While Darkstar frees his "cousins," Tarrin sets his sights on the revealed Gnoll priest...and calls forth his magic. And then things get crazy! Hoping to encircle the priest with an illusory wall of fire, the wild magic instead feels the familiar surge and a the priest is staggered by a charm spell!
Save vs. spell: Rolling 1d20 + 1 (6) + 1 = 7 Dammit!
As the priest suddenly looks upon the hill and spies his new "master," the big Gnoll is trying desperately to stay alive. But Greystone's blade flashes and takes the Gnoll's right arm off at the shoulder. (8 pts) The Gnoll screams and grabs the stump of his arm, blood spurting between its claws. It opens its mouth to scream again, jerks backward, and an arrowhead protrudes out of its mouth...courtesy of Darkstar! (7 pts - max damage on a "20")
The big Gnoll falls forward and dies...and the battle ends.
Wood hugs Cumber...and then she hugs Darkstar....still naked as the day she was born, but not caring at all. "The Lady sent you! Else we would be dead!" Wood says, her eyes flooded with tears that drip down onto the claw marks on her chest.
"Indeed...we owe you...our lives." Cumber manages to say through swollen lips, breathing hard, wincing in pain.
"Who are...your new...friends?"
Alright fellers > quick post, but effective. You have killed, charmed, or run off all the Gnolls (will add XP in a few), rescued Cumber and Wood, and teamed up with potentially new companions. Role-play it out! Oh, and Johsen and Oggle made their saves and are not entangled but will be a few rounds working their way through the vines and briars.
