The last gnoll standing is met with many blades and before he can react to the new threats he is cut down. The victory is cut short by more gnolls bounding around the corner, many more. Eight total, three of them seem to be female. They each carry a weapon of sorts, the males carry spears, swords, and morningstars, the females have bucklers and sinister looking falchions. Upon the small shields is a depiction of a jackal head with three eyes.<br/>One of the females raises her falchion, pointing it toward the group of adventurers. She makes a low growling sound and yells a foreign, gutteral sounding words to the others. Whatever was said seems to put them in a frenzy.<br/>Two young, but quick, gnolls are the first to leap forward with morningstars firmly in hand. They rush recklessly towards Embry and she easily evades the first attack, but the second gnoll catches her with his blunt weapon. The strike was much weaker than she expected, but it was still painful.<br/><br/>[OOC: Embry takes four points of damage from the gnoll's morningstar.<br/>Six gnolls have filled up the other side of the hall, about ten feet away. Two gnolls are next to Embry and can be flanked with little effort. The hallway is getting pretty crowded at this point.]
