-Okay...Well, first of all:

  • What levels are the characters?
  • What region do you have in mind?
  • When is this campaign set?
  • Any specific Demon Lord in mind?

Yeenoghu is a dirty bastard. And so are all gnolls if played right. I like my gnolls as characterful low level threats.

Oh, and include a flind wielding a flindbar! They are like Gnoll packleaders but with a bit of a kickass martial art master thrown in, wielding flindbars like nunchucks in a whirl of disarming wood and furry limbs. Include some hyena's. Utter bonesnapping and bloody carnage unsues.

Never seen 2nd edition Flinds? They appear to have been scrapped for 3edition.

I found a nice conversion of them here.

Well gnolls and yeenoghu have one major tie-in I can think of and that involes the Fanged Shield of Shyk Korort stolen from the Shaaran gnoll tribes by none other than Iryklathagra.

If you would even consider it, running an adventure against Yeenoghu in 4E is completely viable since he and his cult have been stated out.

Ah yes, the Eastrift or something? I don't think the entire Shaar collapsed, probably just the lands east of the landrise.

I kind of like gnolls. Always thought they were as fun as the more popular hobgoblins and stuff

-Yeah, well...

-Anyway, concerning Gnolls, my sister has this third-party book...Hamunaptra. Their take on Gnolls was very interesting. Egyptified.

-Yeah. The only thing I didn't like is that they didn't have any kind of 'celestial' aspect to them. I always envisioned such Anubis-like creatures as being akin to Aasimar.
