Pondering the best tactical approach, Erel suggested to the group that they lure the scouts into the building, and up a flight of stairs, ambushing them when their group was either all on the stairs, or split between floors. The narrow confines would limit their ability to fight, and putting most of the group above them would give an advantage at fighting the gnolls coming up. Erel would volunteer to remain on the ground floor, to provide the anvil to their hammer.
