END OF ROUND FOUR:

Eva continues to advance and has almost completed her long run to be able to strike out at the gnolls.

Geeo and Kiera are also both able to advance. With each step they take, they can feel the effects of the cloud wearing thin.

Geeo, Kiera:
[Sblock]Neither Geeo and Kiera are fatigued any longer. The effect of the cloud was only for one round after exiting the cloud. Thus, Round Five can be any typical action you would like.[/Sblock]

ROUND FIVE:

As the party draws coser, the gnoll who has been attacking Cassient unleashes another blow against Cassient. However, as the gnoll begins to go through the motions it opens itself up to an attack from Ray. Ray absolutely clobbers the gnoll, plastering it backwards against the tunnel wall. While the gnoll is not yet dead, it was damaged severely and it is quite apparent that the energy it had been summoning in an atteck against Cassient is lost. Like its companion, the gnoll appears to be within one good blow of its demise.

The other gnoll continues to strike out against Ray. Again, however, Ray is able to evade the attack.

Ray returns the strike agaisnt the gnoll who had been attacking him. The first of his flurry misses as the gnoll deftly evades. The second of his flurry manages to land, catching the gnoll across the face and sending him down to the ground. The gnoll has been wounded to the point that he is clearly dying and will not get back up, but he is not yet dead.

Cassient, ready to unleash an arcane assault upon the gnoll that had previously wounded him, stays his hand for a moment, waiting to see if his companions will dispatch the hateful creature. Ray, at least, has already shown his mettle, both in his assault on the gnoll that he has already felled and in his interruption of the other gnoll's attempted to blast him once more. I must thank him when this is done, Cassient thinks to himself, and simultaneously realises with pleasant surprise that he will certainly have the chance to do so. The battle is as good as won, and the company has prevailed in their first test. He smiles to himself, and waits to see if one of the others will finish the fight. One hand still holds his wand, ready to strike the gnoll down with a foolproof attack if it should survive the assaults of his companions.
 

Eva continues to charge, and screams at the Gnoll that still has fight left in it, "Pelor have mercy on you! For I will not!"
She is anxious to strike at her enemies with her sword (ooc: one-handed).

EDIT: changed from nearest Gnoll to the one that might still fight back... not sure if it's nearest or not

Ray will either:

A) Attack the second gnoll, with a flurry of blows, if he's still up,
or
B) Tend to the dying gnoll, to stop the bleeding.
 

"Eva! Stop!" Kiera calls out to the fervant warrior hoping to get her to stop from killing without reason. She ups her pace hoping to catch the warrior, but knowing that all that will reach in time is her words, "do not let your fury blind you, Pelor's light is bright and pure, but it also spreads into the darkness letting it free from the shadows, it does not always consume what lies there."
 

Though she was willing to find a way to avoid a fight against the Gnolls before this battle began, Eva continues her single-minded charge until she is certain that these Gnolls will not fight back. "The time for regret is after the fight is over..."

If the Gnolls are both incapacitated, she will move slightly ahead of the other party members, looking through the darkness to see if more Gnolls might be out there.
 

ROUND FIVE:

Yavarin (NPCed) advances a few steps and sends another arrow through the air at the one remaining gnoll. This arrow finds the gnoll gnoll in the throat and exits the other side. As the gnoll falls to the ground it is obvious that it tried to scream something but lacked the ability to speak any longer. By the time it hit the ground, it was already dead.

Cassient can see that the gnoll is dead.

Cassient:
[Sblock]I will consider that a readied action ... so if you want Cassient can take an action of attack once Eva moves ;) [/Sblock]

Eva can clearly see that the second gnoll is beyond life. As she steps a few steps ahead of the gnolls to protect the advancing party another gnoll who had been waiting in surprise charges out of the tunnel with greatsword drawn. As it approaches and attacks it yells, "Me stole this last time me got angry and people go through me tunnel. Me take your armor this time!" The greatsword hits Eva in the side, dealing significant damage.

Eva:
[Sblock]Eva takes 14 damage[/Sblock]

Cassient steps forward to stand beside Ray, slipping his wand back into his belt as he goes, and speaking another brief Draconic verse he hurls a missile of pure cold at the newly-arrived menace.

OOC:
[sblock]My intention was to delay, not to ready an action - sorry, should have made that clear. Hope it's okay that I took an action - if I'd readied I wouldn't have been able to.

If you allow my actions for the round then it's a ranged touch attack, +4 bonus, dealing 3d8 damage on a successful hit.[/sblock]
 

Though her heavy armor turned the blade, the gnoll's greatsword bruises Eva heavily, leaving her gasping for breath.

Through clenched teeth, Eva replies, "You'll take nothing but what I give you, dog! And all I have for you is Pelor's judgement!"

With a silent prayer to Pelor to give her strength, Eva swings her sword in a wild and savage arc towards the Gnoll.

ooc:

Eva's current HPs: 40 - 14 = 26

Power Attack -2 to hit, +2 to damage...

One-handed attack with Bastard Sword, as modified by Power Attack...
