Brioc's wolf snaps at him as he does so.  The gnoll then brings around his mighty flail, again missing the lithe animal.  THe northernmost gnoll shifts to keep Mendicus off his flank, and strikes out at him, sending his sprawling to ground in a splash of blood.  Another swings at Brioc, missing.  His earth elemental is also missed.  Octar is struck by a morningstar, and staggered somewhat (8 pts).Marcus shouts and feints at the gnoll to draw its attention and give the wolf an opening.  Brioc strikes down his opponent, and his earth elemental strikes a solid blow to its.  Brioc's wolf leaps again, but its teeth slide off the gnoll's armor.Round 10Ehldannis shifts targets again, this time shooting at Mendicus' opponent, and his arrow deflects off the gnoll, with only minor damage.Tullius advances after the sorcerer, this time closing enough to use both weapons, and cuts the creature down.  His wolf, catches the gnoll's arm in his teeth and pulls him to the ground, then disappears from whence he came, leaving the gnoll surprised and prone.Octar, angered by his recent impotence in the combat, finds renewed strength, and cuts down his opponet (g17)Dhormium shifts his attention north to Mendicus's opponent(g20), catching him from the flank, and splitting his skull.The last eastern gnoll struggles to its feet, allowing Marcus the opportunity to sink his blade in deep, killing it.The gnoll fighting the earth elemental, seeing the writing on the wall, attempts to flee, but is cut down by Octar as he passes.The last gnoll, wholy involved in his combat against Brioc's wolf,  continues to fight, finally knocking the wolf to the ground.He then becomes the target of Ehldannis' next arrow, which misses.[everyone else's turn in round 10]</blockquote>
