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!"
