When Lucius moves out of his way, Coraine will heed Dara's advice and take a step backwards. Meantime, he considers using the god's gift to assess the moral state of these creatures but decides against it. Such concentration would put him at a disadvantage, should they decide to attack. Instead, he waits, axe and shield at the ready.

Slaver dripping from their mouths, the gnolls snarl loudly at you as they charge forward. One gnoll reaches you slightly ahead of his companions, only to find Coraine’s axe waiting for him. The paladin strikes a mighty blow, cleaving the gnoll from shoulder to chest.
Kine draws his blade and retreats back down the corridor, ending up in the northwest passage, hoping to lure the gnolls back to be surrounded by the group.
Dara motions Lucius to move out of the corner, so Coraine and Ragnok can step back to allow them to bring their numbers to bear somewhat. The barbarian herself draws her falchion and stands ready to attack them.
Another gnoll steps over the body of his fallen comrade, only to meet resistance in the form of Norryjar, the mighty dwarven axe. With a mighty blow, Ragnok drops this gnoll to the floor in a shower of blood.
The next gnoll steps up to Coraine and swings his axe, but the paladin sidesteps the attack, and the axe cuts nothing but air.
Seeing two of his companions fall to the vicious onslaught, the last gnoll turns and runs the other way, his footsteps echoing loudly through the stone corridor.
While Lucius moves out from behind his friends, Otto, Verdis and Jorb keep their eyes trained on the southern passage.
OOC: I assumed that Coraine readied an action to attack as Ragnok did…hope this was okay.

Dara
“No reinforcements!” Dara proclaims, as the fleet-footed woman darts off after the fleeing creature, in order to stop it dead in its tracks.
OOC: Delay after Ragnok, then Double Move 80' after the gnoll, using Tumble to avoid AoO, if necessary; if possible, Tumble past the fleeing gnoll to block passage.

"Go on girl, drop da dog!"
OOC: Attack G1. If Coraine fells G1, Ragnok will move, and when he sees G4, leave his axe against the wall, get out a throwing hammer and throwing it at G4. If G4 then is not within eyesight (Darkvision 60 ft.), he won't drop the axe, and move on to get the gnoll. (Didn't add description becaus of variability)

[OOC: Otto, if the opportunity presents itself, will try to help with the remaining Gnoll. He will try to flank the guy and get a Sneak Attack. Otherwise, he waits it out, given we heavily outnumber the Gnolls.]
"Now, that's the spirit," Otto remarks as one of the Gnolls drops, and the other flees. "That was quite... efficient, my fellows."

"Dara! Not on your own. Damn!" Coraine swings again, hoping to repeat his earlier success by dropping this new opponent in one stroke, but in his haste to get past the gnoll and help Dara, he fumbles his axe, nearly dropping it. Despite this, he dashes past the gnoll, intent on backing up Dara as soon as possible. His foe’s axe catches him in the side as he moves past, slashing a painful wound along his ribs.
Kine watches the others cleave through the gnolls and feels a little bit foolish at having wasted his time trying to out maneuver them. He watches for a chance to step up and help, but seeing nothing for now, he simply bides.
"Go on girl, drop da dog," shouts Ragnok, and strikes another devastating blow again his opponent. Norryjar cleaves the gnoll’s arm clean off, and drops the creature to the floor in a pool of its own blood.
“No reinforcements!” Dara proclaims, as the fleet-footed woman darts off after the fleeing creature, in order to stop it dead in its tracks. She rounds several corners and enters a large room, only to see the gnoll fleeing into a passageway to the north, shouting in a guttural, crude language as it goes. Dara recognizes the tongue as that of goblin, and that the gnoll is shouting something to the effect of “Help! Intruders!”
"Now, that's the spirit," Otto remarks as one of the Gnolls drops, and the other flees. "That was quite... efficient, my fellows."
Verdis tries to watch the south passage, but his eyes are constantly drawn to the battle behind him. Seeing that things are going well, he stays at his post.
Lucius moves to follow the rest of his companions after the fleeing gnoll, leaving Otto, Verdis, Jorb and Kine standing alone in the passageway.
Rodigan is still nowhere to be seen.
OOC: I wasn’t exactly sure how to handle Coraine following Dara, when Dara’s initiative comes after his, but since things in combat happen almost simultaneously, I think how I handled it works?
