Returning to the window, Libros reloads then stares into the darkness in the direction that the arrows seem to be coming from. Somewhere by where the stream re-enters the forest it seems. But try as he might he cannot make out anything in the darkness. The dancing lights make it easy to see what is happening in the garden, but only make it harder to see beyond the light cast.Bayar hitches up his shield and, pausing just long enough to allow Eban to cast his heal spell (+6hp), heads out into the darkness. Stomping though the garden and kicking through the remains of the garden fence, he gets to about way to the tree line. Which is also the outer limits of the illumination cast by the dancing lights. Beyond is inky black darkness.Eban, his spell cast, climbs to his feet taking care to stay close behind the Bayar.As Sukri withdraws his blade from the dying gnoll the River Rat is stuck by another arrow from out of the darkness (-6hp). Jan, his performance concluded, moves downstairs and through the house and into the light outside the front door. Three dead gnolls and a dog lie dead or dying  in the garden. Bayar and Eban have already started out towards the the location from where the arrows are coming from. Sukri, with blood streaming don his side from the arrow wound is the only one remaining. Jan casts heal on the River Rat, completely closing the wound (+7 hp).Sukri heads out after Bayar and Eban. They are easy enough to catch up with about two thirds of the way to the tree line.Out in the darkness, a little to the right of where Bayar is heading, all those looking see a glint of light reflected of steel and a dark shape move in among the darkness. While the distance is hard to gauge in darkness, it is no more than 40 feet.Libros, weapon ready, shoots at the gnoll. He is unable to see where the bolt goes.[SBLOCK=OOC Round 8]CONDITIONS SUMMARY* Jan: Inspire Courage +1 morale bonus vs charm and fear, +1 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls.
