I fire another arrow at the legs of dwarf A, intending to knock him off-balance. Meanwhile, the woman grabs a metal tankard from he dropped tray and cracks dwarf B across the face with it. He releases the gnoll and turns in rage toward the woman. I draw my longsword and leap between them (being a ranger I have a great degree of agility) I take a defensive stance, waiting for the dwarf to attack. The gnoll, in his battle-crazed frenzy, swings his axe at dwarf A.
