Quickly sizing up the situation, Lanoros directs Phantom to move around to the east. He then pulls out his longbow and quickly adjusting for the strong tail wind (-4 to hit) sends an arrow flying directly at the Gnoll (Type 2) ] GFC#3] directly in front of him doing 11 points of damage. The Gnoll, slavering, pulls the arrow out and flings it to the ground as it rushes (Dash) towards Redleaf. Its mates (?) slavering, rush (Dash) towards Lanoros. The other Gnolls unlimber their long bows, and a veritable arrow storm descends on the party. However, the Gnolls fail to account for the strong headwind and despite three (3) arrows landing close to Gotrek, and two (2) arrows landing close to Cole - all miss. Three further single arrows all miss Lanoros, Polly and Tibold; two wildly.
Thromkor you’re up followed by Polly, Cole, Gotrek, Tibold & Redleaf.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Thromkor hurries up beside Cole (one square above; 60' from the line of archers). He begins waving his free hand in an intricate pattern while the other lifts his ebony staff. The orb on top glows and two shards of ice quickly form in front of the dragonborn. With a final flick of his wrist, the shards are propelled toward the line of archers.

Thromkor hurries up beside Cole. He begins waving his free hand in an intricate pattern while the other lifts his ebony staff. The orb on top glows and two shards of ice quickly form in front of him. With a final flick of his wrist, the shards are accurately propelled toward the line of archers. Just as the first ice shard hits GH 1 doing 9 points of damage it explodes and showers GH 1, GH 2 & GH 3 in smaller but equally sharp pieces of ice inflicting a further 8 points of damage on GH 1 & GH 3, while GH 2 nimbly dodges out of the way of these smaller ice shards. Simultaneously another ice shard hits GH 3 and does 13 points of damage and it throws its arms up in the air collapsing to the ground. As with the other shard this also explodes showering GH 1, GH 3’s body and GPL in smaller but equally sharp pieces of ice inflicting a further 13 points of damage on GH 1. GH 1 throws its arms up in the air and collapses whilst GPL manages to nimbly doge out of the way.
Polly you’re up followed by Cole, Gotrek, Tibold & Redleaf.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Polly unsheathes his rapier, "Oh my sweet, it's been too long since you've seen blood," He kisses the slender blade-an image made even more disturbing with his curved beak. He clicks his heels, then charges towards the closest gnoll, disengaging after he makes contact.
"The gods just keep on giving!" Gotrek chuckles, building up his inner fire (bonus action - rage), as he charges GFC 3 Great Axe in hand, manic grin on face.
As the Gnoll runs away Redleaf lashes out with her Warhammer striking it solidly in the back (9 bludgeoning damage) "Not so fast demon spawn"
Redleaf turns her attention towards the gnolls still near her and grabs the mistletoe hanging from her neck and says a few words in Druidic, a moment later grasping weeds and vines sprout from the ground all around the gnolls in front of her.
From a height of 15’ Polly dives on the Gnoll nearest him (GFC-1) but in his enthusiasm not only does he miss, he comes very close to stabbing his rapier into the ground (crtical fail). He then uses his Cunning Action (bonus action) to disengage and fly back up to a height of 15’ above the Gnoll (GFC-1).
Cole then steps up next to the Gnoll (GFC -1) that Polly just swooped. He swings his club but misses, however he follows this with an elbow strike to the Gnoll’s left knee followed by a kick to the same area; both hit for a total of 11 points of damage.
Seeing the Gnolls rush towards the party, Gotrek chuckles to himself "The gods just keep on giving!"and then building up his inner fire (bonus action - rage), he charges towards the closest Gnoll (GFC - 3) with his Great Axe in hand and a manic grin on face. He swings mightily and hits but fortunately for the Gnoll, its Studded Leather absorbs the blow and Gotrek’s swing does no damage.
Tibold then steps forward, directly behind Lanoros and adjacent to Thromkor, all the time cheerily whistling at Gnoll directly in front of Lanoros (GFC-2). The notes he whistles obviously hurt its ears as it takes 11 points of damage. In order to get away from the noise, it turns and runs to the South. However as it does so, Redleaf takes a step and swings her Warhammer, saying "Not so fast demon spawn" as she hits it solidly in the back doing 9 points of damage dropping it to the ground.
Redleaf then her attention towards the Gnolls still near her and grabbing the mistletoe hanging from her neck says a few words in Druidic. A moment later grasping weeds and vines sprout from the ground all around the two Gnolls in front of her.
Lanoros and Phantom - you're up next at the beginning of Round 2 followed by the Gnolls, then Thromkor.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Lanoros will whistle and look towards Phantom. Phantom will move towards GFC 1 and us a claw attack and pounce and bite as a bonus action.
pounce: Pounce. If the panther moves at least 20 feet straight toward a creature and then hits it with a claw attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a DC 12 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, the panther can make one bite attack against it as a bonus action.
GFC 1 makes a dc 12 strength save
Claw Attack: 24 Damage: 6

