Schmitty fires his crossbow at the closest enemy
(Add +1 to hit if the enemy is within 30'; Also no penalty for firing into Melee due to precise shot.)
Rat does its thing against the nearest enemy
Niko casts a spell and, starts out after the wagon, laughing at the irony of things.
Moneta manages to get Sadie to move a little closer to the action.
Schmitty and Chavi move in a little on things, and Schmitty fires a bolt at the hyena next to Karg. His bolt skids to a stop in the sands and rocks 20 ft. from the hyena.
The hyena bites at Karg, but fails to do more than sling a little slobber on his boot.
Priggle yells back,"Don't worry, we're not leaving. I'm just heading for something that needs to be run over!" He laughs, snaps the reins and turns the wagon towards the gnoll that fired the magic missiles at hims seconds ago. The gnoll feebly tries to stab one of the horses, but the horse and wagon easily overrun him, crushing him to nothing but a bloody mess.

Karg slams his greatsword down hard towards the gnoll below him.
In the event, the gnoll is still standing, Spitz will try to finish him off.
Karg will then flick the reigns of Spitz, and urge him forward 50' towards the two gnolls that are now in front of the cart.
Assuming Evan is still safely out of range of the hyena in the wagon, he will shoot at it, trying to kill it before focusing on the new threat. His short sword is still in his right hand.
Spending 1 grit point; 1 remaining.
Touch AC attack vs. hyena:
Pistol damage:
If it doesn't prompt an attack of opportunity due to the gnoll being so far away from his perch on the roof, Evan will use his move action to get off the now-stopped wagon so that he doesn't have to go toe-to-toe with the bad guy. Ranged fighting is where it's at.
The hyena in the wagon lunges forward, trying in vain to bite Evan, and failing pathetically.
Karg puts a vicious gash into the body of the hyena near him, causing it to drop to the ground. He and Spitz then start hastily making their way towards the wagon.
As Evan lifts his pistol to fire again at the hyena, the hyena bites his right ankle and pulls his leg forward enough that he falls off balance, nearly out the back of the wagon, but instead lands on one of the crates. As he crashes through the crate, his pistol goes off, lodging a bullet in the right eye of the hyena. It flops to the bed of the wagon, unmoving.
The gnoll in the tree tries to continue climbing towards his bow, but slips, and fails to catch himself. He crashes to the ground with a loud thud and a puff of dust. He doesn't move after the fall.
The two gnolls the wagon just pasted fire an arrow each at Karg and Spitz. The one nearly strikes Karg, while the other lands solidly into Spitz. Karg feels his trusted friend nearly topple after the arrow connects.
The savage brute of a gnoll roars and rips a large hole in the wagon cover, and drops into the wagon with ease, but nearly stumbles over the corpse of the hyena.

Seeing the caster-gnoll get run over, and the tree-gnoll fall to his death, Niko will laugh some more. Mentally changing targets Niko will continue running after the wagon, getting closer to both it and the gnolls still on the ground.
Ride Check
Moneta spends the entire round riding after the wagon.
Karg releases some of Gorum's divine magic into Spitz.
Karg then drives Spitz forward in a charge at the bow wielding gnolls.
Schmitty fires at the Gnoll between himself and Nikko
As Evan lifts his pistol to fire again at the hyena, the hyena bites his right ankle and pulls his leg forward enough that he falls off balance, squeezes the trigger, planting a bullet in the hyena's right eye, and manages to push with his left leg, lifting him up off the wagon, and out the back. He barely misses the horses and lands flat on his back on the hard dirt. He's next to the remains of the gnoll shaman.
Niko and Moneta continue chasing after the wagon.
Schmitty plants a bolt in the body of the unconscious between he and Niko, finishing it off.
Karg heals Spitz, allowing her to continue towards the gnoll archers, biting one where its neck and should join viciously.
The wagon, and presumably Priggle and the gnoll savage, move another 50 ft., obviously slowing.
Priggle hops over the back of the drivers bench, and stabs the gnoll savage.

Gnoll Savage: 22/27
Ride check
Moneta manages to get a firm grip on the reins and reaches an understanding with Sadie, moving in roughly the right direction.
100' double move closer to the wagon. This gets her about 40' from Karg if I'm reading the maps right.
Evan gets up and dusts himself off. He sheathes his short sword as he moves 30 feet diagonally to the northwest (4 squares), reloading his pistol at the same time. He is looking to put as much distance between the Wagon of Assured Death and himself as possible, and hopefully regroup with the party.
Evan manages to scramble to his feet, slipping another cartridge into his pistol, and moves away from the corpse of the shaman.
Meanwhile, the gnoll savage singles wildly at Priggle, but loses his balance and falls from the back of the wagon, onto the backs of the two horses.
The two gnolls swing axes, but fail to strike anything but air.

