[QUOTE="Manzanita, post: 1568362, member: 10109"] [b]gnoll smackdown battle royal[/b] With the enemy revealed in the light of Octar's dagger, the party springs into action. Ehldannis moves a few steps and releases a barbed shaft, which flies true, sinking into flesh with a thud, although the light is too dim to reveal the extent of the damage. His black wolf, meanwhile, pulls down a gnoll, and rips its throat out. Tullius moves to the top of the stairs. As he advances, he sees a bevy of additional gnolls moving into the combat. Taking his stand, he attacks the only gnoll currently in range, who is distracted by the black wolf. Unable to bring both weapons to bear, he strikes out expertly with his battle axe, ripping a long vertical gash down the beast's flank. (9 pts dmg) The gnolls bark and yelp ferociously as they engage, though the party's prior success against such foes have steeled their hearts against these horrible beasts, and no one feels any fear. The new gnolls are all armed with halberts, and wear filthy hide armor. Two of the newcomers join the fight against the black wolf, and hack it down. Two more strike at Tullius, but the Roman deftly evades their blades. Brioc is able to attain the top of the stairs just before the charging gnolls. His swift scimitar, so effective in the last fight, is deflected by the halbert pole of his opponent, who slams forward with the pole, striking the druid hard in the head, and almost sending him toppling down the stairs. (7 pts dmg). The two gnolls who still hide behind the southern pillars release arrows at the advancing elf. Ehldannis is glad his mystic armor is still effective, and it deflects one of the incoming shafts, but the other hits his stomach painfully, before bouncing off. (5 pts dmg) Marcus advances silently, wolf at his heels. No one seems to notice him. Mendicus clumsily lays down his torch, sheaths his sword, and begins to ready his crossbow. Dhormium calls forth the power of Clannigan in the form of a dwarven waraxe, which swiftly cuts down one of the bowmen behind a pillar, the one Ehldannis' arrow had struck earlier.
