"We're surrounded!" you hear someone yell out. Sure enough, you watch as gnolls close in on all sides, outnumbering you all about four to one. You look over at Akmong for guidance, who simply shields his crow and hides between the two horses that had just been pulling his carriage. It looked like a fight was inevitable.

The gnolls charge forth, screeching out and raising their weapons as they do so. But you have a tank.

All seven parties get behind Ahron, Randall, Khanarak, Canassa, Murder Bunny, Tuuluuwaq, and Vandall and meet the gnolls head on. The collision is violent and blood flows quickly. Gnolls are cut down left and right as blades slice through them. Crossbow bolts are let loose freely, and while most thankfully whiz just by you, one finds its target in your upper leg. You ignore the pain and continue fighting.

Your coordinated effort to rally behind your fighter lasts as long as it can, but soon enough the line breaks and the battle turns to scattered chaos.

Randall, Murder Bunny, Tuuluuwaq, and Vandall decide to stick to their strengths. They take the fight to the main pack of gnolls and cut through them the best they can. It hurts a bit, but it's rewarding.

Greaseface, Ahron, Malus, Cyrillus, Rok, Khanarak, Lavina, and Canassa remember their training. They spring for the highground and clamber onto a few large boulders nearby. As always, the high ground works out, and they manage to each defeat some gnolls and free them of a bit of gold as they do so.

Ordella, Faerora, Booberella, and Marnu all take cover inside the back of Akmong's covered wagon. It doesn't take long for a pack of gnolls to find them, flood in, and beat the gold from them.

Luckily for Sandor, who is hiding beneath the wagon alone, all of that gold spills through the shoddy wooden base of the carriage. Sandor uses his four hands to catch all the gold as it careens down upon him. "This is God's plan" he mutters to himself.

Rara, Calius, and Priggat climb a nearby tree and begin assaulting gnolls from above. Calius looks around for black apples, but instead spots a Rok nest on a nearby branch. When the three peer inside, they find a few good sized satchels of gold in a pile of bones.

And lastly, Hustus runs away! The faun is no stranger to the woods and quickly dashes through the gnolls, hoping to find help down the road. When he finds another overturned carriage with no survivors, along with a few gold and a key, he correctly deduces that no help would be on the way.
