Tearsong quickly returns the young gnoll to the ground, rendering it unconscious.<br/>Aileen is able to grab Embry and pull her back away from direct harm.<br/>Falcon is unable to land a solid strike.<br/>The second young gnoll tries to strike Aileen as she moves back with Embry, with a harmless, glancing blow. It tries again to land a hit on Falcon, but it misses wide. Finding his luck fleeting, he makes a hasty retreat back, but puts himself at risk.<br/>The other gnolls carefully advance in. The male holding the spear ducks behind the corner and snatches up the grounded, younger gnoll. He pulls it back while his allies press forward.<br/>Two of the females approach Falcon, blades firmly in hand. The first attempts to cut Falcon, but pulls back the strike at the last moment out of caution. The slightly shorter female, however, does run the edge of her sword down Falcon's side. A powerful slash, to be sure.<br/>The remaining female calls out something in their native language, which comes across more like a series of growls than words. She seems to be the leader of this attack, and from her muscled build and fierceness it comes as no real surprise.<br/><br/>OOC:<br/>I'm assuming you wanted to move Embry back out of danger. It's a move action to move a heavy object, which in this situation seems close enough. Even going half movement, you could drag her back to K2, which seems furthest from immediate harm. It'll take two move actions to do this, one to reach her and another to move her back. If you'd rather move her to another square, let me know.<br/>Falcon takes eight points of damage from the female gnoll's falchion. Falcon also gets an AOO on the second young gnoll as it moves away.<br/>I'll post a new map with the next round. It's your actions again.<br/>Aileen: K2<br/>Falcon: L4<br/>Embry: K2 (unconscious)<br/>Tearsong: K3<br/>Gnoll 1: J5 (Young gnoll with morningstar.
