The wound is not too deep, thanks to Storn's armor, but the dwarf is moderately wounded at least, gritting his teeth.This new gnoll barks angrily at the other one.  It carries a nicer axe and wears studded leather, with a brass earring in one ear and a few scars on its face.  This one also carries a second axe, a fine hatchet, in its right hand (the battelaxe is in its left).  The other gnoll, badly wounded, keeps its shoulders bowed, while this one stands a little straighter.  It snarls out in rough Common "Ss'rrender to Gars'raakh!  Rrr die!"[sblock=Round 6 Ends]Round 6 Initiatives:22 Merrick (12 damage, disabled at 0 HP)18 Gnoll 2 (9 damage, fighting defensively)17 Selua15 Abrielle (still has Constitution damage)14 Gnoll 3 (dying)15 Abde'ragman13 Gnoll 4 (dying)12 Gnoll 5 (dying)11 Evanar6 Gnoll Sentry (DEAD)6 Fayne6 Storn (6 damage)4 Tarven (3 damage)3 Gnoll #6 (hasn't shown up yet)Selua steps in to attack, but misses.Abrielle retrieves another healing potion.Abde'ragman reloads and moves closer.  Can only move 30 feet this round since you took a move action to reload, so you're halfway or so to where you meant to go, as shown on the map.Evanar attacks and narrowly misses, thanks to the gnoll fighting defensively.Fayne steps in to attack as well and also misses (the gnoll moved to where it was 15 feet away from Fayne, on its turn).Storn takes a 5-foot step to flank with Selua again, and attacks the gnoll.  Rolled a 12 to hit, which misses.Gnoll #6 arrives, moving to the edge of the clearing and attacking Storn, flanking with gnoll #2.  Rolled a 20 to hit, for 6 damage.The map, at the end of the round.....
