Seeing the gnoll harassing Spectrum, he uses the tents as cover in order to get in position for another quick strike from behind if the opportunity presents itself.
Looks like Old Galstak was on the hairy edge of expiring.
Toks two healings bring me back to conciousness.
Galstak is going to attempt to trip the Flind.
Trip:
Galstak your action is before Toks so I take it you are going to delay action another thing you are prone and will have to stand [Move action.] witch would provoke an aoo from the gnoll probably knocking you back down again. just to let you know :)
Didn't realize the status of Tok in the order. I will have to wait. I am unconcious otherwise.
As far as the trip, I was planning to trip from the prone position. If that will not be allowed I will try something else.
That is allowed yes Galstak but will still provoke an aoo and will be at -4 penalty to hit.
Talking is a free action.
On his turn, Aksum will maintain Inspire Courage (for the 3rd round), and fire an arrow at the nearest gnoll.
Attack:
Damage:
When you are prone you can only move 5 feet by crawling. If you could just move normally(without penalty) while prone nobody would crawl.

The single remaining archer is still in a deep sleep.
The only fighter remaining still sits on the floor twitching.
Egil moves around to the back of the flind hoping to get it's attention so the prone man may have a chance. He gets behind the beast unnoticed and trips it bashing it with the end of his axe while doing so.
Spectrum is up.
Init: +2 AC: 11

Running out of options. Need to research for this eventuality in the future.
Spectrum eyes the battlefield with concern. Glastak was flanked by two competant healers and was still sorely pressed. The larger beast-man was a force to be reckoned with.
Let's see if I can even the odds
Galstak will stand and swing at the prone Flind.
"Goodnight you #$*&!
Swing on prone Flind:
[/ooc]
[/ooc]
The flind is fascinated by the hypnotic pattern and just stares at it from the ground.
The glowing scimitar makes a heavy wound on the prone gnoll but it hardly notices and stares at the array of colors.
Galstak stands and makes another swing at the flind but somehow manages to miss even though he lies prone.
Kaiden Second blade kips the gnolls side but it is enough to fell the exhausted gnoll.
Khalil sneaks behind the gnoll and stabs it in the back ending it's miserable life.
Morphet moves and enchants his bolts.
Villagers continue as instructed and head for the camp and relative safety.
Gnolls? What gnolls? I have seen none of those lately and have no idea what it is you are talking about.
Flind stares at the colorful lights and only twitches every now and then.
Tok does some more rad heals on Galstak.
Gregers moves in to slay the Powerful beast while it is down. He is distracted by something and misses very badly.
Aksum continues performance and fires of a shot at the nearest live gnoll and misses.
Human fighter moves to attack down Flind. His wold swing also misses.

If the last two gnolls aren't dead by the time his turn rolls around, Aksum take another shot.
Attack:
Damage:
Seeing the Flind surrounded and helpless, Khalil moves back into the camp towards the gnoll who is lying face first in the snow just inside the tent perimeter. Sheathing his rapier he uses his free hands to start binding the creatures limbs so it can't escape or threaten anyone. As the villagers arrive, he points them to the far end of camp and says, "You people can set up over there, that's about as safe an area as we have right now."

