Khalid moves up the stairs, switching the focus of his judgement to justice, and swings at one of gnolls cowering behind the table...
Attack:1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 (bless, judgement)
Damage:1d6 + 4 + 2 (weapon of awe)
Nuveril slides past Zaldiel and Linah, tumbling through the gap between the tables. The axeman hacks at her as she passes but the halfling is too quick, rolling back to her feet, hammer and madu ready.
Battleaxe miss
Sajan moves with supernatural speed up the steps. With a powerful leap off his left foot, he comes down on top of the table edge. His kick connects hard, sending the gnoll reeling back into the far wall and then it collapses.
Khalid moves up, clearing the steps, and sends a fire bolt that squarely hits one of the gnolls behind the southern table in the left arm.
Haleen moves up behind Linah.
Assault on the Battle Market!

Zeladiel moves into the cramped room and pushes past his companions, bow in front of him. Suddenly, he turns the bow sideways aiming at a group of gnolls and speaks a word like crackling flames. A cone of fire leaps from the end of the bow, fanning out to encompass the gnolls and sear their fur and flesh.
Burning hands (DC15 half) damage:
The gnolls within the cone of Zeladiel's fiery spell writhe and yelp all taking the full force of the flames. The gnoll injured by Khalid's fire bolt (Y,16) falls to the ground with horrendous burns.
Reflex 1 fail
Reflex 2 fail
The three remaining gnolls react, swinging axes at Grall, Nuveril and Sajan. Nuveril takes a stinging hit to the ribs while Grall blocks every one of his foe's blows and Sajan hops neatly over his opponent's wild swings, the gnoll nearly losing its balance entirely.

Yesssss, working very hard to avoid hitting Nuveril, thus my remembering the page number :-)
Round 15, initiative 16c
Linah looks torn as she sees the wounds carried by her companions knowing that she can't risk a healing burst as it will invigor their enemies as well. She enters the fray and slashes at the nearest gnoll but with little room to swing the strike is ill timed and the gnoll parries it easily .
Nuveril hisses in pain as the battleaxe cuts through her skin. It hurts a lot more when she's fatigued. Still, she is in prime position to deliver a ready rebuke if only her tired muscles will respond. "My turn," she smiles grimly at the gnoll.
Yesssss, working very hard to avoid hitting Nuveril, thus my remembering the page number :-)
Grall savagely lops the head off the closest gnoll badly burnt by Zeladiel's fire. Stepping over the corpse of the next he lunges forward to bite the gnoll battling Nuveril but it is able to ward him off with its shield.
Linah's attack is parried as above.
Despite her momentary tiredness, Nuveril takes advantage of the attacks to batter the gnoll, penetrating its defences repeatedly with hammer and madu. A overhand blow to the chest drops the gnoll to the floor.
Assuming the others can take care of the lone remaining gnoll, Nuveril ducks through the door in search of more enemies.

Khalid takes off after Nuveril, switch the focus of his judgement to protection and passing the halfling as moves...
Perception:
Khalid moves to engage the remaining gnoll, striking at the creature with Tempest...
Attack: (bless, judgement)
Damage: (weapon of awe)
Sajan uses the momentum from leaping over the battleaxe to bring his heel down upon the Gnoll's head in a nasty vertical maneuver, then steps off the table, his right foot slamming into the Gnoll's head as he descends.
Do not rush off alone again, let Linah heal our wounds! Sajan cries out to his companions, almost expecting to be ignored.
Sajan's first strike staggers the gnoll and his second crushes its skull into its spine, killing it instantly.
Khalid overtakes Nuveril, gaining line of sight to the left half of the viewing platform. Standing on the other side of one of the high backed wooden chairs is the armored gnoll from your first fight with the hyenas. In his right hand he holds the odd weapon Haleen described. In his left a large steel shield. He holds his shield up in a defensive stance.
Haleen moves up beside Grall. He'll be waiting....

