Aileen's fails to uproot the gnoll, but does provide enough distraction for Falcon to drive her edged blade into her frame. She yelps in pain as she falls to the ground in a pool of blood. Her fall makes the other gnolls more fearful now, and despite the barking from their matriarch, they slowly pull back. Without the others support, the matriarch begins to rethink her methods, her growls becoming snarls of disgust. It was clear falcon had done more than strike down one of their better warriors, she had stricken their moral as well.<br/>Out of harms way, Tearsong quickly casts a healing spell upon Embry, which was enough to bring her to consciousness.<br/><br/>[OOC: The gnolls are withdrawing, you can chase them down and continue the fight, or you can allow them to retreat. Either way, you get a full XP reward (800+800 more for completing the assignment). Sorry for the long delay, I hope we can keep this going.<br/>Tearsong casts cure light wounds, heals 9, but for the sake of roleplay I'll assume Embry is at least back to 1hp. (I normally don't like to control PC actions, but I want this game to continue.]<br/>
