"I'm not sure. It sounds like we could get past them without a fight, but that may just end up meaning they'll be coming up behind us later."

Lenya

“Some of us should talk to them first. Who knows, maybe one of them would like to help us,” Lenya says, winking.

After the whispered conversation regarding alternatives, the party decides to "talk" to the green guardians and attack if necessary.

Realizing that the green guardians may be powerful enemies, the party casts several spells in preparation for this battle.

Lenya casts Shield on herself and lends her wand to Lylamwyn and Kerwyn so that they can cast Shield on themselves.

Belaver casts Barkskin on Craven and Raner.

Kerwyn uses his wand to turn himself Invisible.

Craven and Raner drink potions of Bull's Strength.

The party enters the room where Kerwyn saw the two green guardians.

The party discovers there are now four large green creatures. Two of the green skins are wearing black full plate armor covered in gothic spikes and armed with huge great swords. The other two aren't wearing armor or carrying weapons. Belaver and Lylamwyn realize the green skinned creatures are Trolls. Belaver and Lylamwyn know that Trolls are vulnerable to fire.

As the party approaches the Green Guardians to "talk", the party members suddenly realize that there are four people behind the green guardians. Two of them look armed and equipped like Det and Kev. One of them looks demonic, she has horns, hooves, and a tail. Another looks like Maridosen and she is shouting, "Kill them!"

Initiative Round 1
26: Maridosen shouts and draws her rapier.
22: Lylamwyn casts Fireball, catching all eight enemies in the blast radius (dmg 22, Reflex DC 18, all fail: Trolls 1+, 9+, 5+, 3+, Maridosen 8+, Demon 9+, grunts 14+, 6+). Both grunts and the demon fall to the ground (dead or dying).
21: Four Trolls (-22 each) charge the party (the two with swords are power attacking -6, +12). One troll attacks Lylamwyn with a powerful blow from a great sword (4+13+2 charge-6pa=13 miss). One troll attacks Raner with a great sword (12+13+2 charge -6pa=21 miss). One troll claws Raner (19+9+2=30 vs. ac 30 hits, dmg 9). One troll claws Craven (16+9+2=27 vs. ac 26 hit, dmg 11).
21: Demon (-17) fails to stabilize
21: Raner drops his shield and cuts the Troll that clawed him in half (power attack -4/+8, 20+/15+ confirmed critical, dmg 70, Troll rolled 1 on massive damage fort save and failed). Raner then drops the other unarmored Troll (cleave, 14+12-4=22 hit, dmg 21; second attack, 14+7-4=17 hit, dmg 23)
20: Lenya blasts Maridosen with an Empowered Eldritch Blast (18+, hit, dmg 10)
20: Two armed flunkies: dead
11: Craven attacks the armored troll that attacked Lylamwyn, calling upon St. Cuthbert to aid his blows (smite 11+10+1=22 vs. ac 23-2=21 hit, dmg 14; 2nd attack 5+10=15 miss)
8: Toriah shoots his magical shortbow at an armored Troll, but misses (4+ vs. ac 23-2+4=25 in melee)
8: Det and Kev (mercs) draws bow and shoot arrows at Maridosen (16+, 1+, both miss)
7: Kerwyn invisibly moves past the Trolls and attempts to backstab Maridosen with his dagger, but stumbles on a loose stone and misses (1+ miss)
6: Belaver begins summoning a Dire Wolf

"Sure.", Lylamwyn mumbles in response to Maridosen's shout, and casts Fireball, aiming to catch as many enemies as possible (Trolls are first priority). Lylamwyn then moves a bit backwards to safety, keeping an eye on their new mercenaries, just in case they decide to change sides again.

Once the blast from Lylamwyn's fireball clears Raner charges one of the unarmored beasts (Power Attack -4/+8).

Lenya

“Shoot her!” Lenya tells Det and Kef, pointing at Maridosen, while her own ghastly fire reaches out towards her former co-worker.

Initiative Round 2
26: A frustrated Maridosen says, "Curses!", stabs Kerwyn, and then tumbles past him away from the party and deeper into the Darkness (19/7+10=17 does not confirm critical threat, dmg 9; tumble check 19+) (out of sight of everyone but Lenya, Kerwyn, and Raner)
22: Lylamwyn backs up five feet and casts Scorching Ray at the Armored Troll that attacked him (touch attack 4+6=10 hit, dmg 19)
21: Krall (Troll Fighter 2, -41/-9) steps forward five feet and swings at Lylamwyn again, cutting the elven wizard in half (20/14+13-6pa=21 confirm critical hit, dmg 68). Krall swings at Craven, but misses (15+13-6pa=22 miss, 11+8-6pa=13 miss).
Slaszh (Troll Fighter 2, -22) continues to pound his great sword into the floor, trying to hit Raner (12+13-6pa=19 miss, 12+8-6pa=14 miss).
Troll (-22/-39) recovers consciousness
21: Demon (-18) fails to stabilize
21: Raner attacks the normal Troll, dropping him back into unconsciousness, then attacks Slaszh (7+12=19 hit dmg 15, cleave 3+12=15 miss, 19+7=26 hit, dmg 17)
20: Lenya blasts Maridosen with an Empowered Eldritch Blast (13+, hit, dmg 12), dropping her
11: Craven moves 5' and attacks Krall, calling upon St. Cuthbert to aid his blows (smite 11+12+1=24 vs. ac 23 hit, dmg 16; 2nd attack 5+10=15 miss)
8: Toriah shoots his magical shortbow at Krall, but misses (9+ vs. ac 23)
8: Det and Kev (mercs) shoot arrows at Krall (7+, 12+, both miss)
7: Kerwyn tumbles behind Krall (15+) and stabs Krall (17+, dmg 11)
6: A Dire Wolf comes around the corner and charges over Lylamwyn's dead body into Krall (bite 4+ miss)
6: Belaver tries to see if there is anything he can do to help Lylamwyn

Initiative Round 3
26: Maridosen (-44) fails to stabilize
22: Lylamwyn (-68, dead)
21: Krall (Troll Fighter 2, -41/-31) swings at Craven, but misses (16+13-6pa=23 miss, 12+8-6pa=14 miss).
Slaszh (Troll Fighter 2, -22/-12) continues to pound his great sword into the floor, trying to hit Raner (16+13-6pa=23 miss, 12+8-6pa=14 miss).
Troll (-22/-49 unconscious)
21: Demon (-19) fails to stabilize
21: Raner (-9) feints towards Slazsh, misses, but then chops Slazsh's head in two with a powerful backhand swing (10+12=22 miss, 20/19+7=26 critical hit, dmg 53; massive damage save 5+14=19 pass; cleaves into unconscious troll hitting (8+) for another 21 points)
20: Lenya blasts Krall with an Empowered Eldritch Blast (13+, hit, dmg 16), dropping Krall

The party defeats and burns the bodies of Krall (who slew Lylamwyn) and the two normal trolls.

Lenya charms Slaszh. Although stupid and not able to speak anything that Lenya understands, the Troll does seem to understand common suffiienctly to comprehend what Lenya wants it to do.
