"Oh it's you!" Hobnob said as he looked up from the gnoll corpse he and his crew were beating into paste with hammers and wrenches at the new arrivals "I doubt the corpses have escaped your notice. We were driving some coyotes away from the traps we placed on the bridge when we heard a scuffle over here. As it turned out, this gnoll got the drop on Leo. But we managed to get the drop on the gnoll and brutally avenged our dead darkslayer". The rest of Hobnob's remaining crew looked up from the gnoll. The more enthusiastic of them were covered in gnoll blood. Most of them had scratch marks left by the coyotes, none of which were serious. "We've set up an ambush for the bandits at the bridge" Hobnob said "And now that you're here, there will be no stopping our victory! It's right this way, follow us".

With that said, Hobnob and his crew began walking back to the bridge. Those who chose to follow them would find the path they took littered with coyote corpses that were either beaten to death, riddled with bullets, or a little bit of both.
