*KA-BOOM*
The thunderous emanations of Aridha's spell echo throughout the area. The sound seems to echo off the hills and cause every bird in the area to take wing. The gnoll manages to grab a tree as it is pushed backward to keep itself standing, and shakes its mane at the dazzling energy that struck it. All this was enough for the gnoll pack leader, he had seen quite enough.
YAAA-WHOO! YAAA-WHOO!
The loud howling brings every head around to the forest line ahead on the road...
The beast stands just outside the trees topping nearly seven feet tall and adorn in trophies from past victims. A few gnoll-bowmen take shots at both Emmyr and Zanword standing in the road catching Emmyr in the side, his armor stopping the arrow head from biting to deep. After the arrows fly the pack lord snaps at those gnolls, sending them fleeing into the trees.
A general retreat looks to have been called. All the gnolls currently fighting the group disengage and start back towards the trees. The gnolls sacking the cart grab what they can and hop down and start after their pack-mates.
"Nooooo! Help me, it's happening! Help me PLEASE!"
At the cries for help the group sees Javin being dragged out from under his cart, caught in a net just like the vision had shown. He fights feebly at his restraints, a look of horror etched in his face.
(Speaking of those in nets.)
Templeton had found the net he was in has caught on the tree beside him and he needed to dislodge it before he could get himself out. As he tugs at the taunt string a pair of huge clawed hands grab him from behind by the shoulders. Unbalanced and off guard Tepleton is thrown to the ground and the gnoll that Aridha had just struck picks up the rope tied to the net and starts to drag the rogue towards the tree line.
Emmyr takes the gnolls distraction to step up and cut deep into one of the beasts that was enchanted by the faerie fire from Rebekah. His blades slash deep into the creatures thighs and back as the unprepared dog-man whines and falls before the dwarf's weapons.

Little white dot means difficult terrain (mostly forest) and provides cover, also moving through any of the cart space is difficult terrain. Aridha could move straight to M14 at the cost of 40' of movement. Saying she dove under the cart and came up on the other side. When in the cart space please let me know if you are under it or on top.
Red dot means wounded
cover = +2 to AC and DEX saves
COVER = +5 to AC and DEX saves
TOTAL COVER = cannot be target with attack, may be caught in AoE[/sblock]
