Wolf does the recap.
As we leave, Wolf pulls Roscoe aside. She goes back to talk with the cultists, says she just needed us out of the way. Roscoe insists on following her. Wolf’s proposal is to hire the cultists, to gather information.
She reveals that the elemental shenanigans are affecting the Feywild too, claiming she seeks to destroy the fire cult. In return for them writing down everything they know about the other cults, she’ll pay them. She hires them for 5 days; most of the Kenku aren’t interested.
They reconvene with the rest of us. Naivara becomes our ferry (thank you Blue.) On the way back to us, Wolf asks Roscoe about his laurels. She finds out he’s a branded slave to a satyr named Sybil. She can’t tell who Sybil really is, despite being from the Feywild. 
Wolf says she and Roscoe may have more in common than they think. Roscoe lets wolf read his thieves cant, but not the little black book he has on him.
When we go to leave the cave, there’s a figure standing at the mouth of it. It’s the drow wizard; he tells us that he warned us, and there will be retribution for this. Wolf is told who this guy is, considering she knows almost nothing (whoops).
We make our way to Rikeer. We have to teach him about hugs and handshakes. This will no doubt be a important lesson to bring back to his kind. Roscoe slaps him on the ass and says “Go team!” and he’s told this is an encouragement gesture. 
We continue to the shrine. Tobi summons Snowball, to carry unconscious birb. During travel, Naivara easily notices an ambush waiting in the rocks. She flies down to warn us. 
Gnoll ambush! 3 giant hyenas with gnoll riders, 2 regular gnolls, 1 pack lord. Roscoe tells everyone to back up. He hits one of the giant hyenas, misses second one.
Tobi tells Snowball to back up with the birdmen, moves up with Roscoe and holds his action. Naivara holds a dive attack. Ash aims for the same one Roscoe hit, does that good sneak damage. 
Snowball retreats off map. Rikeer stands behind Tobi and Roscoe. The mounted gnolls fire at Naivara twice and Rikeer once. The hyena gets in range, and Naivara dives at it- killing the gnoll on it!
The pack lord is just barely on map. Wolf slaps Roscoe (why?) and goes invisible. The regular gnolls are now on map. 
The 3 birds form a defensive line behind us. Toldar bravely runs away. Roscoe boops a hyena’s snoot very hard 4 times. Naivara kills a hyena! Tobi holds his action. Ash misses a hyena.
Rikeer holds the line.
A hyena misses Tobi, but his gnoll rider hits. Tobi misses both his attacks. Not using the cult weapons, every other weapon feels wrong. Roscoe feels this too, his fists are fine tho. Wolf critically wounds a gnoll rider. 
Rikeer kills a gnoll!! AN NPC KILLS A THING!!! We’re so proud. 
Wolf chaos bolts the pack lord. She also gets an opportunity attack on him (another chaos bolt). The pack lord tries to hit her but misses terribly. The regular gnolls also miss. Roscoe hits a hyena real hard on the snoot. Naivara dives at a hyena, and Tobi smites it to death.
Ash kills a gnoll! Rikeer kills a hyena! Wolf kills the pack lord- WILD SURGE.... but nothing happens :<. The remaining gnolls rush and we easily clean them up. Wolf finds 56 GP and a pearl while looting. None of the others have anything on them.
Wolf shoots Roscoe, he taches it and throws it back. Rikeer slaps us all on the ass. Tobi punches Roscoe because this is his fault, Roscoe collects the still-fleeing Toldar. We continue. 
We arrive at a secluded temple, surrounded by pools of water in this stone basing area. Hidden on the stone face, sits the temple itself. Roscoe, taking in this fantastic scenery.... pees off a cliff into one of the sacred pools. Tobi tries to push him, failing miserably. Tobi gets peed upon.
That’s where the session ended, with a piss goblin in plate armor,