Lanoros summons Phantom to attack the Gnoll (GFC-1). If a cat could glare it does so at Lanoros for asking to attack through difficult terrain (green square on map is zone of entanglement) which slows it down. However Phantom does manage to leap at the Gnoll and knock it to ground, doing 7 points of damage, which allows him to bite and worry its neck doing a further 8 points of further damage. Although gravely wounded the Gnoll manages to get to its feet.
The other Gnoll (GFC-3) gibbers and yips as it looks at Gotrek and Redleaf trying to decide who to attack. Eventually it launches itself at Redleaf and successfully bites her for 3 points of damage. It then decides to attack Gotrek with its short swords. First it stabs him in the upper arm for three points of damage, however because he is in a rage Gotrek barely notices the damage and only takes 1 point of damage. The Gnoll then follows up his first successful attack with a second strike that goes low and stabs Gotrek in the thigh for five points of damage. Again because of his rage, Gotrek barely notices this attack and only takes 2 points of damage.
Not wanting to be left out of a kill, the other two Gnolls rush forward using Dash movement. The first one (GH -2) does not notice the entangled zone (green square) until it is too late, but he manages to fight his way through the plants and almost manages to get to Lanoros. The second Gnoll (GPL) notices the entangled zone and manages to avoid it allowing it to get to Gotrek where it stands catching its breath.
Thromkor you're up followed by Polly, Cole, Gotrek & Tibold (simultaneous) and Redleaf
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Thromkor lifts his ebony staff into the air with both hands and speaks a few words in Draconic. The staff's orb flashes and a frigid beam of blue-white light streaks toward GFC-1.
Redleaf curses the Elder Gods in Druidic for failing to entangle her enemies and let's go the concentration holding the spell together, the weeds and vines covering the area begin to wilt and disappear as she grabs her mistletoe one more time and begins chanting.

Polly once again swoops down at the Gnoll, guiding his rapier straight for it's throat. After impact, he uses his cunning action (disengage) to return to his previous altitude.
Cursing in dwarvish, turns and charges full pelt at Gnoll Type 1 (GPL), hitting him with his shoulder (Bonus Action: Spiked Armour Attack- Reckless), before wildly swing his Great-Axe (Action: Attack - Reckless).
Thromkor lifts his ebony staff into the air with both hands and speaks a few words in Draconic. The staff's orb flashes and a frigid beam of blue-white light streaks toward the Gnoll that was standing in front of Cole (GFC-1) doing 7 points of damage. Ice forms all over the Gnoll’s chest, it spins around and collapses to the ground.
Polly swoops down on the Gnoll (GH-2) that is currently fighting its way through the bushes and vines created by Redleaf’s Entangle spell, like a mockingbird (or magpie) defending its nest. The swish of his wings causes the Gnoll to look up briefly but that is all. Polly then uses his Cunning Action (bonus action) to disengage and fly back up to a height of 15’ above Phantom.
Cole steps in front of Lanoros and swings his club at the Gnoll’s (GH-2) kneecap, hits and causes 6 points of damage. The Gnoll is still standing but unsteady on its feet.
Cursing in dwarvish, Gotrek turns and recklessly tries to shoulder charge the Gnoll (GPL) in front of him whilst swinging his Great Axe. The Gnoll manages to deftly step aside from the shoulder charge but fails to avoid the swinging axe which Gotrek manages to bury deeply into the Gnoll’s shoulder before wrenching it free having done 10 points of damage.
Tibold mutters quietly as he hurries past Redleaf, stopping between her and Gotrek. His hands begin to glow with a faint light.
Redleaf curses the Elder Gods in Druidic for failing to entangle her enemies and as she lets go the concentration holding the spell together, the weeds and vines covering the area begin to wilt and disappear. She then grabs her mistletoe one more time and begins chanting. A silvery beam of pale light breaks through the clouds and shines down on the Gnoll (GFC-3). Despite the Gnoll’s twists and turns it is unable to avoid the full impact of the moonbeam and takes 5 points of damage.

Tibold glances calmly at GFC 2, apparently whistling cheerily. The sound reaches the gnoll's ears, but it is distorted and painful to hear.
