Just as one of the humanoid beasts sees the giant archer, he lets his arrow fly and squarely hits the hyena, who didn't even see it coming. One rather distinct yelp later, the arrow can be seen sticking from the wild dog's back as it, and the other two humanoids look to see where it came from. A short exchange of dog babble later and all 3 are looking in the main group's direction.[sblock=Combat!]Jonas has initiated combat. I've found and addressed a map, but I'm a little out of steam for the night. (It's been a brutal week for me.) Full update to get things started very soon. It's going to slightly alter previous descriptions, but the spirit of the thing should be good.The arrow still hits the hyena after taking range modifiers into account.Jonas' identify on the humanoids (they aren't monstrous, so it's Local not Nature, but you still succeed): Yep, it's Gnolls. Four things come to mind:(1) They're big and tough, and know how to swing effectively.(2) They are clever--smart enough to carry a variety of weapons.(3) They see in the dark much like Jonas does.(4) They run about as fast as a human.You can flavor those facts with appropriate lore that isn't directly combat related. They are known cannibals, eating downed friend and foe alike. Etc.[/sblock]</blockquote>
