[QUOTE="EarlyBird, post: 7211302, member: 6899077"] [b]Gnoll Ambush, RD3[/b] The gnolls to the north swarm over Javin's cart. Rana notices it setting still and lurched to the side as if one of the wheels has been broken. The gnolls seem interested in sacking the cart and not drawing blood, so the group has a few moments before they may need to deal with them. Her spell only manages to coax one gnoll to sleep, but he is awakened almost immediately by the residue of acid that splashes onto it.
