Message: <blockquote data-quote="Morgaine" data-source="post: 200110" data-attributes="member: 2393">Kalina calls upon the forces of nature to create a cold snap that freezes the lumbering creature.  While this bitter cold does not stop it, it is certainly moving slower and with more effort.  This is a fortunate happenstance for Borin who manages to duck away from another giant claw swiping at him.  Borin turns quickly and levels his axe into the creature’s back causing another giant gash.  Marja blasts three more magic missiles right into its chest while Morgaine flings a Melf’s acid arrow into its side.  The acid burns away the green, rubbery flesh, creating a foul stench.  Wounded and bleeding badly, it once again roars in pain and charges toward Morgaine.  Deke steps between the creature and Morgaine, crossbow loaded and fires.  He hits but the creature keeps bearing down on a now horrified Morgaine.  With one final sweep of his axe, Borin manages to send the creature over the edge of the rocks, presumably to its death.Deke jumps down to search the body and notices that the leg Borin hit is no longer injured.  Puzzled he scans the creature’s body and sees the injuries re-growing before his eyes.  Suddenly, the murky, yellow eyes snap open and it moves to grasp Deke.  Screaming, the elfin rogue leaps up to the ledge and runs toward the cave where his companions are recovering from the midnight siege.  “It’s not dead!  It’s regenerating!”  A wave of fear and dread passes through the party even as they attempt to comprehend the gravity of their situation.  The troll (as they now know it to be) climbs to the ridge above the cave in an attempt to jump onto Morgaine, the only party member to injure it permanently.  All other wounds it has regenerated, yet the acid from Melf’s arrow is still boring a hole into its side.  Marja blasts three more magic missiles and Morgaine manages to conjure another acid arrow, which again finds its mark on the troll.  Once more it howls in pain then leaps down on top of her.  The terrified mage tries ineffectually to escape its clutches but the creature is far too strong and grapples her to the ground.</blockquote>
