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.

Houwlou Groulenas

Houwlou will take one move action to hopefully flank the foe, and execute a melee attack.

attack=10 (12 if flanking, yuk!)
damage=n/a
Houwlou's next attack at the gnoll. Attack is 2 higher if flanking. (1d20+7=10, 1d8+3=9)
[sblock=ooops]forgot the extra +2 again, but that only makes the attack a 12. :( [/sblock]

Keeland (by Mowgli, from OOC Thread)

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 Wait Is Over (For Real)

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.

[sblock=OOC]Finally bled out. Fight is over.[/sblock]
 

Houwlou Groulenas

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.
 

Aftermath

The Gnoll has nothing other than its breechcloth.

Kecil says, "I've heard of Gnolls before - who hasn't around here? But I never imagined they'd be that big!"
 

Houwlou Groulenas

"Hey, Kecil, you want to keep his breech-cloth as a souvenir? It might make a nice pillow if you fold it just right." ;)

Keeland

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.

OOC: knowledge history (1d20+7=14)
 

Aftermath

Keeland cannot recall any tales of oversize Gnolls, nor has he encountered any in his wide travels.

Houwlou is similarly stymied - not a rumor has surfaced nor has he ever seen a track of such a thing in his time as a mountain guide.
