The gnoll went tumbling head over end when Helze kicked him from the tree. His some of his claws were left in the truck having torn off from the force of the kick he wasn't expecting. He landed with a sickening crunching sound, either dead, or knocked out from the force of the landing.

The gnoll took the sand right in his eyes, unfortunately for Dru they had a good sense of smell though. He collided with it, but he didn;t take him down. He felt the Gnoll's Claws dig into his skin as they began to grapple. It must have known he was coming, though it's reaction was barely enough to catch him. The Gnoll without it's eyes for now would be at disadvantage, as he wouldn't be able to counter his movements, but the claws were incredibly painful and made the gnoll hard to remove. The other one leapt back noticing the assault on his team mate. He circled around Oarloff in a way so that he couldn't easily get struck at by Oarloff. However it took him longer to get to Dru. Oarloff could intercept him and cut him off still.

A cry came from the frontlines as Montebanke took a horrid gash to his abdomen. He clutched his stomach in pain. Squirmy fought desperately tooth and nail to keep them from his friend. He flailed about taking on 3 gnolls by himself, that is until Tiny arrived. The giant Gnoll crashed through them knocking them every which way. He fought a lot like Akuma did using the force of his body to crush opponents. He was covered in shallow wounds bleeding everywhere and yet he stood. He was a machine of death and war and everything in his path bent or got the hell out of the way. He punched a gnoll he knocked to the ground so hard with his Cetus that his foe's exploded into a shower of grey matter. It was as if he had popped a watermelon, only a lot more gory. Tiny took Montebanke's place in the melee coordinating with Squirmy to protect him, they fought with vigor and a fervor like no other. Cookie and Curfew then fell in behind them covering Montebanke on all sides. Cookie's twin swords spelled the doom of the Gnolls that tried to close. While Curfew used the full extent of his chubby body to clobber his opponents. His longsword was used more as a bludgeoning tool then as a real blade. One couldn't help but wonder why he didn't use a mace or an ax. Though it became clear on further inspection his sword was actually a Falchion just like one of Cookie's. It was a sword made for hacking and weighty blows much like an ax.
