He slashed the creature. Again the wound was gruesome, but not fatal. The trog could do little to get his spear to thrust.  The other two trogs surrounded Ulfgar. Neither could penetrate the heavy armor. Ulfgar waded in with his hammer. He landed a glancing blow. Thane fired yet another ball of fire. This one struck the trog to Ulfgar's right. Bernedette cast another spell. In front of her an image of Correlon appeared. Erik finished Bartol's opponent. However, there wasn't another near enough for him to catch on the follow through. Veridian and Timmay headed for drier ground.Bartol closed on the trogs. One of the trogs tried to stab him. But Bartol moved to the side and threatened with his sword. He couldn’t get close enough to land a blow. The trogs repositioned. If nothing else they at least had worked together in combat before. But their spears were no match for the dwarven metal. Ulfgar hammered away. Thane brought his cudgel into play. And that left only one. Bernedette thought to use her longsword. But decided against it. She fired a crossbow bolt into the trog. Erik blocked the trog’s retreat. And Veridian fired the last shot in the battle. An arrow protruded from one of the trog’s eye sockets as it fell. Timmay moved to the center of the light sources. Bartol’s lantern was still by the side of the pool and Thane’s lantern was in his free hand.“There’s a door this way,”  Ulfgar said as he ran to the far end of the chamber.“These guys are tougher than I thought,” Bartol said to the air. He set down his shield, sheathed his longsword, and prepared to draw his Grandfather’s Greatsword. But he noticed that Ulfgar was beyond the range of his sight. So he lit a torch and went to stand watch with the dwarf. The others had returned to the pool side.A few moments later, Verdian yelled the party’s War Cry, “TIIIMMMMAAYYY.”“Have you got this?” Bartol asked Ulfgar.The dwarf nodded.Bartol ran back to the rest of the party. As the barbarian came around the bend, he saw Thane casually standing against the wall. His lantern showed a side chamber. Inside Bernedette and Veridian were pelting a very large lizard with missiles. The lizard was chained to the opposite wall. It was guarding 2 chests. Bartol extinguished his torch and bent to pick up his lantern. Erik likewise waited for the inevitable.“I think I can make a decent pair of boots and a belt out of the hide,” Thane commented.“Some druid you are,” Timmay laughed.“Well,” Thane huffed. “The other group from the Flagon Held High doesn’t have to be the only Dragon slayers.”“That ain’t a dragon,” Bartol added. “But I guess maybe theirs wasn’t either.”</blockquote>
