"Rose, dear, I'm afraid that these mongrel-dogs would likely be able to smell me, even if I were invisible. And fast as I might be, I don't think I can reach any of them fast enough. On the other hand, you might get a chance to see how good I am with my shortbow if I am not invisible! Let's just fire away at them from the back of the cart." With that, she grabs up her quiver and bow and takes aim from the rear of the cart at the hyena mount closest to them. (H3)

For Roots turn, know that so far, nothing has died.

Root will say his farewells to the travelers wishing them a safe journey. Root begins to settle in as he does he starts to dream of his village then the sudden shout of Rose wakes him up.

Root will rush over to the wagon for cover as the arrows begin to fly. 

Rose, seeing that Fallan was gonna do her own thing, speaks all but the final word on a spell, holding it in anticipation of one foolish enough to approach, whichever it would be first. Bell waking up swiftly with an odd spring in her step, only to be foiled by blankets at-least temporarily... makes it up, scooting out of the tent and placing her body against the cool rock. Takign a moment to get stock of the situation, before deciding that the wand she had found in the mine so long ago was likely her best option, trying to turn the distance into an advantage as a salvo of black missiles fly out, homing in perfectly on their targets.

Likely much to Bells chagrin, despite this, not a single creature fell despite the barrage of force. Fallan makes a semi-valid point to Rose as she tenses her bow, needing to wait until they got a bit closer to not be at disadvantage due to distance, luckily they were very likely to comply. Root rushes to the cart to gain cover as well atleast from one side, unfortunately the ones with bows were circling and that cover would quickly become irrelevant.

The three on hyena's circle around counter clockwise, heading north and staying out of easy range, taking full advantage of their mobility and range advantage. H1 & 3 still armed with bows and arrows swing around the group, moving 50 feet each in a circular fashion but this puts the tent in between them and most of the group except 3 who fires another round at the cart, hoping to hit someone by chance. The attack missing, but if not for the cart, it would have sunk into her chest, but instead, sinks into the wood. 

However, the Gnoll reloads swiftly, and apparently the angle is significantly better as the arrow pierces her  throat, clean through. It just barely missing the most vital portions, but now Fallan has a hole through her neck and is bleeding for (1d4 bleeding) per round until healed for atleast 2 or more health, and has trouble speaking and breathing.

H2 effectively disarmed atleast at range, moves in, getting within range of both Fallan and Roses attacks, Fallans attack having fired just moments before the arrow had struck her, as Rose unleashes her spell on it. Fallans arrow hitting it in the thigh, while it cried out in pain both from the sudden piercing, and the loud ringign noise it heard forcing it to fold its ears back, to no avail as their hypersensitivity became a negative. Unfortunately, this wasn't enough to fell it as it began swapping to its glaive, likely stolen from another unfortunate person.

The remaining gnolls all dash, but the two slobbering ones move with unparalleled speed as they Dash towards the camp, not wanting to bother with those in the cart, making it almost all the way in. The other gnolls do as well, still in their oddly intelligent formation.

Party is up, nothing has died. Fallan is 'bleeding out' and the gnolls are almost within range to be deadly as a pack. Will update battlemap in a bit with color.

After getting his bearings Root will shout out to Bell!  “Bell keep focusing on those riders.” Not waiting for a response Root take a deep breath, heat begins to generate around his throat. Sulfur and fire begin to leak out of his mouth. Like a dragon Root rushes forward like a red blur unleashing fire on the gnolls now I front of him.

Rose goes wide eyes st seeing the arrow go through Fallans next. Instinctively she goes to put pressure on the wound and calm down her friend saying Don't worry you're going to be fine its okay just hold still! Rose then begins the process of carefully removing the arrow while casting cure wounds to control and eventually stop the bleeding.

CW: 11

 Seeing the healing light come from the wagon, she trusts that Rose is tending to Fallan, and sets her eyes to the enemy again.  The wand effectively spent, she drops it to the ground (intent on retrieving it later) and draws her longbow. (Shield is not equipped btw, AC is 19) Nocking an arrow and holding a second prepped in her grip, she takes aim at one of the riders, and lets an arrow fly.

 Root rushes out to meet the gnolls in the middle of their charge, likely much to their surprise, illuminating the area around his mouth like a candle until his breath weapon is released, where the night sky temporarily lights up with a brilliant flash of light like a flashbang grenade as it flows out. Though lacking in power due to Root running first before firing, G1 managed to dodge most of the effect while the rest get caught up in the blast, the hyena mount worst of all. 

H2  and its mount also get caught by the very corner of the blast. The hyena dies instantly, fumbling over and sending its spear-wielding rider flying like a person in a car crash, flying 5 feet further out, and taking some damage from the tumble, but somehow, he's still not dead as he lies face first on the ground. The other gnolls are still standing as well, though some are worse for wear than others as they growl around the prey that presented itself before them. 

