Your party busts through the door and into the large, hexagonal chamber beyond, but you have little time to take in the details. Standing guard are four monsterous trolls; each wears "armor" crafted of bone and leather, but not a single one bears a weapon...for their claws and teeth look deadly enough!
"Fire flasks Deren!" Sir Merrick commands in a hiss as he charges forward taking on the far troll next to the open doorway, cutting a path to escape up and out. His glaive strikes true, but has little force behind it.
Aeron calls upon the aid of Pelor, asking him to bless the company's endeavors against the forces of darkness. His companions feel a calm and focus come over them.
Deren nods as he reaches for his pack. He pauses for a moment as he realizes he doesn't have any flasks of fire. "I don't have any!" he calls back, followed quickly by, "Wait found them." Grabbing a flask, he chucks it at the nearest Troll, striking it in the face, causing it to scream in pain.
Ciaran curses. "More?" We must find a way to get past these guards, Ciaran thinks, as he fires his crossbow at Deren's target. His bolt grazes the troll's muscular green-grey thigh.
Zirat charge the same Troll Merrick just sliced. His chain slashes a wound down the side of the troll.