Grall makes sure next round that Linah's healing can not help two of the Gnolls by savaging two of them further.
Zeladiel gives a brief nod at the smell of burning blood, flesh and fur and the efficiency of his new companions. "Almah and Garavel have chosen well this time. I guess we are all learning from previous mistakes," he thinks.
Zeladiel advances cautiously along the hallway, his bow at the ready. He is almost drained of magic, but his arrows are still sharp and his aim is still true.
Round 16, initiative 16c
"Wait, do not go in alone", Linah calls out as Nuveril vanishes into the corridor with Khalid right behind her. She rushes after catching them in her sight as she reaches the doorway . "Carry us through this last battle, mother of light. Strengthen your champions so we can vanquish the tyranny of Kelmare", she whispers a warm light envelops the guard room and corridor, soothing aches and closing wounds
Bow ready, Zeladiel moves to join Khalid and Nuveril, not quite seeing the gnoll.
Grall hacks and bites at the two fallen gnolls, covering himself with even more gore which sloshes neatly from his chainshirt. Aside from the silver metal around his torso he is almost completely covered in blood from head to toe. Even Haleen seems taken aback at his ferocity.
Linah's channel washes over everyone, the priestess excluding the two gnoll guards that aren't already dead.
Grall hurls the dead corpse of the Gnoll that is impaled on his sword against the wall with a sickening crunch and screams out in rage,
Karrrdswann, I am coming forrr you, yourrr marrrrow will be mine!!!!
you are no longer sure if he is in control of himself...[
Sajan will move to W8.
Nuveril dashes across the open doorway into cover on the other side, hoping to see what might be waiting on the other side of the room.
k per
Nuveril moves to the left of the entrance way to the viewing platform while Khalid takes up position basically in the middle.
Khalid's bolt is a hit (if just) on the gnoll. It takes a minor burn to the left forearm.
Sajan moves up close to Khalid.
Haleen stays close to Grall.

Round 10 miss
Round 11 hit
Grall double moves to U7, standing in the middle of the hall and entrance, sees the Gnoll standing there, screams at him in common, Wherrre is yourrr cowarrrd of a leaderrr, sneaking arrround with his invisibility again? Come then, dance with death until he has enough courrrage to come against me!!!!!!!
Turns his head to Khalid, a small amount of calm shows through, Remember my death Khalid, Sarenrae blessed us all today...
Sticking to the wall, Zeladiel advances until he can see through the doorway and calmly fires an arrow at the gnoll in the chair.
Longbow +1, Blessed, Point Blank:
Damage:
Zeladiel's arrow nicks the gnoll in the leg. It grunts, keeping its shield up.
Grall moves into the entrance way, roaring his challenge. The gnoll looks wary but does not respond beyond twirling its odd weapon.
Still not trusting the seeming emptiness of the room, Nuveril nonetheless jukes around the corner and moves toward the gnoll with the unusual weapon, although without her customary recklessness. "Where is your flying, invisible master?" she growls at him.
Sajan warily enters the room, fists up and poised to leap aside from any blows directed his way, gracefully leaping up onto a chair beside the Gnoll and anticipating a strike.
Round 17, initiative 16b
Linah moves up to join her companions for the final battle
Need a path please.
** spoiler omitted **
Linah moves up to join Khalid and Grall.
Skirting the left hand wall Nuveril enters the room, forcing a shift in stance from the gnoll.
Sajan does the same but breaks off to leap on to the centre chair.

Wary of the gnoll's reluctance to move forward and engage the group, Khalid holds his ground, again switches the focus of his judgement to justice, and launches another bolt of flame toward the gnoll...
Attack: (bless, judgement, vs. touch AC)
Damage:
Confirm?: (bless, judgement, vs. touch AC)
Damage:
Grall will move directly R7 and attack the gnoll
Despite Sajan's proximity, Khalid's fire bolt is right on target, taking the gnoll in the side and wounding it further.
The gnoll swears a curse in gnollish and moves around Nuveril, coming in at her fast with its weapon twirling. It sends the bottom bar hard at her legs. She blocks but the blow is a feint, the gnoll bounces the bar off the halfling's shield and hooks it around the haft of her hammer. A hard jerk and her hammer is pulled out of her hand and falls to the ground.
Disarm pass
Another whoosh of air is the only warning Grall has as a silvery axe cuts him badly across the shoulders. The master of the Kulldis appears in the right hand side of the room, enlarged as Grall and Sajan were, his head is a bit over a foot below the fifteen foot high ceiling. While fresh blood stains his paints from Sajan's shuriken it looks like he has healed more or less from his previous wounds.
