Bayar
Bayar curses at the sound of falling rubble. "Clumsy useless git. Lucky he be not falling down the cliff himself," he mutters. As the dog - or heyena or whatever Henri called it - sounds the alarm Bayar sighs and moves slowly out from behind the boulders to put himself between the slope and the others. Them dogs be tough to fight on the bottom of this slope. They probably be knocking a horse over its tail. Stay low and it might go over the top. He adopts a crouched fighting stance, shield held on an angle to the sky with his sword pointing vertically held behind him. He calls to the others "Hold. Be patient and they be coming to us. No other ways in."
[sblock=ooc]
Can't get onto invisible castle again (work computer), though doubt its a big deal owing to his role in combat. Initiative roll is 1d20+8 with the +4 bonus.
Moving round to the front of the boulders, draw sword. Nothing else to do but wait.

Day 3, In the Forest, the Gnoll camp.
Libros casts his spell. The gnoll pauses for a moment, as if distracted for a moment. But then with a bark of anger, shrugs it off.
Sukri backs off from this place by the rocks at the start of the ledge. He can't see anything from there, and the hyena could come down on top of him without warning. As he does so, he sees the gnoll. Stepping back into cover, Sukri shoots. The arrow scores a furrow across the gnoll's armour, but doesn't penetrate.
Jan, seeing that the game is afoot, targets the hyena with his bow. He misses.
Eban cast his spell. The gnoll glances up, but quickly returns his attention to more pressing matters. Of course, Eban has no awareness of this.
The Gnoll loses his own arrow at Sukri striking the rogue (Damage 3). The gnoll then drops down low, and out of sight.
Bayar readies himself for an attack, positioning himself with a rock to his back, and his shield in front.
The Hyena appears, advancing to the lower edge of the ledge. But there it stays, growling and snarling.

Eban decides to move towards the edge of the cliff, intent on looking down below, trying to see what he can... (Posting now, as dependant on what he sees, he will try to use a standard action if possible...)
If Eban spies the gnoll down the ledge, and has clear shot, will attack with Steel Scarf ability, range 30 feet, +3 to hit, 1d8+1 dmg, melee attack.

"To live is life, and live to learn as we watch a devil dog burn!" Jan starts with a limerick to inspire others with confidence to make their attacks!

The arrow only grazes Sukri, but it's still a shock. He curses himself for being too quick to attack, and maneuvers elsewhere in the brush and prepares for another opportunity to strike. As tempting as it would be to take out the hyena, he does not want to draw any more attention.

Libros is slightly put out by the failure of his spell but he knows that creatures are occasionally able to shack off the effects. Deciding to change track slightly, he waits until the Gnoll becomes visible and unleash a ray of magic force.
[sblock=Actions]Ready action until Gnoll becomes visible. If this condition not meet by end of the round and the Hyena is visible, target Hyena instead.

Day Three, in the Forest, at the Gnoll Camp.
Round 2
Libros prepare to unleash his arcane energy at the gnoll. The sorcerer waits.
Sukri back peddles, pulling back from the rocks at the base of the ledge and putting some more distance, and cover, between himself and the hyena on the ledge [1]. The hyena watches him withdraw, but doesn't leave its spot. Sukri finds a place with concealment some 20 feet back from where he was and about five feet from Bayar.
Jan fires off a short, rousing limerick (who would have thought that there was such a thing!). The bard's companions feel inspired.
Eban moves towards the edge of the cliff. As it overhangs the ledge, he cannot see what is happening there. But he can see the forest where Jan and Libros lurk. Unfortunately while he can see glimpses of them through the trees, he cannot make out what they are doing.
The Gnoll remains out of sight. It must be on its belly, or its hands and knees at least. A small bowl sails through the air to land with a crash onto the rocks at the base of the ledge, some ten feet in front off the hyena (and about where Sukri was moments before). It breaks open, and erupts into flames setting fire to the grass and a few small bushes.
Bayar holds. He knows that there is nowhere for the gnoll to go, except through himself and his companions.
The Hyena maintains its position at the lowest point of the ledge, It barks and growls at the flames and smoke in front of it, with occasional futile attempts to catch its own tail.
Libros unleashes his arcane bolt at the Hyena. It hisses past the dog, scorching the stone behind it.
[SBLOCK=OOC Round 2]
[1] Shortbow range increment is 60 feet. Sukri would have to run in the opposite direction to get out of the first range increment, and even then, he wouldn't be out of range. He would be out of sight, however, that far into the forest.

Jan shoots his bow at the hyena after quoting his taunting limerick. He lets his words of encouragement linger on like the ringing on a tolling bell.
1d20+4=18, 1d6+1=5
He watches the arrow sink in the wild canine's flesh with a sense of elation

Sukri watches the missile's conflagration and grinds his teeth as he imagines how painful it would have been to get that in the head. He faces Bayar and speaks in a low voice.
"The dogman can hide, but we know where he is. We kill the hyena first, then I follow you to ledge and we finish him!"
Happy that the hyena did not follow him, he rises from the cover and fires an arrow at the beast.
