Not wanting to be left by himself, Zaid starts sneaking too, trying to follow Livvy.

There is one gnoll visible to Nombir, it is in the rocks about one hundred feet away from him. It is the secdon archer that just shot Livvy.
Zaid can cross the first hundred feet of open scrubland in one run to the cactus where Erizi and Nombir are but there is very little cover. Livvy can make it the last twenty feet into the rocks too.
Zaid, Livvy, Erizi and Shimei can all see a second gnoll at the edge of the covering rocks, directly before Shimei.
Livvy's hurting. She will hustle to the rocks and make herself as small as possible while watching for threats.

Livvy hides behind the large cactus beside Erizi and Nombir.
To herself, quietly, "I was never good and 'Find Me!', the others always found me so fast -- I can tell I should have practiced more -- who knew it would matter? -- but look at Norn! Or I would, if I could figure out where she's gone. I'll bet she was great at 'Find Me!' -- oh, this hurts. Am I dying?"
I just have to figure out that trick of hiding that Uncle Feldus would always use to sneak up on us. One minute he's there, the next minute he's gone! Crazy old man, anyway...
Having established a clear firing lane, Shimei begins to move parallel to Erizi toward the gnolls. He draws and nocks an arrow waiting for a good target.

Erizi bellows and heads towards the Gnoll with the Throwing axe. (Without a map, not sure if there is any cover, but oh well. Sometimes you just have to go. If I can reach him and attack I will. If not I'll move till I'm withing melee range.

The gnoll visibly shrinks as the towering Erizi approaches down the line of the rocks. An arrow hits the hyenaman square in the shoulder too, courtesy of Shimei.
However he does have enough presence of mind to still throw the axe at him.
The axe hits but only grazes the pitfighter before he gets to try out Tempest for the first time.
Erizi blinks slightly as the thrown axe glances off his armor, then swings Tempest with all his might at the offending critter.
Oh wait. I forgot the +3 for the killer trait. That will be 63 points of damage.
"Erizi wait.. ohh". Nombir sees Erizi move off and prepares to go and help him, but first looks at Livvy and says "Abbadar help her" and holds out his hand.

The gnoll staggers and then falls dead.
EDIT: About two hundred feet away down in the valley that is.
Oh wait. I forgot the +3 for the killer trait. That will be 63 points of damage.
Livvy looks up at Nombir, "Thank you, that's much better. Wait -- did you just hear a big 'splatting' sound?"
Erizi
** spoiler omitted **
"You're welcome Livvy". Nombir looks up at the splatting sound and sees Erizi enjoying himself! "I'd better help Erizi, although I don't think he needs it!". Nombir turns to move off to the fighting.

Zaid and Livvy stand at a large cactus which sits on the edge of the rockline across the open ground roughly in the middle when looking from the ruined monastery towards the valley and Kelmarane.
To the left is Shimei, about sixty feet from the ruins and forty feet from the rocks and cover.
Erizi is almost directly in front of Shimei on the edge of those rocks, with a very gory earthbreaker. Nombir has healed Livvy and then moved along the edge to Erizi.
Another hundred further them in the alleys, drops and folds of rocks and ground is a single gnoll with a bow. He takes a pot shot at Erizi and then turns, heading away and out of sight.
Norn went right and no one else can see him in the more cluttered terrain.

Shimei will pursue the gnoll bowman, avoiding the ax-armed gnoll.
Zaid pokes hid head above the cactus and looks for more gnolls.
When Nombir gets close enough to Erizi he says "which one do you want next?". Nombir readies his great sword for a charge at an available target!

Shimei can double move close to the rockline, however without running he cannot reach any cover.
Erizi and Nombir both know roughly where the archer went to ground but it is in among the bad stuff, about hundred foot away.
Zaid cannot see any gnolls at all. Its like a maze of rocks ahead.
Norn

Norn's bolt hits the gnoll square in the back and it squeals out loud, loud enough for everyone to hear.
The beast drops its axe in agony and tries to run, staggering away from the halfling and his hidey hole. Then the gnoll trips, falling flat on its face, one hand gripping the bolt. The gnoll stays down, writhing a little.
Erizi stands and watches the gnoll retreat, then hollers in gnoll "Run you coward"! "Run from the force that is Erizi". Then beating his chest he looks upward and howls at the sky "ArooooooooooH"! "I am Erizi the Mighty, and none can stand against my might".
He then turns to Nombir. "Was I not magnificant"? "Are you not fortunate to be allowed to adventure with me"? He then claps him on the shoulder, and heads back towards the monastery with a smug smile on his face.
Livvy peers from her cover at the retreating gnoll. When Nombir is near enough (and Erizi is not) to hear, she says quietly, "I'm concerned that we let one live. If he returns - when he returns - it will not be alone. I suspect we did not scare him enough to not seek revenge with the rest of the pack."
That said, she will move to the nearest gnoll corpse that is not being searched and check for anything of value.
"What about this one?" Norn shouts over to the others whilst pointing at the wounded Gnoll.
"Shall we eat it?" says Zaid, walking up. Then in gnoll:
Shimei hears the agonized howls of the third gnoll with satisfaction, but, like Livvy, he's disturbed by the one that got away. If he alerts the gnolls in Kelmarane then the monastery will be useless as a base. Shimei runs in the direction he guesses the gnoll took , occasionally jumping onto rocks to get a higher vantage point.
"Yeh, ok Erizi!". Nombir wonders if his skills extend to mental problems, smiles at Erizi and then follows him to the Gnoll. "Does anybody understand what that thing is saying?"
Zaid and Norn (if he speaks gnoll)
"Anyone here have anything that we could heal this fella up with? He says he is willing to talk if we do." Norn points to the bolt as she speaks.
"I'll have a look at him". Nombir sheathes his sword and looks over the Gnoll. "This arrow will have to come out" and pulls the arrow out. He then channels positive energy into the Gnoll and the party. "Abaddar help my friends and this thing" and Nombir raises his hand and blesses all present
