Kerravin moves with the others and then sets up with his bow and rapier at the ready. Ensuring that his lantern's wick is good and wet he lights it with the hood down. Setting the lantern nearby he waits.

Tanner finds as good of a spot as any of the others got. 1/2 cover and a view of the rock trail leading from the hill top, around a few corners of large rock outcroppings to their small strand of trees.

Studying the horn which the gnoll had dropped when he had turned to run the bard spotted a few strang ruins engraved in the Ram Bone horn. The ruins looked old and were more than likely Gnoll in design but with out a good light it would be hard to determine.

Listen: 12+0=12 :|
They are too far to really pick up much. You hear a word or too but it's hard to distinguish what they are saying exactly. The words you do hear is Fall Back ... Advanced group ... Sleep ... Ogre ... Cave beyond that the words are too garbled.

BIP:
Kain along with the others finds a spot next to a tree. He could see the narrow rock trail that snakes up the rock hill side past a few bushes, large rocks to the top of the hill. So far he still could not see any sign of the enemy but he could hear them.

Turrold could hear Ryli laugh and reply in common. Then you will face an even great disadvantage being at the bottom of the hill. Anyone have any weapon to brace for a charge attack?

Taking up a battle area that was closest to the trail the dwarf gets cover and waits.

Warblade picks up his gear and follows the others. He finds a spot along with the others and prepares for the attack.

OOC:
Here is a basic map of what the area looks like. The map is NOT to scale.

Anyone that wants to be ready to shoot will have 1/2 cover from trees or rocks. If you are waiting for hand to hand like Turrold then you can have 3/4 cover. The trees and rocks aren't big enough for 9/10 cover.
