Initiative - Surprise Round
Gnolls and Dire Hyenas - 18
Verrick - 17
Refleev - 10
Lorien - 8
The nearest Gnoll lets out a half scream half giggle of excitement and throws its javelin at Geenaa…
Attack roll natural 20! yikes follow for a critical is an 11, nope. Still a hit, damage total for the javelin is 10 points of damage! *(hint about the Gnolls, they are each at least level 1 Rangers and Humans are their Favored Enemies)
…snickering it into her left thigh. It is not a deep wound but it is painful and should have shatter the bone but her armor and speed saved her; this time.
The Dire Hyena moves to do an over run on Norbac!
{Standard Action} Attack roll total 24, a hit. As Norbac is surprise he can't attack or avoid, Dire Hyena's Strength test total is 17 +4 for Large size =21. Norbac's Strength test roll is 9 +3 =12
Slamming into the half-orc with hundreds of pounds of muscle, Norbac is knocked down with the creature now standing over him and staring down… it's mouth opening with an insane giggling like bark, a jaw that can snap the bones of elephants inches from his face.
Another Gnoll throws his javelin at Defrel…
{he is about 20 feet from the party to the left} Attack roll total 10 a miss!
…but it flying over his head and buries itself in one of the dead trees behind him. It giggles/howls in frustration as reaches for the strange double weapon it is wearing on it back… a battle-axe at one end, short spear on the other!
Rounding another tree the third javelin thrower takes aim at Lorien…
{He is about 20 ft from the party to the right} Attack roll total 17 a hit, damage roll total is 10 points of damage! (my dice are rolling big damage!)
…stabbing into his right shoulder. It falls out as Lorien rolls with the blow but it still leave a nasty bleeding wound. Gritting his teeth he holds onto his bow and arrow ready to attack back!
The two Gnoll wielding bows fire, one at Refleev and the other at Lorien…
{these Gnolls are 50 ft away} First attack roll total 21 a hit, damage to Refleev is 6 points. Against Lorien, attack roll total is 20 a hit, damage total is 7 points!
…both striking their targets. Refleev dodge out of the way of most of the attack almost by instant but takes a nasty cut along his right cheek. The arrow striking Lorien hits him in the chest, but his armor and experience stop most of the damage and save his life… again.
Verrick shots an arrow into the Dire Hyena standing over Norbac, stricking it in its body with a meaty shot...
The Dire Hyena takes 5 +1 (point blank) points of damage
Refleev steps forward and stabs the Dire Hyena with a draw short sword (he has two out, but can only attack with one this round)…
Attack roll total 16 a hit, damage total is 5 points
…slashing it along the left flank. He yells also "OVER here beast… YEA, YEA" trying to get it to turn away from Norbac…
{Sort of using Wild Empathy just to get the creature to turn from Norbac, so free action as it is not causing any damage or making it flat-footed or anything} Total roll is only a 9 though so he fails
…but it ignores him.
Lorien fires two arrows into the Dire Hyena also…
{within Point Blank Range} Attack roll 8 +11 =19, second roll 16 +11 =27, both hit. Damage roll for the first arrow is 6 +4 =10, second arrow is 3 +4 =7 for a total of 17 points!
…both striking it in its flank and causing the creature is scream in rage and fury!

[occ]Actions for Round 1? Making quick listen checks, Verrick, Refleev, Philo, and Defrel hear a growl from the main gate as 3 huge Ogres, wearing mail halberds with great helms and carrying two handed weapons (one is a Axe one a Sword and one a huge flail!) are about to charge out of the gate… they seem to have stepped out of no where! One second the gate was empty the next the Ogres were moving towards the group. They are at present 40 feet away…if you want to make your own attack rolls please do… if you do not I will make them for you. Also I will make the rolls for all if I don't see your characters actions by tomorrow night, just so we can keep the game moving)
