Now they were used to the standard Gnoll, knew more or less how many hits it took to drop one, so they were getting a bit confident they could take the raiders down.Only the next party that came after them was made up of half a dozen or so Gnoll Rangers, level 2, dual-wielding longswords. The elven archer starts plucking an arrow into a couple of them during the round where both parties were aware of each other and moving in. The surprise on the party members' faces when the Gnolls didn't drop was priceless.Since the raiders moved in immediately charging on camel-back, the party had a LOT of trouble. The wizard was taken out when he used Fly to get up and get a better perspective... critical hits from a longbow can HURT. One of the fighters was being taken apart, and was killed by a fellow party member who missed a bowshot into melee.Since that experience, they've learned to be careful of weaker creatures, and saying "creatures with class levels" is enough to make them panic <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
