The gnoll hears you coming... but too late. You have to give it points for dedication... even as you bear down on it, it reaches for the horn at its hip rather than turning to flee. It doesn't make it in time, or course, but it gets the "A" for effort...<br/><br/>Again, the strike only takes a split second, and you are standing over the body of the dead gnoll's body. A quick look and listen of the surrounding area reveals that he, too, is alone... and probably a good distance away from the main body of the camp, if he needed the horn to give a call out.<br/><br/>Again, you press forward. Ten, twenty, thirty minutes pass... and finally you see a break in the trees.
