OOC:
Firstly, about your RL commitments...see my post in Innarleith in the FR board.

Secondly, No prob on the AOC bit...
I'm assuming two things in this post: a) Turrold has some cover from the dragon and the gnolls, and b) that he's too far away from his crossbow.

BIC:
Seeing the gnollish figures in the bush, Turrold Crimson-Axe is torn as to what to do... Clearly the main threat is the dragon, but he has had no luck whatsoever in striking it. The gnolls provide a softer target (and he HATES humanoids, all of whom work for Turrosh Mak as far as he's concerned) and their arrow fire can be devastating. And he's REALLY hurt.

He makes a quick decision.

"Caellan, lad! I'm fer needin' yer good offices here!"

He stays in cover until he can get some healing...then he intends to kill gnolls to cover his shame at being a weakling.

If a gnoll approaches his tree, however, it DIES!
