The large man adjusts his horned helmet on his head, also scanning the camp. He held two throwing axes, one in each hand. As he licked his lips, obviously ready for battle he looked down the line of vikings gathered with him and nodded grimly.
"I'm told their leader has magic at his back. What type I'm unsure. There are probably sentries about the camp, so keep your guard up."

The Largest Gnoll(GB) comes from the main tent, and he howls with rage, his muscles bulking and veins bulging in his neck as he hoists his greataxe in the air and screams.

Another rather important looking Gnoll(GC), garbed in furs and carrying several fetishes of feathers and bones stands at the edge of the main tent.
Various other Gnolls(Gr1-4) Appear brandishing twin axes, Two more appear holding longbows(Ga1-2)
Grinning with satisfaction at the first Gnolls bloody death the totemist turns and charges the next one, no longer bothering with keeping silent.

Seeing her companions harried by the gnoll raiders, she mutters and incantation to the nature spirits, and their chaotic flames, calling flame into her palm. She hefts it as if it were a sizable rock and eyes one of the archers down range from her.

As Gunnar moves in to charge the large gnoll in front of them the Runelord brazenly steps forward, slamming his axe towards the hulking gnoll brute.

Ford draws the falchion from the scabbard on his back. as he squeezes the grip, he is overcome with that familiar old feeling. He lets his blood lust take hold of him, and vents it constructively toward the gnolls near him.

Aldi
Hefting the ball of flame in her hand she hurls it down range at the Gnoll archer that shot in her direction. Aldi then commands her bear to engage Gr2, and it barrels off to threaten the archer.
Boren looks around, seeing the gnolls on this side dealt with, and rushes around one of the tents to see Fengr and his adversaries, stepping up beside the totemist and ripping into Gr2.
As the totemist is joined in his fight by Boren, the gnolls attention is split, and its attacks are easily avoided by the seasoned warrior.
"You have to do better than that!" He growls as he darts back in with his claws.
Seeing the Gnoll in front of her fall to the mighty Falchion of Ford, she moves to engage GA1, and stop his annoying archer fire.

Spoiler

Boren
Seeing Fengr down his first opponent, and then turn on the one near both fo them the large man hefts up his greataxe and slams it down, confident that they will have the battle won quickly.
Ford Destroyed the Gnoll in front of him, and Kjersti was able to move up to engage the archer on their side, injuring it. Fengr killed the Gnoll he had been battling and turned to score a hit on the one to his side as well, with Boren not managing to bring his axe onto the gnoll. Aldis fire flew wide, and her bear was only able to occupy the gnoll archer that is downrange. Valgard slams his waraxe home into the gnoll leader once more, the large gnoll looking bloody and torn up, but still moving. Gunnars attack swings wide and only manages to cut a large gash in the tent they fight near.

Fengr is able to destroy the Gnoll that threatened he and Boren, and Boren moves to intercept the Gnoll Cleric, bringing his greataxe into the creatures shoulder and certainly getting it's attention. Ford is all sound and fury and kicking dirt, but the archer remains elusive. He is not so fast to evade Kjerstis chopping axes, and she scores a hit against the gnoll. Valgard swings low and slices into the Gnoll leaders knees and Gunnars greatsword goes high and cleaves a deep furrow into his chest, and their combined might brings the barbarian to his knees, and he slumps to the ground dead.
Gr1
Howling in rage at his leaders death his eyes turn wild and he swings in a wide arc, which finds Gunnar its target.
