OOC: Thanks for the clarification! I guess I should have realized that from the fact they were both attacking Aram.

[kinem]

Ripclaw scores some nasty hits on the troll he's attacking, but the tough giant ignores him for now.

Aram scores one slash on the troll he's attacking.

Father Fuller blasts that troll with a loud spell of some kind. The troll reels but remains standing after that.

Keira sends another volley of magic missiles at the same troll, and it finally goes down with a loud thud!

Yet not for long, perhaps - the wounds on the unconscious troll continue to heal quite rapidly.

The remaining troll tries to claw at Aram and bite his head off, but can't touch the dextrous dervish.

Aram steps further away from the troll that is still standing, and aims a deadly cut at the downed troll, in an attempt to sever its head from its body!

With the one foe felled, at least for now, Father Fuller steps up and calls upon Amauntor to heal his ally, Aram, to continue the warrior's fight against the Master.

[kinem]

The earth elemental and Ripclaw pound and rip the standing troll, though the stony creature refuses to go down.

Father Fuller walks over and puts his hand on Aram, healing the warrior. (Aram hp 52/64)

Keira sends more magical darts into the standing troll. It teeters but roars and does not fall.

Aram carefully lines up his scimitar and slashes at the troll's neck. The blade connects but the monster's head remains attached. The troll's wounds, new and old, continue healing.

ooc

Coup de Grace is a full round action. Sneak attack damage applies. The raw damage was 25. Special rules apply to the troll.

The standing troll steps closer to Aram and tries to crush him with its stony claws and bite his head off, but he ducks out of the way.

[Rhun]

"Now feel my bite!" growls Aram, letting loose a series of strikes against the troll that is still standing. He simply hopes that his companions have some method of stopping the enemy's incredible healing abilities.

[renau1g]

Father Fuller steps towards the troll and is intent on smiting his foe, the abbot's strength is aided by his god and he feels as strong as a bull, but unfortunately, his swing is well shy of his target.

[kinem]

ooc: I assume that Aram would move east, not south (see map) to reach the troll and flank it with the elemental.

With the small earth elemental helping to distract the troll, who is also a bit sluggish from Ripclaw's poison, Aram is able to score three solid and well placed strikes with his lightning-quick scimitar dance. The troll crashes to the bloody ground, unconscious.

However, the wounds on both trolls continue to heal rapidly.

ooc: Actions?

[Rhun]

OOC: Oops, yes...east!


Aram whips his scimitars down again and again and again, slicing and dicing the troll's body, inflicting as much damage upon the brute's from as possible.

"I would say we should burn them, but there is a gas leak... and not much air in here... best keep hacking!" Girgal suggests as Ripclaw doesn't stop his attacks.

[Rhun]

"Hack and slash, slash and hack...a warrior's work is never done," mutters Aram, as he continues to hack at troll body.

[kinem]

Eventually, even the incredible healing rate of the trolls is not enough to keep them alive in the face of the continuing attacks. The bodies are torn and mangled, and show no signs of breathing or healing.

ooc: Will you do anything else before continuing?

[Rhun]

"Well, I must say that was a most unpleasant experience." With those words, Aram cleans his blades and sheaths them, and then proceeds to check the bodies of the fallen enemies for valuables or useful items.

[kinem]

Other than wounds, there is nothing on the bodies of the fallen trolls - not even clothing. The strange boulder-creature likewise carried nothing.

[Walking Dad]

Girgal, AC 23 (T15, FF20), HP 57/66, F +11,R+8,W+14

"Who needs...", Girgal looks at fuller: "... or does healing?"

"I suppose I could use a bit of healing, still," says Aram, indicating the not-quite healed wounds caused by the trolls.



AC: 25, Hit Points: 52/64

[renau1g]

Father Fuller will cast some minor spells on the others that slowly knit their wounds.

OOC

Cast Lesser Vigor on himself and Aram, regain 18 hp over 18 rounds.
Cast CLW on Girgal converting Protection from evil to it CLW (1d8+5=6) Boo-urns

[Rhun]

"Thank you, Father." Aram stretches, feeling much better after the cleric's healing.

[Walking Dad]

Girgal, AC 23 (T15, FF20), HP 63/66, F +11,R+8,W+14

"Thanks", Girgal says to the cleric and uses his own wand on the battered Ripclaw. "What know?"
