Objectives of Who's the Fairest of Them Gnoll?
1. Find your way onto Gnoll Island
2. Learn the password to the Gnoll Island gate
It turned out the door to the gnoll settlement was closed shut. The gnoll doorman confused Yaga with some Mer’Kha and urged her, or rather him, to get back to cleaning the outhouse. He also requested a password, refusing to open the door otherwise.
That Marek seemed like the only way for Yaga to get the password. To the outhouse, she went.
3. Get inside Gnoll Island
Concluding the outhouse business sure came as a relief. Yaga’s outstanding rhetoric granted her the password. It was time for her to try to fool the guardian at the gate.
4. Find Hunky
It is not for me to judge which of the tasks proved more difficult: getting in or getting through. It was for Yaga to find this out as she faced the unrelenting resistance of the gnoll horde. As she powered through the settlement, it was becoming ever clearer that rescuing Hunky would not be a walk in the park.
5. Get Hunky
There he was. All that remained to do was to grab the Bobok and escape.
6. Escape!
Things did not turn out as planned. The gnolls had quite enough time to come up with a plan to stop Yaga in her tracks. As she tried to reach Hunky, a stunning blow came from behind.
She found herself locked in a cage. It was now apparent that not only she had to free Hunky, but first and foremost herself.
7. Get your bow back
Sh’Neh Kha, the fearsome gnoll leader or maybe the pale-skinned girl, stood on the way to freedom, hers and Hunky’s. Not only was the gnoll unwilling to part with “prince Hunky” but also rather discontent with Yaga’s intrusion.
Or, for that matter, Yaga’s very existence. And if she wanted to keep up said existence, she needed to defeat Sh’Neh Kha. And that she would not likely achieve without her trusty bow.
8. Defeat Sh’Neh Kha
9. Free Hunky
Sh’Neh Kha lay defeated. With the fierce gnoll leader incapacitated, nothing was stopping Yaga from rescuing Hunky the Bobok.
10. Take Hunky back to Spy
The Bobok’s condition was leaving a lot to be desired. “Prince Hunky” did not welcome being rescued, while the original Hunky, buried beneath the Roots’ madness, would rather welcome the sweet release of death. Still, Yaga chose to stay loyal to Spy’s request and took Hunky with her.
11. Finish Hunky
Deciding the fate of the possessed Bobok was no trivial matter, but the whole endeavor was now concluded. The horrifying, mind-twisting effects of the Roots were on full display, and Yaga had a chance to make up her mind on the value of life itself.
Or, at the very least, on the life of a Bobok – whatever that says about her general outlooks.