Spectrum sighs at the situation around the large Gnoll and walks calmly to the unconscious gnoll near him. Drawing a long, hiltless sword from beneath his cloak, seemingly from nowhere, he positions the blade above the creature's chest carefully and leans his weight downward.
Curvlk strikes at the downed gnoll killing it as it sleeps.
Crossbow gnolls: ?
Gnoll fighters: Still lies on the ground completely helpless.
Egil notices the flind suddenly snap out of it's confused state and he rushes over to it swing with his axe. The Flind shrieks in pain as the axe seeps into his stomach it still lives.
Spectrum ends the life of the last standing gnoll.
A spiritual weapon once again pounds at the Flind. Still it manages to live.
Galstak swings at the beast again and misses.
Seeing his target beaten by Curvlk he turn to Charges the flind instead. His blade digs into it's flesh and it lets out one last fell howl before it lies silently.
The villagers make thier way to the camp and Egil immediately sees his dead companions body lay flat on the ground without his head. He quickly runs to the scene yelling in defiance. "Our first conflict out in the wilds and we have already lost one of our people, let us put his body to rest it is the least we can do for him." Says Gregers.
Yay yous win but at what cost...
+1200xp all. [Including Egil and Gregers.]
"Any of you clerics able to help me out? I accept help from non clerics also."
after finally looking around and seeing the dead bodies Kaiden speaks to the natives:
"The ground may be too hard to bury the dead. Is cremation the way things are done here"
"A pyre..or two, one for our comrade and one for our enemy's. They may be gnolls but deserve at least that." Gregers says back to Kaiden.
"A pyre..or two, one for our comrade and one for our enemy's. They may be gnolls but deserve at least that." Gregers says back to Kaiden.
Luminarion assists as needed in helping build the funeral pyres and performing the necessary funeral rites for those who have fallen, both human and gnoll. Luminarion also checks to see if there are any remaining injured people who need some healing.
Once the fight is clearly over, Khalil, meticulously cleans the blood off of his rapier and slips it back into its sheath. With that finished he walks among the villagers while the some of the others take care of the dead. He does his best to offer a little support and comfort to the frightened group. He puts on all of his charm and offers to help get them settled, while occasionally stopping to do a trick or two for the children or says a few smiling words of reassurance to the women.
Remembering the cart back on the road, he asks the others, "Should we try and move that cart off of the road? Or at least bring the horses up to camp where they can be picketed with our own?"
Galstak will look over the Flind and any other Gnolls with in close proximity. Then he will seek out anyone willing to heal further.
Spectrum walks calmly out intot he battlefeild surveying the damage done and motioning to Curvlk and Tok.
"Let's not put these people any more on edge than they already are. Both of you look different enough to spark potential problems. Come, help me drag the corpses away and search them for anything useful."
Sticking their heads out of the tent they had been hiding in, the two small drakes took to the air, scouting for additional danger in the aftermath of the battle.
Tok looks around, prepared to finish healing anyone who needs it.
"Damn gnolls, no sense of letting people alone to relax."
Search of all the bodys turns up:
7 battleaxes of average make
23 rusted scimitars not worth anything
8 Crossbows and and 10 bolts each
16 suits leather armor
24 wooden heavy shields most quite scraped or damaged
7 suits of scale mail
1 suit of studded leather
1 longsword
1 medium metal shield
4 spears
2 throwing axes
some sort of magical greataxe
A magic cloak
1 green ranger cloak
1 longbow and 20 arrows
a silver torc
plenty of waterskins and dried meat rations
43 gp, 22 sp and 112 cp
You also notice a cart behind the gnolls initial location.
It contains
an assortment of farming tools
a pair of long swords
three medium metal shields
four helmets
five sacks of grain,
two casks of mead
a ceramic flask of brandy
more than 20 pounds of smoked fish
a silver tankard
eight sacks of wool
a dozen valuable fur pelts
122gp, 11sp, and 32cp
The villagers ask of you to recover their cart witch they had left on the road and bring it back to camp so it may be safe.
It is black and bears a lurid red crescent in the middle.
When he gets a chance to after performing the necessary funeral rites and helping to heal anybody who needs it Luminarion looks the stuff over that the searchers found on the gnolls. He addresses the group as a whole and says:
"Some of you in lighter armor who want to go into melee combat should probably consider cleaning some of the scale mail off and using it if it will fit."
Luminarion also casts detect magic and checks to see if any of it has a magical aura.
"Allow me... he says to Tok, examining the equipment.
Curvlk wanders over to Kaiden, and begins to chant in celestial, that strange voice that sounds so unlike a goblin escaping from his moving lips, then lays his hands on the human. "تسمعني كخادمة للحقيقة ، استدعاء تدفق نورك في التدفق من خلال عروق حلفائي، وسلم الملاك استعادة حيويتها."
"You fight well, human. Not particularly quiet, but that makes it easier for me to do so.
The goblin sadly watches as the humans take away their fallen, before weaving his hands before him once more. "يضيئوا حتى في الظلام ، وتكشف عن أسرار السحر فقال لي"
Other than the cloak and axe you can read no magic auras nearby. they are all dead and those that are not will bleed out without any aid.
We have two clerics why not channel positive to heal EVEYONE at once.
"Galstak," Spectrum says, offering the axe to the warrior, "I think you've earned this tonight."
"As for this, it will offer a small measure of protection against ambient dangers, such as magic or poison. Personally, I would advise that it go to one of our healers. Any thoughts?"
