As the gnome attacks Ikni, Lorik is ready to step in and cuts him, knocking him unconscious, finally. The warrior then turns his attention to the drakes, felling the few ones left with a swipe of the blade that only connects by a small margin, but is sufficient against the tiny, fierce creatures.
Haruka lights a sunrod, enlightening the woods with its bright light.*
Heinrich tries to conceal himself from the elf. The fey notices him, but cannot escape the bolt aimed at his leg, that wounds him badly.**
Derien moves close to the elf when his spell fails, he looks for Romulin but there's no trace of him. Instead, he sees the rope that was tying him lain on the ground near the trees to the very South. And also, something that looks like a piece of paper near the rope.
Then you hear the voice of the dancing gnome crying in pain at the sight of the dead drakes:
Nooooo! My precious!!! Paaay you will!!!, which reveals his position to you (he was standing only a few steps from Derien, like he was hiding in plain sight thanks to some kind of magic). He launches a spell not unlike the one that had opened the battle, and
impairs Lorik's and Ikni's sense of balance and direction again.
He then gathers his arcane energy in a blinding green light, that washes over the unconscious Galinndan. When the light is gone, the Eladrin, too, has disappeared.***
The gnome then moves away from you.
The elf gets away from Derien**** and shoots an arrow at him, but the wound on his leg
makes him miss his balance, and aim.
ooc:*The drakes are dead, and Haruka can't see any other enemy from where she is, so I made her light the sunrod. I hope it's alright.
**For the same reason, I made Heinrich attack the elf. The stealth check was not sufficient, though, so no SA.
***Strictly fluff. I had said Galinndan would disappear someway or another.
****Provoking an OA.

[sblock=Galinndan's fate]Open to proposals. I was thinking something on the line of "reappears fully healed, but completely naked, in the middle of a bush of thorny roses a few steps from the Drowned man"