In the cart,  Rose quickly takes charge of the situation, a sickly 'Guh...' being heard when the arrow was removed but then soon promptly healed by Rose's ministrations as selune shown brighter as if to signal that selune's power itself was flowing into Fallan's body to heal her of her grave injury before it even became a problem.  T-Thank you Rose! I feel fit as a fido.. fiddle. You know what I mean!

Taking aim at H1 Bell lets an arrow fly, and it misses. The speed and distance throwing her off, but her followup is much better aimed, as it sinks directly into the creatures neck, and it rolls off its mount, dead moments later.

Fallan takes just a moment to literally catch her breath now that an arrow wasn't blocking her ability to breathe and the wound had been closed perfectly, she takes another arrow and knocking it, she decides to take full advantage of the chance Root gave her, and sends an arrow at one of the now distracted Gnolls but still manages to overshoot her target as the arrow lands uselessly in the dirt.

However Root quickly finds himself surrounded by the enemy, and all but G1 seem to care about him, G1 choosing instead to hit the Satyr. 

With root, a serious frenzy of blows comes his way, but he's ready for it. Dodging both spear attacks from the Gnolls, Both of the rabid looking ones try to take a bite out of him but miss, sending in their swords next, both only manage to get in a single hit each. The powerful looking Gnoll bears no weapons, his teeth clacking against air where Root was moments ago, and misses with one claw, but his followup claw manages to pierce Roots flesh/scales a bit.

To everyone else, they simply watch a dance they likely didn't expect from Root, and though he takes a few blows, he manages to avoid the mass majority of the onslaught despite limited room, and being surrounded. 

G1 however has a bone to pick with bell instead.. and despite bells distraction, she manages to avoid the blow as the spear is about to go through her spleen.

Rose however, hears growling and running coming from the backside of the cart as a Hyena just a few feet away is about to run and jump into the cart.

H3, the last of the remaining mounted Gnolls see's Bell through the gap, and takes aim while the window is still there, letting two arrows fly - It seems that H3 was the only one not slacking on his bow skills as both arrows, despite cover and angles manage to hit Bell solidly. One in her upper left thigh, and another directly in her gut.

Party is up. Bell has a DAO vs G1, and Root may take a DAO against ONE of the attackers. H2 is prone on the ground.

Bell fires off a DAO at G1 before dropping her bow and drawing her rapier.  The satyr then disappears into a cloud of mist, reappearing at M9 and advancing on the prone H2, taking the opportunity to strike the downed creature.

Movement to n11

Rose helps Fallan back up and into the fight as the wound finishes healing saying See good as new! Turning to see the Hyena looking her way Rose hops down. Warhammer drawn, and before charging it she says to Fallan Call out if you need me again, I'm gonna go play with our friend here!  Rose then charges the hyena, Warhammer swing out in front of her. If she can get close enough to attack she will and then follow up by casting sanctuary on herself. If Rose cannot get close enough to attack she will just cast sanctuary.

Attack: 17 Damage: 7

 Surrounded Root will ball up his fist, looking around he swings his fists at the weakest looking one. Then going back on the defensive, dodging attacks!

 "Wow, Thanks!" Fallan tries to say to Rose, only to see her hop out of the cart. Seeing Rose running toward the circling boss Hyena, Fallan determines to return the favor of assistance and drops her short bow to the floor of the cart with a clatter. Extending her arms just to the side of her hips, the familiar glowing, mystical daggers appear in each hand. She turns in the cart in the direction of her healer. Fighting the urge to hurry an attack, she waits, hearing her heartbeat in her ears and feeling the warmth of the healed wound in her neck. Once Rose is within 5 feet of the beast, able to swing her Warhammer, Fallan throws one of the daggers as the Hyena is distracted by the other vicious halfling, in hopes of surprising it. "Don't mess with halflings!" she shouts.

Bell makes a feint shot at G1 before performing a small flurry of followup actions,  dissappearing, and reappearing a distance away...taking advantage of  the prone Gnoll as she stabs it through the neck, a squelched death gurgle tells her it i in fact dead, causing her to then turn around, and stab G2 from behind, sliding cleanly between its ribs, and though it doesn't die, it does let out a pained yelp that was nearly a warble. 

Rose hops out of the cart with the fury of a thousand midgets screaming 'eeeeee' as she brings her hammer down on its head with twice the force needed to kill it. Its brains coating the dirt now as it's skull caved in like a souffle in an opera. Soon after, a crescent moon flashes and Rose becomes warded by selune's power against at-least some attacks as her Sanctuary spell takes hold. 

Root watches Bells rapier pierce the howling Hyenoid and tries to take advantage of it, but  misses horribly, and in his panic he overextends himself, and panics as he loses his state of balance he had moments before.

Fallan goes after the Gnoll boss, since Rose easily took care of the basic 5 hp Hyena, and it was the only other target mentioned. Charging towards the small army of hyena-humanoids with her dagger(s) ready, she takes advantage of the gnoll bosses distraction, piercing it's back with incredible force, but unlike the other one it hardly seems to flinch, if anything it only seems to be pissed off.

