Surprise round.
You guide your horses above the wooden bridge and into the court yard, the place is quiet and there is no sign of the blue wyrm, beside the fallen gates of the entrance to the moathouse, tied with a thick rope to a rusted ring near the stairs you spot two light horses grazing on the fresh green grass.
*Twing* *Twing* *Twing*
3 arrows fly instantly from the broken and shattered windows that are placed along the wall of the ruined keep. Two arrows bounce from Korbryn's and Miltiades's armor, the last one sinks deep into the kid's thigh.
You spot 3 Gnolls standing behind the windows. 2 other Gnolls wielding battleaxes venture outside to the courtyard, another one, quite big and fearsome compared to the others strides behind, holding a short sword in his right hand and a long one in his left, he calls commands in the Gnolish tongue, to his right walks a mean looking Half-Orc brute, the one Ol' Del talked about, a fine carved Greataxe gripped tightly in his hands and a big evil smirk on his face.
He points to Korbryn and calls with hoarse voice "You are mine, you tiny maggot"
[sblock=Actions]
Gnoll 1 – Range attack Thandis 21, Critical [No], dmg 6
Gnoll 2 - Range attack Korbryn 6.
Gnoll 3 - Range attack Miltiades 13.
I remind you that you are all mounted.

"Come and get me, orc!" growls Korbryn as he draws his greatsword in one smooth motion. The doughty dwarf moves forward, striking out at the closest foes.
Initiative 14
Mounted? Korbryn doesn't have a horse! Did he get one at some point?
Move to M15, attack gnolls. This should also give the archers a penalty against him as he is in melee.

"By the blazes! Too soon! Stupid me, stupid, stupid!" For a sorcerer like Ithiken, having forgotten to cast his defensive spells before entering the keep was a mistake on his part that he only hopes he'll live to regret. With this many gnolls around attacking with both melee and ranged weapons... he realizes that he is not prepared for this kind of fight, and knows he needs to get his force armor and force shield up as soon as he can. [Initiative 21]
From atop his horse, he immediately makes motions with his hands and mumbles some words and then *poof*, he disappears from everyone's sight. While invisible, he then climbs down off of his mount so that the horse is between him and all the gnolls. (Cast Invisibility on self / Move action to dismount behind horse)

The Kid spurs his horse forward, drawing a brace of daggers in one smooth motion and tossing one at the nearest orc. Anger is plain on his face.

Round 1.
From atop his horse, Ithiken immediately makes motions with his hands and mumbles some words and then *poof*, he disappears from everyone's sight.
Miltiades starts an invocation to infuse his comrades with a battle blessing as he readies his spear, hearing Miltiades's pledge for his god fills your souls with a boost of spiritual courage.
The fearsome Gnoll circle the other and goes to intercept Miltiades, The Half Orc strides to Korbryn and swings his greataxe, the axe finds a weak spot and hit the stout dwarf in the hip, who counters attack with a mighty blow that send the Half Orc to his knees bleeding and severely wounded.
One of the Gnolls back away from the window and circles the keep's interior and appears near the stairs, the other two fire arrows but miss, the two hyenas with the battle axes attack in clumsiness.
Guiding his horse to the front, Thandis accurately toss his dagger, the half Orc turn his head with a scream and pulls the dagger from his temple, he collapses immediately, lifeless on the ground.

Korbryn growls low in his throat, ignoring the sting from the axe wound. Seeing the brute crumple to the ground, the mighty dwarf turns his attention to the nearby gnolls. He aims a mighty side strike at thr first, hoping to cut him down, and his companion as well.
