Intro goes here. I'm not so good at making text examples.

"If war is inevitable, we might as well strike first. I've already ordered the entire Crimson Blade to assume position. Listen, I want you to lead this battle. Go to the Docks, gather some fellow mercenaries, and head to the Perilous Ruins."

Tips & Hints
To obtain the Crimson Rage Helm, players have to aim a spear right for Gnoll Chieftain's head. If the hit is successful, the player will notice the helmet pop off and a black dust appear. Players can also use objects or certain attacks (e.g. Firebolt, Windmill) to hit the Chieftain's helmet. Only one player in the party needs to do this in order for the entire party to receive it. Hits to the helm while the chief goes to his knees after being speared or struck with a heavy object will not count towards taking the helm off. When the chief is on his last bar of health he will occasionally go to his knees, when this happens the helm can be knocked off easily.

For an easy win against the boss, at least one player should bring Chain Hooks to pin down the boss with while the others attack.

Trying to win with two or fewer players might seem intimidating after a player's first run, but a duo can easily win with one player chaining down the boss while the other attacks it. Once this player is out of chains, the second player should switch roles with them. This should get rid of at least 2 to 2.5 bars. With at least one half to 1 bar remaining, start attacking the boss when he gets tired (which is after he attacks) to finish him off.

Story Spoilers
Shayla tells the player immediately after the battle, in the story A Job for Shayla (3), that the Gnoll Chieftain was the wrong Gnoll to kill. She was right. The Gnolls were split into two factions: those that allied with the Fomors, and those that were against the Fomors. The Gnoll Chieftain was the leader of the faction that opposed the Fomors, and after Decisive Battle, the entire Gnoll race, now undivided, allied with the Fomors.

The confusion started early. After the ambush in the Prologue, Marrec asks the player to investigate the Perilous Ruins Gnolls in Marrec and the Crimson Blades. When the player is attacked for unrelated reasons, the Crimson Blades and the Royal Army wrongly assume that the Perilous Ruins Gnolls are allied with the Fomors, and a preemptive strike against them is ordered.

It was the Gnolls from Fobellow Prairie and the Ruins of Sanctity that set up the bell tower ambush. This can also be seen by comparing the clothing style of the Gnolls in the Prologue to the Perilous Ruins Gnolls and the Prairie Gnolls.

Most of the story in Prairie Entrance/Ruins of Sanctity deals with the other faction of Gnolls and their leaders.
