Very well that party walks down the right hand passage, the smell becomes stronger and more unpleasent.

mgt's roll comes to 3 [3 on 1d6]
mgt's roll comes to 2 [2 on 1d6]

You can see light as you enter a very large cavern, it is at least 150feet in diameter, there is a central fire pit with several fissure above that act as chimney. There is a fire going and and several long spits, on which goblin corpses are being turned by 2 gnolls. It takes only a moment for both side to spot the other. In total there are 4 gnolls, 2 cooking and 2 rummaging around the cavern.

Barking voices ring out, those that speak gnoll hear and jubilant cry about fresh meat!

Battle is joined.....

Actions

"There are too many! Shield your eyes!" Alrik says to his companions as he moves forward and starts to cast Color Spray.

Urist holds back to let Alrik cast his spell. His warhammer is at the ready in case any of the creatures resist the color spray.

Rhegaer holds on throwing his spear until the magician is done plying his skills.

Round 1:

Action Alrik leaps forward to cast Color Spray, Rheagar is ready with his spear as is Urist with Hammer. The others are filtering into the cavern and spreading out.

Init:
Gnolls: mgt's roll comes to 2 [2 on 1d6]
Party: mgt.'s roll comes to 1 [1 on 1d6]

The gnolls all stop what they are doing and react. The two closet are on the group so fast Alrik does not have a change to get his spell off at the front most gnolls. Rhegaer (+1 Init) manages to engage with his spear before the Wizard is bludged.

Round 2 actions?

If Rhegaer has time to act first, he sets his spear if the two remaining gnolls look like they are going to charge into the fight. Otherwise, he fights normally, attempting to impale one of the gnolls on his spear.

Rhegaer is engage is hand to hand with a Gnoll. Spear vs Spiked Club, to the death! (Alrik took care of the charging gnolls)

| Ah, got it. Thought at first you meant he'd used it on the two immediately in front of the party. |

"Ouch!" grunts Urist as he absorbs a blow strong enough to kill most. He figures the best defense is a strong offense, and keeps swinging his hammer at the threatening gnoll...

Coln will engage the gnoll attacking Urist.
