I've spent about the last 2 weeks in SK, and I wish I'd graduated from chickens to gnolls earlier! The loot is far better, with about half of them giving up 2-4pp each, and a variety of fine steel weapons being dropped on a regular basis. I was there last night for maybe 2 days norrath time, and everyone I was grouped with ended up with at least 2 FS weapons, and a handful of gnoll hide whips, along with the regular split paw gloves and ambers etc.
