"Maybe we could..." Oh well. Any impression that the gnoll might be susceptible to negotiation is moot, once Dalnu's magic strikes him in a flash of spectacular fire. Gurmok therefore switches to battle mode, seeking to bolster his allies.

"Par ma bénédiction
Que vos traits frappent droit
Et qu'à la perfection
Vos coups ici s'emploient!"

He thinks for a second, and casts again, this time to protect himself.

"Un petit bouclier
Ne peut faire de mal
Dans cette échauffourée
Cela est bien normal..."
