You spot movement in the thicket, moving in your direction. As you draw a breath to shoit out, an arrow whistles past Six’s ear and shatters on the rocks. Two bestial figures, armed with longbows and spears leap to their feet and begin to charge, roughly 60 feet from you. They are clad in crude hide armour that looks like it was scavenged from a dozen different garbage heaps, and their cruel hyena faces are twisted with hunger as they advance. Sinsil will recognise them as gnolls.
Ashanti and Alkyn- These rabbits are ok, but not enough for five hungry bellies. Moving silently, you circle around and approach the pool from the east, approaching from downwind. You peek over a fallen tree, and freeze. A giant hyena, shoulders almost as tall as a humans is lapping from the pool barely 15 feet from you. The stench of rotting flesh rising from it is revolting, but it doesn’t seem to be aware of you yet.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Six hisses as the arrow whistles past his ear, flattening it against his head. "Don't let them get the horses," he calls to the other two, unsheathing his sword and holding it aloft, moving forward to intercept the charging gnolls.

"Aim to kill they plan to eat us!" Sinsil well cast minor illusion to make it appear as if the rock the arrow struck begins to stir, and she will turn with a worried look on her face toward it as suit stands up into what looks like an elemental.
Alkyn watches in dismay as his companion runs past the enormous creature and into the water, Not a place I can follow, he thinks.
Hoping that the distraction will focus the attention of the hyena, he continues his stealthy movement, heading back the way he came. (( Was there any defensible position -- a crack/crevice in the rocks, a cave etc he saw on the way? ))
The huge Hyena snarls and snaps at the water where Ashanti disappeared, trying to find her. He seems reluctant to enter the water, dancing back and forth at the pool's edge. You think you can get up a tree, but there isn't much other cover around.

The first Gnoll draws and looses another arrow at Six
Attack: 23 Damage: 12
, before spotting the pile of stones beginning to move. He screams and begins to sprint towards the horses, clearly trying to snag one and escape. The other is clearly blind or insane, because it doesn't react to the illusory creature and begins sprinting towards Tristan, spear held high (Taking the dash action)

Six moves to intercept the gnoll going for the horses, reaching out to grab it's shoulder and casting inflict wounds. "No you don't," he growls, tail lashing behind him.
The gnoll lashes out with the haft of it's spear and blocks your hand, the necrotic energy crackling before dissipating. It lets out a high, yipping laugh and specks of drool hang from it's jaws.

Tristan shouts at the creature rushing him "Cmon you oversize giggling mutt!" With a flick of his wrist, two shots ring out. (Action surge and the first will be a disarming shot, trying to rid him of his spear.)
Attack 1: 18 Damage: 7 Attack: 22 Damage: 7
DC 13 Str save or he must drop his spear and have it flung 10ft behind him.

The shots roar out, the first catching in in a weak point of his armour in the middle of his chest. He staggers a few more steps, before the second blast catches him in the shoulder and hurls him to the ground, twitching.
Alkyn, you can hear the loud bangs from the hilltop as you put distance between yourself and the Giant Hyena, who seems momentarily distracted from trying to kill whatever it thinks is in the pool.
Sinsil creates another minor illusion of the earth between the horses and the Gnoll churning and the elemental forming there with the sounds of shifting debris and a rumble like a tiny earthquake.
As you break from the trees, you see the remaining gnoll beginning to flee, leaving his companion for dead (six will get an attack of opportunity). He is taking the dash action.
The giant hyena is swept off his feet in the suddenly deeper water, his furious snarls becoming frightened yelps. He is struggling to make his way back to solid ground.

Initiative if needed: 18

She broke cover and ran forward diving into the pool down to the bottom.
Tristan lets out an inhuman roar, drawing his gun.

We'll roll initiative, and play it from there.

Pale Gnoll- 20

The water of the pools surface rose up and began weaving back and forth in serpentine shapes to distract the beast and keep it focused on her.
Shape Water.
Nice move. Alkyn continues to retreat.
Six is up!
The Giant Hyena lunges towards the moving shapes, snapping at the water and ending up with his front legs in the pool.

Back up to Sinsil!

Sinsil creates another minor illusion of the earth between the horses and the Gnoll churning and the elemental forming there with the sounds of shifting debris and a rumble like a tiny earthquake.
As the huge animals paws entered the water Ashanti summoned her power and the pools surface level suddenly rose alarmingly around the hyena.
Create Water.
Alkyn continues up the hill. Ashanti seems more than capable. What of the others? He moves as quickly as he can until he gets near the sounds.
As you break from the trees, you see the remaining gnoll beginning to flee, leaving his companion for dead (six will get an attack of opportunity). He is taking the dash action.
The giant hyena is swept off his feet in the suddenly deeper water, his furious snarls becoming frightened yelps. He is struggling to make his way back to solid ground.
