A Hedge Maze (Alia and Zokon Edition!)
Alak Dool (Str 11--a titan among wizards!) doesn't have floating disc memorized today. He can drag Zokon along (no Dex bonus to AC) at 5' round.
As the party rounds a bend Alia comes upon the body of human man she's met before. The old scars on his cruel face have been added to. His throat has been torn out and the rest of his body looks savaged as if by a wild animal. His battle axe lies beneath the far wall of thorns from where he fell.
↑ The dead man.
"Z-zokon? Is that y-you?" comes the Shepherd's shaky voice from around the next corner.
