    It was weird, the gnolls went after her allies first. That would make sense with the fact that her kin would want her alive. Only so they could sacrifice her to Lolth for the sake of regaining favor. She spat on the ground and saw that two were jumping her scorpion. They were playing it smart by going for it's tail first. Go for the more dangerous part before dealing with the rest of it. However, she was not going to just stand there and watch it happen. There was no second thoughts at all. She ran up to the back of one as it raised it's weapon to swing it at the scorpion. She reached out with her hand. [color=92278f]"Shocking Grasp!"[/color] She yelled as her hand connected to the Gnoll's back. All the metal on the animals back made for a good conductor making the spell flow right into it. The Gnoll howled with pain but not enough to kill it. Her scorpion took this moment to heart and struck with it's stinger. With the Gnoll staggered it had tried to block but it was no good due to the power of the punch. The stinger dripping with venom poked it's way into the Gnoll's body. The vemon acted quickly sapping the gnoll of strength.

 [color=92278f]"It was not smart filth from the sands, to ignore the sorceress from behind you. The sun has fried your what remained of brain."[/color] She said as she walked around him. The other Gnoll tried to intercept to help his companion but the scorpion swung with its claws throwing him back into the sand. The scorpion charged and struck with his tail. This gnolled rolled to the right dodging the tail. However he had to keep rolling for the scorpion's tail kept coming at him. Eventually he lifted up his buckler to block and his eyes widened and narrowed as he saw that the stinger had actually punctured through. He gulped and let go of his shield and got up and away. 

 Vivian saw the look of fear from the Gnoll as he watched her step around. The wound the stinger made itself was strong enough to kill a normal human but this creature was a little more resistant. The venom however,... that was working its magic. She knelt and looked straight into his eyes. [color=92278f]"Experience with my kin should have taught you not to underestimate a drow and to certainly not turn your back to one."[/color] She said and she rose back up and swung with her scythe. The blade went right through his collar bone with no problem. The dogman's head leaving it's body. She then noticed the other Gnoll struggling alone against her scorpion. She smirked and decided it was time to play with the Gnoll... not just with this one. But all of them. She rose her hand into the air and snapped her fingers. Instantly all the gnolls engulfed in a purple flame. It was harmless actually but that wasn't its point. To anyone with a brain they would know it was only a illusion. To the dim witted they would act with their eyes before they acted with their mind. To the gnoll fighting the scorpion he thought he had engulfed in flames and began screaming trying to put himself out. He even dove into the sand hoping to smother it. 

 Her pet to advantage of this distraction and stuck with it's tail. The buckler still attached made it impossible for the stinger to go all the way though so the venom wouldn't effect him. It did do some blunt damage though. It curled up bracing for another strike. What he saw was the drow. [color=92278f]"I can't believe my kin would send something so brainless to bring me back?..."[/color] She said and aimed her hand at the Gnoll's face. She smirked and laughed. [color=92278f]"That would be too quick..."[/color] She lowered herself pulling from the vial case she bought from the merchant a vial. It was filled with stomach acid from a white worm. It could eat through the hardest metal. The gnoll shook his head as if trying to beg for her forgiveness. She frowned and popped it open and poured the liquid all over it's face. It screamed in agony as the acid ate away its face and no matter how much it tried it couldn't make it stop until the struggling stopped as well as all movement. She snorted and looked to see if her friends needed aid.

[color=6ecff6]Alexander[/color]

 Alex kicked at the sides of Fordes causing the dire wolf to leap at the first gnoll who charged. With his bastard sword and shield he deflected the blows of the others. He lowered the shield and positioned it to watch sparks fly from the axe that swung at him. While his sword knocked the others weapon away from hitting. The Gnoll that took the blunt of Forde's pounce found himself on the ground. The dire wolf swung with its paws striking at it's prey's arms to get the axe out of the way for it to bite. While Alexander slid down from his mount. He made sure he was between both of the gnolls. Three against two.... these were not too bad of odds. Him and Fordes fought in full scale battles compared to this. The gnolls themselves made it different. He never faced foes like this before. Each with a hand axe. Gruesome looking axes too. He reached down and grabbed his helmet and slid it on. It was not onion shaped like Catarina's but more of a boxed shape. Similar to a templar.
 
 [color=6ecff6]"Alright you ugly mongrels, I ain't got all day."[/color] He said. He leaped forward swinging not with his sword first but with his shield. The power he put into it knocked the gnoll to the side slightly and when it looked back at the knight Alex was already thrusting into the gnoll's exposed side. The sword sliding right through the armor's weak point. He twisted it and pulled it out not wait for it's life to end. He turned and raised up his shield at the other who came swinging. Sparks flew once more as steel hit against steel. 

 Fordes finally had the two arms of the gnoll pinned. It wasn't easy and fordes got a few cuts and scratches for his effort. The Gnolls had natural claws just like him and were famous for biting as well. Forde's has a few puncture marks on his left front leg to prove it. When the gnoll moved to bite again Fordes took advantage of this and thrust it's head down and bite right around the neck. The creature howled in pain. Now Fordes began yanking and pulling thrashing about. The gnoll was struggling for a good long while but it started to get tired. Eventually it lost the battle and Fordes was able to tear chunks out. Not enough to kill the creature for they had thicker necks then humans. That didn't stop the dire wolf for it kept biting and all it took was two. The first one got a lot of the matted fur out of the way and some flesh. The next bite tore out it's jugular. Once it stopped moving the dire wolf stepped off and began  tending it's own wounds liking them.
