(CSRHoD) Creamsteak's Red Hand of Doom [IC]

Initiatives - Round 1
Warren 23
Larian 18
Tyrla 15
Pender 13
Avril 13
Siobhan 13
Trolls 11

Warren edges a bit closer while Larians fireball flies out and explodes into the two trolls dealing 19 damage.

Tyrla's Eldritch spear strikes for 12 against the Troll on the west side.

Pender delays to act.

Avril conjurs the flaming sphere on the same Troll Tyrla blasted, but he manages to dodge it initially.

Siobhan conjurs her spiritual weapon, which strikes the speaking troll. The blow deals 10 damage.

The most injured Troll (T12) takes a full-round-run into the forest, attempting to use the trees for cover. The troll near Warren moves to (P13) while drawing and licking a fresh javelin. He throws it at Larian, landing a weak but fair cut for 4 damage. The troll in the west moves closer, drawing and licking a fresh javelin, and throws it at Tyrla, missing.

All three trolls regain some of their stamina, even from the fire damage.

Larian is immediately forced to make fortitude save. He passes.

Larian, Transmuter 6, HP 29/29, AC 19, Fort +0/Ref +5/Will +5

The wizard watches in horror as the troll's flesh seems to heal even where his flames have burned it. These are like no trolls I've seen before. Avril, do you know what is needed to truly harm them? With no idea how to directly damage the creatures, Larian uses his arcane powers to increase his allies' quickness.
[sblock=ooc] 5' step to K11, move action to find and use Rod of Extend, then standard action to cast Haste, targetting all 6 PCs. It won't affect Pender's horse, but it should still give Pender an extra attack on a full attack action. [/sblock]

"I say we beat them down, and figure out a way to keep them that way later," Siobhan notes. Drawing back her hammer she charges the troll that moved itself to be a better target (P-13). At the same time, the spiritual weapon keeps on attacking.
[sblock=Changed statistics]The values do not include modifiers for charging.
AC 22, Touch 13, Flat-footed 20 (+6 Armor, +3 Shield, +1 Dex, +1 Dodge, +1 Deflection)
Ref +5
Speed 40ft
Melee Warhammer +11/+11 (1d8+5/x3)[/sblock]
 

Lacking any other ideas, Tyrla unleashed another arcane blast at the troll she had injured. Like most folk, she had thought such beasts were susceptible to fire- beyond that she knew little which might harm them.

OOC: Eldritch blast +8 ranged touch (+1 if within 30 feet, +1 if hasted), 3d6 damage (+1 if within 30 feet)
 

Warren the halfling, HP 39/39, AC 24, Child of Shadow stance

Warren moves towards the troll, going around Siobhan, and positioning himself right on the opposite side of the troll and flank it, blade ready. Shadows continue to curl about the halfling and obscure his exact position somewhat.

[sblock=ooc]Just moving to whatever space is opposite the one that Siobhan charges into when she attacks the troll. Child of Shadow stance continues to give Warren concealment.

I factored in the Haste to Warren's AC above, but not his movement speed for this round, since Larian casts it after Warren has already moved, but before the trolls' turns. Otherwise Warren could've moved and attacked this round.

Avril's Babau Slime spell is still active on Warren, also.[/sblock]
 

Avril - Human Druid - AC 18 - hp 42/42 - Spot +12 - Listen +12

As the battle picked up in pace, Avril once again inwardly expressed a longing for Scarlet beside her. She seemed lost without the dog, unable to fight on her own. With a tired movement of her wrist, she moved the flaming sphere back onto the troll that had escaped it, while at the same time pulling some components together to call fire to her own hand. This she threw at one of the trolls not engaged in the battle. She maintained her position amongst those allies that remained near her, not wanting to approach the trolls any closer.

[SBLOCK=OOC]
OOC: Still can't see the map for some reason, but she'll take a 5 ft. step to find a position to avoid any cover and allies in melee if possible. Produce Flame Ranged Touch Attack: +7 (+3 with any cover). Damage: 1d6+5. Move flaming sphere onto the same troll as last round. Reflex DC 15 negates 2d6 points of fire damage.

Initiatives - Round 2
Warren 23
Larian 18
Tyrla 15
Pender 13
Avril 13
Siobhan 13
Trolls 11

Larian casts his haste spell, increasing the effectiveness of the rest of the party.

Warren and Siobhan double team one of the trolls. Siobhan's charge lands for 6, and Warren sets up the flank.

Tyrla and Avril release their respective spells, the combined barrage of flames and eldritch deal 25 damage and drop the troll (includes flaming sphere, eldritch blast, and Produce Flame).

Pender moves into position to strike the Troll, dealing 14 more points of damage and dropping the beast unconcious.

The Troll caught between the rogue tries to withdraw his position, provoking an extra attack from Warren. Warren scores a critical hit, dealing 10 points of damage. All trolls, including the one that's unconcious, recover a bit of their wounds. The one farther away looks back to see one of his brothers dropped, and decides to continue the withdraw. "We be backs for yous!"

(Since the only troll on-map currently is unconcious, I'll avoid posting a rather useless map. Currently one Troll is VERY far away, while another is just 60 feet south-east of Siobhan/Warren's new positions.)
 


Warren the halfling, HP 39/39, AC 22, Child of Shadow stance

(for reference.....Warren's short sword at the moment deals 2d4+10 damage on a critical hit; withdrawing meant it didn't provoke from the flanked square, so no sneak attack, but still....then again, I dunno if these trolls have some kind of DR)

Warren dashes after the retreating troll that he had injured, swirling his blade around for a burst of flames!

"Avril! D'ya know how to kill these things?! Fire ain't doin' it!" he shouts along the way.

[sblock=ooc]Unfortunately, the troll being some 50-60 feet away makes it too far for a single move action even with Haste, so Warren charges. He initiates Burning Blade on the way, attacking at a total of +14 to hit for 1d4+5 damage plus 1d6+5 fire damage.[/sblock]
 

Tyrla glanced quickly around, taking stock of the trolls. Then she fired off another arcane blast- while they might not be able to easily hurt the creatures, they could at least keep the beasts from attacking...

OOC: Another eldritch spear, at whichever troll is in line of sight and furthest away; 250 foot range, as long as she has a clear view. +9 ranged touch, 3d6 damage. Maybe if we can keep them out, we can tie them up?
