Hearing the commotion outside Ellyn rushed outside with her harp and saw what was going on 'Oh my! what in the name of elves are THEY!!! doing here!?' Ellyn began to question herself as she heard the noises of the gnolls and stepped out, falling flat on her face due to how long her dress was. She didn't know what to do, so many to choose from and so little time. She couldn't even fascinate because she was so distracted by all their weaponry and whatnot. 

In the end she stood up quickly and picked the gnoll closest to her and started to play countersong in hopes of damaging the gnoll quickly. And sure enough it did, her sound wave based attacks hurt the gnoll. Ofcourse it didn't kill them off so she decided to play as many countersongs as possible in order to kill this gnoll off, even if she was the last one to kill hers.
