Aodhán moves back into the fray with his weapon held aloft, intent on finishing off this creature. Unfortunately, the slippery ground causes the Abhac Cleric to lose his footing and foils the attack.
Realizing his dire peril, Keeland lets his bow fall to the ground with a clatter. He pulls his longsword with both hands and swings with all his might (1d20+1=11). However, the foes' hide is too tough and the blade bounces harmlessly off. The young elf steels himself for the deadly attack he knows will come...
The huge beast snarls into Keeland's face, it's fetid breath almost enough to knock the Bard down by itself. Massive arms draw back, preparing claws to rend and tear . . . and the Gnoll falls to the ground at the Áilleacht's feet.
Houwlou will first search the skanky body of the gnoll, disturbing the fleas and lice as little as possbile, and then he will drag the whopping big hyena-man about 50 yards away from the edge of the campsite before getting a drink of water and heading for bed again.
Letting out the breath he was unconsciously holding, Keeland sheaths his blade and recovers his bow. He hopes no ones sees his hands shaking slightly. "That was indeed a disturbingly big gnoll." Keeland searches his memory for tales of such beasts.
Holding the deep wound in his stomach, Aodhán casts some spells of healing to mend his wounds. Then concentrates on filling the area with positive energy to heal everyone's wounds.

Been a draining weekend, and we're up early and off to Memphis and the zoo tomorrow. I'm about to head to bed and pass out for the evening. Hopefully, I'll get more up tomorrow before we head out - if not, likely tomorrow afternoon/evening.
before going to bed again, Houwlou thanks Aodhan and Keeland for their ministrations.
The Olcán is awake at dawn and immediately begins to give Kecil a hand with the preparation of breakfast. "Ahh, nothing like a hot breakfast with good meat and fresh coffee when you're out in the wilds! It's the most invigorating feeling that I've ever known!"
After breakfast, Houwlou tends to Puddin', strikes the tent and gets everything loaded up so that they can continue their jouney. "At least the rain has stopped now!"

At least, I'm assuming that the rain has stopped?

The bard rises slowly with bags under his eyes. His dreams were troubled by giant leaping gnolls. He stretches and gathers his gear. Finally, he gets out his lute and plays a song for the dawn, a wordless tune of awakening possibilities and slowly building tempo. It is an old Áilleacht song. After a few minutes he is feeling more himself and goes to help the others break camp.
