Ruby feels torn between helping the family to safety and helping the towns guards. "Go across the bridge! We´ll be right behind you!"She says to the family as she loads her crossbow, waiting for them to safely cross before turning her attention to the fight.
The clouds briefly part and the bridge is illuminated my moonlight. In that moment you see the figures on the bridge are Gnolls! Eight hulking forms that hold their position in the middle of the bridge. None of the others seem to have noticed the danger. You also see 2 more Gnolls lurking on rooftops near the lone town guardsman.
"Yes, wait here Clara, we'll just deal with these miscreants first." Elwyn says and readies his wand to blasts away at the gnolls attacking the town guardsmen. Elwyn initiative: 8

All - The Gnolls hear you calling out to one another and one turns to see you all approaching. You also see two more gnoll atop the roofs of nearby buildings with longbows drawn. Clara and Olin stop heading for the bridge and instead disappear down a street out of view.
Ariana will run at the nearest gnoll and attack with her quarterstaff, forgetting Wake's words of advice to attack from a distance. She'll position herself so that, at least for now, she is only in melee with the one she's attacking. She also kicks the same gnoll in the knee.
Kulogall casts Mage Armor and as a bonus action, flies 10 feet to the side, moves to take cover behind the corner of a wagon or building, away from the archers and readying a spell. "The archers! Watch out for the archers!" he cries.

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
With the chaos unfolding around you, you can not quite see or hear what Xolo sees or hears, but you get the sense that he is being honest about what he has said.
Ruby will shoot the gnoll attacking the guard. "Hey ugly! Look this way!" She shouts, hoping to take it's attention and possibly shooting it in an eye.
"How did you two ger up there? Get down immediately." Elwyn shouts, places his hex on one of the archers and sends a beam of blue crackling force towards it. He then tries to find as much cover as possible in the terrain.
Bonus action: Place Hex, dex, on Gnoll Hunter 2 Action: Eldritch blast: 16 Force: 7 Necrotic: 5 Movement: Into maximum cover from archers.

Elwyn - The eldritch blast smacks the Gnoll in the face and it yelps in pain. You may post an action for Azure if you'd like, otherwise he will stay perched on your shoulder.
The Town Guardsman will thrust at one of the Gnolls in front of it. The spear gouges the Gnoll and it is looking rather hurt.
Target - Gnoll: 2
Attack: 10 Damage: 5
Gnoll 1 will attempt to jab Wake with its spear. It deals him a mighty blow as it finds a gap in his armor and shoves the spear inside.
Attack: 23 Damage: 6
Gnoll Hunter 2 will fire its longbow down upon Ruby and Ariana. Ruby dodges the arrow but Ariana is not so lucky. The arrow catches her in the upper chest, knocking her shoulder back and punching out the other side.

As a reaction, Ariana deflects the missile, negating 8 damage.
Despite the lower damage, she turns and glares at the gnoll who shot at her. Without breaking her glare, she wheels her quarterstaff around and hits the gnoll she was already attacking. Finally, she breaks her glare and kicks the nearest gnoll in the head.
Ariana - With a perfectly timed palm strike you push the arrow aside. It slams into the ground behind you with a THUNK. Your kick breaks the neck of Gnoll 3 and it crumples to the ground.
Gnoll 3 is DEAD.
Kulogall is up! Followed by Gnoll 2, then Wake. The two tokens with gray outlines on the rooftops are the Gnoll Hunters.

“HALT! THE GNOLLS HAVE THE BRIDGE!” Wake yells to the front of the line.
”Hide the non-combatants!”
Nowhere to run, guess this is a good night to meet Selune, in person. Wake thinks as his mind switches to prayers.

Ariana - Both attacks hit the Gnoll in quick succession, THWACK THWACK. It yelps in pain and turns its furious gaze upon you.
Kulogall - What is your Readied spell?
Gnoll 2 will continue to hound the man with its spear. It manages to penetrate his defenses and pierce his shoulder.

Attack: 11 Damage: 3
Wake is up! Followed by Ruby, then Gnoll Hunter 1.
