Round 4
Ragnikyr stabs his longspear at the gnoll attacking Kerrz, but the constant movement caused by the ongoing fight causes the blow to pierce nothing but air.
Kerrz steadies himself, growls back at his opponent, and unleashes a vicious attack. This time the blow lands solidly on the gnoll's shoulder, opening an ugly, deep wound.
Valan chuckles,
"Down, boy,", at the gnoll facing him and reaches in for a barehanded attack. He executes a beautiful leg sweep, and this time the gnoll's size isn't enough to keep him upright. The beast crashes down on his back with a thud and a grunt. The cleric immediately takes advantage of his downed adversary and unleashes a telling kick to its midsection, eliciting another groan of pain. Valan then moves to the rear of Kerrz, ready to assist his wounded friend.
Now that he's been blooded, the gnoll facing Kerrz lets out a frightful yell/howl before taking a wild swipe with his axe at his injured foe. His rage and bloodlust have an apparently detremental effect on his combat skills as his blow flies harmlessly to the side of Kerrz.
The bow wielding gnoll, seeing his partners starting to falter, launches another urgent shot at Gideon. This time the arrow flies true, burying itself into Gideon's chest. Gideon stares at the black feathers now sprouting out of his breast, unable to do much else.
The last gnoll, lying on the ground, doesn't grasp the immediate danger he's in and tries to climb to his feet. Ragnikyr and Tor immediately take advantage of the opportunity and unleash strikes against him. The bard's spear strike doesn't fair any better against this gnoll than the last, however, and he punctures air again. Tor's chain strike fairs the same, striking the ground where the gnoll was, not where he currently stands. The gnoll stares incredulously at the bard and warrior, not quite believing his luck. He then tightens the grip on his axehandle, steps forward and swings at Ragnikyr. The gnoll's good fortune doesn't carry through, and the blow misses the bard.
Tor, his blood racing with the excitement of combat and danger, unleashes another swing of his chain, this time at the gnoll in front of Kerrz. The chain sails through the air on a true course this time, savaging the gnoll and dropping him to the ground. His blood singing with battlelust, Tor continues the attack to the gnoll facing Ragnikyr. The chain strikes clean again, tearing into the surprised gnoll and leaving him lying in his own blood on the ground.
Gideon...
