HIGHLANDER'S REALM ("D&D" FORUM RPG)

Again, try not to think what "Should" you do and think what "Would" you do. What would your character do if, as he was walking along the road, a buffalo almost trampled him and suddenly he hears sickening laughter and men's cries in the distance.
Would you regard the elven girl who seemed to enrage the beast at all?
Would you notice the elven woman seeming looking for the laughter?

I guess I should start specifying this in turns, then? Alright, this is turn one!
Ratty, your character will find the source next turn, meanwhile roll stealth and do any other preparations you can think of.

Yeah, I guess it's my fault for not truly having your actions be completed in that "Turn".

On the bright side, I'm actually typing this the moment I saw everyone's actions!

-----Turn 2-----
Leara begins an amazing performance, singing a popular battle song and declaring the Gnolls to be all manner of undesirable insults. The song is so inspiring everyone feels like they can't lose!
All who hear the song can add 2d4 + 4 to any 1 d20 roll they make!
Aldus hums along with the battle song in reverse, and eventually some of the dirt beneath him turns blue and rises up into a small Earth Elemental. He feels invigorated by the beast and feels as though his spells will be harder to resist.
Chloe waves her staff around and water begins to spew out of it. After a sufficient amount has been created she gracefully controls it into a shield just as a second volley of arrows appears over the hill. A few lose their momentum as they cut through the water and bop a few guards and gnolls on the head harmlessly. However Chloe couldn't cover everyone as a few arrows smash into the carts! A few soldiers are injured while arrows come down at Leara, Chloe and Aldus!
Leara is struck by an arrow in her shoulder as it pierces her leather!
8 damage!
Aldus fares little better as one plunges through his side, leaving a hole! Aldus collapses on the ground as his elemental goes into a rage and flies at the nearest Gnoll.
8 damage!
Chloe manages to see the arrow in time and steps to the side as the arrow catches her on the foot!
1 damage!

Enna crests the hill, and further along the road, within bow shot luckily, is a band of Gnolls attacking a caravan! She sees that they're flanked by melee warrior and two Archer Batteries! The one on the left is currently reloading bows as the one on the right is aiming. Enna is completely unnoticed by either lookout, who also seems to be directing the Gnolls' fire.

Frogmin doesn't like the sound of that laughter one bit. The elf child doesn't seem to be concerned, but that's her own fault. He turns to leave as four Gnolls, each with a grizzly smile, wearing pelts and wielding spiked clubs, emerge over the hillside behind them!
