The gnolls were archers and it was easy to avoid the arrows as I charged them. They yipped and screamed as they dived out the way. From there, it was pretty easy to run them down and kill them with my axe. I walked back to where they had appeared and looked closely. There was a hole that was hidden in the grass. It could be an abandoned bunker or keep. Gnolls would not be able to build this on their own. I bent down to get my ear closer to the hole and I could hear some rustling and grunts down there. That meant that there were more down there. The hole was too small and steep for a centaur like me to get down there. I called down to alert them of my presence. I was hopeful that they would come up one or two at a time so I could kill them and farm exp. from them. For the most part, it worked like a charm. The fodder climbed up the ladders one at a time for a total of two. I equipped my two hand axes and hacked them to death before the got to the top. It repeated four times before they were able to dodge and survive.

I could tell that they were bigger and stronger than the others. "You must be the females of the group" I said as I trotted a distance away. They had more wicked and sturdy looking spears. They were wounded from my earlier attacks, but it was clear they could keep going. They growled and charged me. I slashed at the nearest one with the axe in my left hand, but it feinted and dodged to the side while the other stabbed with the spear. It got me in the side and it stung. That made me angry, but seeing them taunt me enraged me. I charged that one down and tried to hit it. It stood toe to toe with me and we exchanged blows. I was scraped and stabbed much more than I would have liked. I was able to land a heavy blow and killed it. Before I could blink, the other stabbed me deep in my flank. It was enough to land me into critical damage. I used my healing scroll and healed to half health before turning to face that female gnoll. She licked the blood of the spear and began laughing. It was time to fight.

When we charged each other, I swiped at her. She dodged and leaped closer. I parried her spear and swung at the gnoll again. This time, it connected with her side and she growled at me. I smirked as I picked up the offense until she was overwhelmed. The gnoll was brought to critical health when I hit it with the blunt end of my right axe in the gut. The gnoll looked over to the hole and then back to me craftily. I backed up and allowed it to flee. I did not want to continue fighting it. The gnoll yelped and went down the ladder to the hole. When it saw I was not chasing, it growled and the disappeared from view. With that, I walked on towards the city. My health was going to regenerate as time went on. I sighed and checked my exp. count. I was now level 3. I kept going for a couple of hours and I was content to continue onwards until I hear the sound of multiple horses. On the ridge to the left of me, several centaurs appeared. I was surprised and moved to the right. However, another large group of centaurs appeared there as well.
