I like where this is going, so I’m going to roll on the wilderness table again, getting a 47, explorer. Apparently Analei has decided that it’s time to move on. She takes another level of ranger and puts the minimum number of points into the required skills, with the remaining three points going into Handle Animal (necessary if she wants to teach her companions a thing or three and to keep some semblance of order when the three are together).

She gets a new favored enemy, and given the area she is moving through, I think gnolls are a good choice. Her reputation increases by +2 (+1 for the background and +1 for her level), and she finally gets her first contact! I don’t have a use for it yet, so she’ll keep it undefined for the moment.

Feeling the wanderlust strike her once more, Analei bids her elven friends goodbye and moves on, Drey and Carak traveling with her. The travels are difficult at first, but Analei eventually (with the help of wild empathy and spells) manages to negotiate an uneasy peace between Drey and Carak. As they travel, Analei teaches both several tricks, both to make them more manageable and more valuable companions in a pinch.

Some encounters with savage gnolls in the Drachensgrab Hills teach her some new tactics against these humanoids. Orcs continue to present a constant threat, and the young rangeress hones her skills against these humanoids as well. Her wanderings carry her far from her home in the Free City of Greyhawk, into a world that she scarcely imagined might exist.
