IG's "Those Left Behind" Chapter 3

[industrygothica]

As Shai shifts his huge frame in the narrow corridor, he steps on Dyspeer's paw inadvertently, causing the wolf to yelp instinctively.

Those engaged in the argument by the fire are too distracted to notice, but one of the trolls begins making its way towards the gate, eying the shadows within cautiously.

Uulark Simental

OOC: Uulark has been trying to remain as still and quiet as humanly possible throughout all of this exchange. When the wolf yelps, he visibly cringes and tries to melt into the wall, but still says nothing. When the troll begins to head in their direction he readies a spell (silence 15' radius to cast on the troll as soon as it is in range.

OOC: Oooops, he doesn't have that spell prepared! Instead he will ready Protection from Evil to cast on Caerwyn, and take a thunderstone from his pouch and hold it at the ready. (What he really wants to do is cast Expeditious Retreat on his own butt and amscray!)

 

[Scott DeWar]

OOC: houston, we have had a problem. I am weearing half plate with a -7 ACP. It is mwk and =1 does that mean he has a -5 insteead? if so then his roll is a 2 instead of 0

1d20-7=0

 

[Shayuri]

Talashia puts her finger to her lips, signaling that everyone needs to be quiet now.

Then, with a fearful glance, she tries to gauge the distance from the party's location to the entrance to the hallway...

(ie - are we within range of its darkvision? )

Shaimon Hu'u, barbaric human druid

Shai covers his own mouth as he accidentally pains his wolf companion. Dyspeer, thankfully, quickly recovers from his momentary slip. Both stand shock still as Talashia assesses whether the troll has fully discovered them.

 

[industrygothica]

Despite your efforts to remain quiet and motionless, the troll easily spots you against the shadows. In a blind rage it charges and smashes its hulking frame against the grated door, nearly completely eclipsing the light from the cavern. It reaches its filthy arm shoulder-deep through the grate in a feeble attempt to grab at something, at anything, with its knobby clawed fingers. Fortunately, you are all just out of its reach.

 

[Leif]

Uulark Simental

OOC: Uulark still has Protection from Evil readied but if the troll can't reach us at the moment, he will not cast it yet.

"Feel like fighting something green, Caerwyn? It looks like it's trying to arm wrestle you that way its arm is stuck through like that."

 

[Scott DeWar]

giving Uulark a dark look, he motins for every one to exit the way they came while it is making such a clattering racket.

 

[Scotley]

Rogash

The dwarf takes a few silent steps and then hears the yelp. With a muttered curse he sends a trio (1d20+9=26, 1d20+9=22, 1d20+3=16) of arrows (1d8+4=10, 1d8+4=11, 1d8+4=11) into the troll. "No more time for yammering in the dark, fight or flight?"

OOC: Move Silently (1d20+8=27)

 

[Shayuri]

"Flight," Talashia whispers. "Everyone, back the way we came!"

She urges the others ahead and hurries after them, looking back as she goes. If there's any indication of pursuit, she prepares to cast a spell to block the passage behind, if only briefly, and give them a head start.
