Fighting defensively and praying for luck is Alden's only hope without one of the Gnolls stepping in to give a flank. He does +1d6 damage fighting defensively (Deadly Defence Feat) and winds up with an AC of 16. Not high...but enough for the claws to miss more often than not. Essentially, he needs 2 hits (on a 17 or 18, can't remember the Krenshar's AC) or 1 crit (given the difficulty of a hit a crit is very unlikely) to settle the job.
Given 2 hits will finish him in all probability (or 1 hit from the bite) his odds are not good! Still...I've seen stranger things happen in my RP "career". It may also be part of the story... Otherwise, oh well. He isn't the first and won't be the last character of mine to wind up face down on a muddy road to nowhere.
