20/05/300 - Having dealt with the gnolls the party headed to a nearby guard camp. Following recognition by the patrol commander, the party rested and helped with the watch.
In the middle of the night gnolls and undead attacked the camp. The remnants of the gnoll forces under the command of a cloaked human assaulted the party and their allies. When things began to take a turn for the worse, the necromancer fled.
21/05/300 - Heskan conducted a ceremony for the fallen guard from the night before, Elnorin scouted for tracks, Braith tended the animals and Ruric Ironfoot investigated Ashkeeper. On casting his spell, he awakened the spirit within and became bound to the weapon.
Elnorin tracked the necromancer north and the party followed.
They found the barrow of an Ice Giant and it's fallen servants. Waccarhild, the necromancer, explained she worked for an organisation called The Cabal and extended an offer of membership. A brief fight ensued and, following the destruction of most of her undead (including a giant skeleton) she fled.
Eventually they cornered her and, exhaunted, she was slain by Ruric with Ashkeeper. She turned to ash, along with her belongings, and were absorbed into the axe. This caused more than a little concern from the other members of the party.
