narrating, into something a bit more interactive. Something the heroes can somewhat influence the outcome of. Anyway. Here's an image of Gwillyth robbing the estate.

Love the note about gnoll names having been translated from the gnolls' language.

GNOLLS
The following gnoll dastards can be added to combat encounters.
(Note: all names have been translated into Caelian from their
original tongue.)
¥ Eat Eat Eat: A gnoll who never stops growing. The more he eats, the
more he grows. The more he grows, the more he eats.
¥ Goobak Tickhive: Host to a swarm of distended abyssal ticks that
infuse them with malefic strength, Tickhive perpetually thirsts for
blood to feed their parasitic hitchhikers.
¥ Grandmother Garg: A withered gnoll mage that has survived an
impossibly long time, preferring to let her food prepare itself.
¥ Ogron Bale-Gaze: Ogron has the misfortune, or blessing depending
on who’s asking, to house a nascent bale eye in his skull. The demon
causes him immense pain, and he can only alleviate that pain by
inflicting it on others.
¥ Slarg Neckslicer: Vicious and cruel, wielding a razor-sharp, hooked
knife, Slarg slinks from shadow to shadow hoping to cull the
weakest prey.
¥ Yeepa Mangepelt: Yeepa suffers from an abyssal mange that has
caused her to claw off all her skin. She wants someone else’s now.

Challenge Mode, not for the faint of heart, but greatly rewarded

Challenge Mode
Want to test the heroes’ mettle and the players’ wits? Play the
delve in challenge mode with the following adjustments:
¥
Treat each encounter as if there was one additional hero in
the party.
¥
Whenever a creature would be reduced to 0 Stamina, you can
spend 2 Malice to have them survive with 1 Stamina instead. The
Malice cost increases by 1 each time you use this feature on the
same creature.
The heroes can always choose to stop playing challenge mode
when the going gets tough. However, if a hero successfully
completes at least five delves in challenge mode, they now have
the title Steel Delver—Your number of Recoveries increases by 3.
