumber, rapid gunfire, and an elven woman screaming as loudly as she could to get their attention - and then in pain!