Still laughing, Niko will continue running closer to the wagon.
Chavi is going to full out run to get closer to the wagon (50X4=200 feet)
Schmitty readies an action to fire a glob of acid at the gnoll on the horses when Chavi gets within range and stops moving.
Acid Splash Touch attack
Karg will direct Spitz to attack the same gnoll again, which is now injured.
Karg will attack the uninjured gnoll.
Concerned that both of their attacks failed, Karg backs Spitz up 5'.
Chavi is going to full out run to get closer to the wagon (50X4=200 feet)
Schmitty readies an action to fire a glob of acid at the gnoll on the horses when Chavi gets within range and stops moving.

What are we waiting on to move this one forward?
Yup.
Niko and Moneta both continue their rush towards the wagon.
Schmitty holds on as Chavi rushes towards the wagon. He tries and fails to cast a spell on the gnolls near Karg and Spitz.
Both Karg and Spitz fail to strike the gnolls in front of them, and back away a step.
The savage gnoll finally crashes to the dirt before the wagon moves a little farther, and then comes to a stop. Priggle climbs out the whole the savage ripped, but falls on his face.

Evan takes a double move 60 feet north.
One gnoll steps up and swings at Spitz, but misses the camel.
The other gnoll charges Schmitty, landing a solid blow on the halfling with its battleaxe.
The brute of a gnoll stands and moves to the corpse of the shaman, dropping to its knees.

Niko will see Evan moving past him on his course.
"Gunman, stay behind me but come here!"
That said, Niko will continue running... passing Shmitty on his left and heading towards the Savage gnoll that was at the body of his companion.
Chavi tries to take a bite out of the closest Gnoll and Shimitty fires a crossbow bolt at it.
Bite
Crossbow
Karg and Spitz will attempt to defeat the gnoll in front of them.
Moneta will dismount and take Sadie's bridle in hand. (Move action)
She'll gesture with her free hand, and a glittering bird of razorblades and wire manifests itself in the air 25' away from her, towards the wagon. "Kill any Gnolls in the wagon!" And it takes off.
Summon Bladehawk (Standard action)
Bladehawk moves 60' towards the wagon; I don't know if it will make it there with anything to attack with.
Niko yells at Evan and moves.
Moneta's mechanical eagle flies over the wagon, and starts returning to her as it sees no gnolls there.
Chavi bites at the gnoll, but it avoids her maw.
Schmitty is struck by the gnoll as he leaves an opening while he raises his crossbow, and plants a bolt in the gnoll.
Spitz bites the gnoll nearest it, just before Karg nearly cuts the gnoll in half.
Priggle stands and starts moving toward the savage gnoll.

Evan moves 30 feet southeast and then south again towards the rest of the party. Once he's within range of Schmitty and Niko, he stands up straight and brings his hands to his sides -- including the one with the loaded pistol.
He tips his hat back ever so slightly and begins to recite a soliloquy that sounds like it comes from a play or book of some sort, his accent going away entirely, as he speaks in a confident tone:
"Tired, we are:
tired from injury and warmaking -- but not bowed.
The enemy will never see us bowed."
Evan shares his tactical insight with the party while changing the direction of his movement.
The gnoll on the ground near Karg continue to bleed, while the one near Schmitty manages to strike the halfling just before it collapses.
The brutish gnoll has retrieved whatever it was digging for in the mangled corpse of the gnoll shaman and begins to run away.

Evan shares his tactical insight with the party while changing the direction of his movement.
The gnoll on the ground near Karg continue to bleed, while the one near Schmitty manages to strike the halfling just before it collapses.
Schmitty falls unconscious, Chavi vanishes (-6 HP)
Niko will "TCH" loudly, giving the running gnoll a glare before moving over to Shmitty.
"Karg, can you stop the runner?" He will call out loudly as he puts his hand on Shmitty and a grunted syllable.
Afterwards he will look around, seeing everyone else still walking on their own volition.
"Good."
"Gorum is disappointed in that one. He will not fight."
Moneta directs her bladehawk to the fleeing one.
"I wish to read his future. Bring me his entrails."
(If I am within range to do so - I am having trouble identifying targets on your map, I will attempt to do a Single Target Intimidate after moving closer to the one fleeing, to get him to stop.)
Karg will ride right up beside the gnoll and will shout down, "Stop, surrender and you may yet live!"
Niko will "TCH" loudly, giving the running gnoll a glare before moving over to Shmitty.
"Karg, can you stop the runner?" He will call out loudly as he puts his hand on Shmitty and a grunted syllable.
1d8+1
Afterwards he will look around, seeing everyone else still walking on their own volition.
"Good."
Schmitty is at 0. still unconscious (i think)
When his turn rolls around Schmitty takes a standard action to cast a spell (Infernal Healing). He loses one hit point, falling unconscious, but quickly comes to as the spell does it's work.
Over the course of the next minute, Schmitty's wounds seem to knit themselves together.
Real life is forcing me to postpone this game. I'll post again when I'm able to get things up and running again.
Okay, sounds good. This time of year always gets busy for everyone, so in the event we do not re-commence prior to 2012, I hope every one has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
DM Black Fang is currently without both a car (needed to get to his job) and an Internet connection outside of going to a coffee shop. He's working on both of these problems, and will be happy to resume the game when at least one of them is solved. (Car likely comes first, but makes it easier for him to go to a coffee shop.)

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to continue with the campaign.
