"Lets hold and hit them at range.
"Hold the passageway entrance. If things get too hot, its our way out."
If his companions agree, Marcus sets down his lantern so that it faces east, and checks that his sword is loose in its scabbard. He brings up his crossbow and moves into the room a little (a4) where he will hopefully have space to try and outflank the gnolls if they move into melee. The rocks may even be useful if he can use them to move unseen.
ooc: 1 square =10 feet by 10 feet. About 100 feet to the stairs? Is that right?

"I'll hold them off you if they think of rushing us Marcas! Octar can you keen an eye out in case they pass that pile of ruble over there and hit us in the tha back? Oh and um Ehldanis? u can still see them comming if u stand behind us, with those elfs eyes i mean?"
~Dhormium smills a broad grin with that last remark to the elf, no hard feelings but still he got to make an elf joke! het reaches for his axe and is prepared to keep marcus clear of beasts as long as possible~

Ehldannis reaches for the comforting security of spellcasting as soon as he sees the Gnolls. Hiding behind his companions he screeches a tirade of arcana, conjuring a cloud of murky smoke from which emerges a black wolf of fell aspect. The beast lets out an unearthly howl and sniffs at the air for the scent of foes.

Marcus winces at the dwarfs sense of humour, but is glad to have him in his corner.
"Keep to my left my friend, and your head down. If they rush us, you get their attention and I'll try and catch them unawares from the flanks."
"Good strength to your arm Good luck to your axe."
ooc: and have fun!

"Sound's like there's a horde of rats in the rubble." Brioc warns the group. "If they come out, use fire to keep them at bay.
"Octar, Dhormium, take the front rank. I'll be behind you, and I'll help with sword or spell, depending on what happens. Marcus, keep yourself out of sight. If you can, circle round them, and try to finish their leader. Wolf, go with him. Ehldannis, keep to the back. Good luck."
He readies his scimitar and shield, waiting for the gnolls to show themselves.

Octar immediately follows Brioc's orders. As soon as he heard the gnoll's howling and realized its source, he sheathed his sword, stowed his shield and drew his bow. He knew the Gnolls would have a long charge over open ground, and archery, not swordplay, was his primary martial skill. He grins and knocks an arrow, ready to fire at the first gnoll to present itself.
First round of combat will consist of rapid shot at the first rank of gnolls. I'm also willing to try and ghost Marcus. He and wolf will head for the little nook at D6 and be ready to peek around the edge to sneak attack some gnolls.

~The after image of all those corpses stacked upon each other still haunt Dhormium. Even when he walks underground, in a cave, and a fight that is about to erupt. Something in his mind connected and made a link. Corpses, Underground lake, blood sacrifice, G’ruks storey. I don’t remember if a saw any other races in those piles. Are these gnolls up to something with that creature in the lake?
Dhormium knuckles are turning white, that’s how good he holding onto his shield and axe, this always happens just before these moments, during the fight he always relaxes a bit again. Holding on to shield and axe the dwarf speaks in a hushed voice after he got the attention of Brioc~
“Brioc, these gnolls, all those corpses, the creature in the lake, I think they are all connected. Could they be feeding that creature with blood from the corpses? I just don’t know why they would do that, but we should be ready for anything!”
