He then poured any remaining flasks of lantern oil onto the troll and set him ablaze. I don't think that is unreasonable. I guess I misused the coup de gras term. As for me coming on this board to riducule my players as one poster put it, you must have gotten the wrong impression of my posts. I was asking if it was far out of character for trolls to fight defensively. It was a very tough fight, I knew that when I designed it, but I also knew that if they fought smart and had a strategy, they could win with out too much trouble. It was a fun and memorable session (IMO) and I thought I'd relay the basics of the encounter for those who were replying.   Most of the replies thought it was reasonable. Yes I did read the MM where it states that trolls generally attack fearlessly.  So thanks for you post petrosian or whatever, but try to tone down the condecention in your future posts. Its not for you to judge my game or wether I'm a good dm or not.</blockquote>
