Ryliranna nods, "A defensive position would be ideal. We can use these rocks or move ahead about 100 feet. There is a small strand of trees in a small level area where we should all fit. The only problem is that if we go into hand to hand they will have the highter ground and thus a slight advantage but no matter what we do until we get to their home base we will be fighting the gnoll up hill."

Taking iniative the elf moves out with bow in hand towards the strand of trees she reports to be ahead of the group.

ooc:
What will the humans be doing since they can only see about 5-10 feet in front of them? If they don't have a lantern or torch the best they can do is hth when the gnolls attack.
