[QUOTE="mikeawmids, post: 8020025, member: 6776411"] [U]The Adventures of Fap Longwood #37 (Tyranny of Dragons)[/U] The party retreat onto the roof of the lodge. From their vantage point, they can see the tops of a mist-shrouded town further down the mountain. Assuming that this is Parnast, the heroes head in that direction. It’s not long before they hear sounds of pursuit. The cult have picked up their trail and are hot on their heels. Fap finds a good spot to spring an ambush and the heroes lie in wait of the hunting party. Three drakes enter the clearing, followed by a pair of troll handlers and a four-armed troll called Trepsin, the cult’s huntmaster. Fap shoots the lead drake in the neck, felling it instantly. Mara immolates the two trolls with [I]Fireball[/I], neither troll are able to regenerate HP this turn. Brian casts [I]Shield of Faith[/I] to boost Horatio’s AC, as the fighter charges to attack the burning trolls. Trepsin makes five (!!!) attacks and rends Horatio for 22 dmg! Horatio takes a full round action to defend, hoping to keep Trepsin occupied while the rest of the party wear down the other two trolls. Fap back-flips away from the two drakes and lays down fire on the two trolls. Trepsin flurries at Horatio, who parries his claw attacks with deft precision. Mara blows up one troll with a second [I]Fireball[/I], while the other troll claws Brian for 29 dmg. The cleric drops [I]Cure Wounds[/I] (lv2) on himself. Horatio continues to defend. With a roar, Trepsin ignores Horatio and turns toward Mara! The little wizard squeaks in fright and throws a hasty [I]Firebolt[/I] at the charging troll. Realising that Mara is in grave peril, Brian tries to finish his opponent off with [I]Inflict Wounds (lv3)[/I], but misses! Horatio attacks Trepsin twice, both miss!! Fap ignores the drakes snapping at his heels and also shoots at the four-armed troll, he also misses!!! It seems the gods have decided Mara Lemonrock must die. Trepsin hits Mara with all five attacks for a staggering 54 dmg!! Mara drops to the ground like a bloody ragdoll. To add insult to injury, the troll also recovers 10 hp (bastard). Brian channels divinity to preserve life, specifically his and Horatio’s. Horatio cuts off the other troll’s head and turns back to Trepsin. [B]“Er… Horatio!”[/B] Brian cries, pointing to the decapitated body, [B]“Look out!”[/B] The headless troll is crawling around on all fours, searching blindly for its missing head. Before Horatio’s eyes, a second, melon-sized head begins to sprout from the troll’s shoulder, all bug-eyed and baby-faced. [B]“Oh for fudge’s sake!”[/B] Horatio growls. [B]“Kill it with fire!”[/B] Brian yells. Horatio throws Brian his explorer’s pack and the cleric lights up a pair of torches, tossing one onto the regenerating troll and handing the other back to the fighter. The first troll writhes on the ground as the flames consume its rubbery hide. Trepsin knocks the torch out of Horatio’s hand and grabs each of the dwarf’s arms in two of his own. [B]“This is gonna’ hurt,”[/B] Horatio predicts, bracing himself for the pain to come. With a crackle of bone, Trepsin breaks both of Horatio’s arms and tosses the dwarf aside. Horatio flops around like a landed fish, but cannot right himself. [B]“We can’t win!” [/B]Fap cries, [B]“We’re all going to die if we stay here!” “We can’t abandon our friends!” [/B]Brian retorts, standing his ground. Trepsin lunges and grabs the cleric in a four-armed grapple. No matter how he struggles, Brian cannot break the troll’s grip. [B]“Drop your bow or I will maim this dwarf also!”[/B] For a moment, Fap considers running… but he can’t bring himself to do it. He looks to Mara, ragged and bloody, sprawled across the trail. He looks to Horatio, still struggling to rise despite his two broken arms. He looks to Brian, trapped in the troll’s ruinous embrace. With a cry of frustration, Fap tosses his weapon aside and allows himself to be taken. [/QUOTE]