 G2 turns to face bell who had stabbed him moments ago, with a pained, yet furious expression, Lunging at her with his spear, intent on penetrating her (giggity). However, sensing his shaft coming, Bell dodges it like an STD, batting the thing aside with her palm.

G1 and 3 see that Root is off balance, and try to skewer him before he can recover. However, despite his predicament, he just barely manages to dodge those two blows. F1/2 ignore Bell (if only because they didn't know she was back there) for the weak prey in front of them, and another barrage of attacks comes Root's way, this time most of them landing, and all but a single bite and seord slash connecting for a total of (14) damage to Root. Luckily, Fallan had drawn the ire of the crazed looking powerful gnoll, or this might have been the end of Root.

The insane looking gnoll faces Fallan now, who had just stabbed it in the back, it's eyes glowed with hatred, and fury, and she sensed something positively demonic about it. it bared its teeth and growled.. but in her sudden panic, she managed to evade all of its blows even as blood and spittle rained around her.

The hunter seemed to take aim at Rose but for some reason it couldn't fire.

Party is up, Bell gets a DAO VS G2, Fallan gets a DAO vs Y. Root can't take an action this round. Rose is alone with a dead normal hyena. Root is looking VERY worse for wear with 3 HP.

Moving with the moment of her dodge, Bell spins and takes a stab at G2.  She then looks quickly over Root, worried for his injuries, but seeing Rose with sanctuary up, Bell hopes she can take care of healing him.  She flicks her rapier out towards F2 once, and again if he's still up, switching her target to F1 if it happens to go down.  She then looks towards the larger angry Knoll leader, and recites a short incantation, declaring herself it's sole enemy.  "Big fella's mine!"

Rose looks up at the hunter ahead of her before looking back to see Root looking pretty haggard. With a casual salute the hunters way as she saw he.was unable to attack through her protection Rose turns to run towards her ally. Rose gets behind the rock near Root, using both the rock and tent as cover (i10) before stopping to focus on a spell if vitality. After a short prayer to selune Rose's body begins to glow faintly as an Aura of Healing  surrounds her and spreads out around her for 30ft. Focusing the healing energy on Root he feels his wounds begin to close as he has filled with renewed energy.

Action: cast aura of vitality.

Ba: heal Root 6

 Quickly reaching in to take a stab with her psychic dagger as the boss slobbers and attempts to move away, Fallan strikes before hearing Bell's claim to "the big guy". Shaking her head in amazement, but willing to defer to her "protectors", she disengages. "Ok, he's yours. We'll handle the others" she calls. Looking for the closest living enemy other than the boss, she rushes to attack (G1, G3, or F2) with both of her weapons.

G2 Crumpes to the ground soundlessly as she pierced its throat, making it unable to voice its agony aside from gurgles and spittle. And deciding not to let her momentum cease, as well as killsteal from everyone else, she manages a dual flurry of strikes that cause the rabid gnoll to first falter, then simply fall to the ground, bleeding out from two holes as it kicks on the ground, dying to death. Only to then taunt the big bad boss of the gnoll pack that had chosen to attack them. The gnolls unfortunately aren't able to figure out she's the one healing.

Still recovering his balance, Root finally gets his footing back, unfortunately it's too late to do anything this turn.

Rose, glowing with the symbol of the crescent moon above her head, is now walking and the moon itself seems to be beaming light, centered on her as a thirty foot light emits from her as if she were in some searchlight. Healing Root for some of the damage he had taken moments ago. Only to then hide herself from the rest. Unfortunately for Bell, the demonic gnoll ignores her pathetic attempt at a taunt, as it has a halfling to shred.

The halfling however manages to deliver several very strong blows to G1, the Gnoll finally falling to the final bit of damage, as blood pools on the ground from multiple wounds.

True to form, as the demonic gnoll ignores Bells taunts, it seems to be almost homing in on Fallan at this point, smelling something on her... and now with her not looking, it decided to lunge.. in a sense.. Though it's jaws miss, and its first slice does too, the followup finiale manages to claw her directly across her face, dragging jagged, bloody lines across it. 

G3 see's that the tide isn't favorable to them any longer and starts to flee north. Disengaging from combat.

F1 watches F2 fall,  and goes into even more of a rage, Turning on the one who caused it, and charges at Bell, managing to bite off a portion of her cheek, and eat it in front of her, though Bell still manages to avoid the two shortsword attacks that come after.

H3 watches as G3 starts to run, but still confident in it's sheer speed and range, continues its circle, choosing to aim at the target that didn't make it feel funny instead, since every time he thought of aiming at Rose, he got a strange tingle.. His arrow flying swiftly, piercing through Fallans ear, but otherwise continuing on.

Party is up. Fallan has a DAO against Y, and Bell has a DAO against F2. One enemy is fleeing the fight, most enemies are dead. 

 Reeling from the last attack Root will stand up. Seeing Fallan getting attack Root will attack the beast from behind unleashing a flurry of attacks!

Bell attempts to take down the knoll that bit her, focusing each attack on him until he's down, any subsequent attacks going at the leader.
