Rhun's Greyhawk OMEGA Campaign (ToEE) - Continued

[InVinoVeritas]

Ciaran curses. "More?"

We must find a way to get past these guards, Ciaran thinks, as he fires his crossbow at Deren's target.

Zirat charge the same Troll Merrick just sliced.

COMBAT, ROUND 1

Deren grabs the other flask from his pack. Unfortunately, though he'd forgotten about these two, he had hoped he had forgotten about maybe a dozen more, but alas! that was not meant to be. "I'm out after this!" he calls back as he throws his other one at the same Troll. It strikes true, and the troll roars in pain and bats at the flames with its clawed hands.

Sir Merrick moves a little closer to the exit, making room for the others to follow then spins and brings his glaive down upon the wounded troll again. He hisses "Again Deren!" and wishes he had gotten more flasks for the mage and the Prophet. "Four trolls." He curses. His aim with his glaive is dead on and he strike, and the troll staggers, going to one knee beneath the force of the knight's blow. The troll bellows in rage and fights back, leaving bloody claw and bite wounds upon the knight's body.

Aeron rushes out of the first room and past the nearest troll, stopping after running up a couple of steps to shout back at you. "Hurry it up! We must escape them."

The flaming troll claws at its head and shoulders, trying to put out the flames, but to no avail...it continues to burn.

Seeing the nearest troll distracted by the alchemist's fire, and hearing Aeron's call, Ciaran bolts for the relative safety of the stairs, rushing past his companion and almost gaining the landing where the stairs turn to head north.

The other two trolls move in on Zirat, slashing at him with their claws, but somehow the wily gladiator dodges and dances to avoids those deadly implements.

Zirat steps closer to the exit and slams his own weapon down on the wounded troll, cutting another ragged wound across the brutes chest.

Sir Merrick moves a little closer to the exit, making room for the others to follow then spins and brings his glaive down upon the wounded troll again. He hisses "Again Deren!" and wishes he had gotten more flasks for the mage and the Prophet. "Four trolls." He curses.

 

[Rhun]

I'm sure it doesn't make any difference, but I figured the troll-reek and the fact that Zirat detected four evil beings beyond the door would have given the four troll thing away.

OOC: Next post will be up tonight; I was waiting on Strahd, but I'll just NPC Zirat for the round.

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

Zirat will swing his chain, while taking a 5ft. step toward the exit

Ciaran Ap'Callain - NPC'd by Rhun

Seeing the nearest troll distracted by the alchemist's fire, and hearing Aeron's call, Ciaran bolts for the relative safety of the stairs, rushing past his companion and almost gaining the landing where the stairs turn to head north.

COMBAT, ROUND 2

Deren pauses as he suddenly realizes he is all alone with the Trolls between him and the exit. Desperately, he grabs his handful of worthless glass beads and hurls them across the room. "Take these gems and leave us alone!" he cries, hoping they believe his bluff, as he flees after his friends.

Sir Merrick slashes the heavily wounded troll and steps closer to the Prophet. "Zirat, Deren, Move out now! Prophet, healing! Ciaran, be ready with caltrops!" The great troll, having taken so much damage, collapses from the powerful strike of the knight's polearm. Its wounds continue to knit together, though, even from where it lays unmoving on the ground.

The flaming troll is distracted by the burning alchemist fire, and continues batting at the flames, ignoring your troop. It appears to get the flames batted out this time around, though, taking no further damage for the fiery liquid.

The two other dangerous trolls fall for Deren's ruse, dropping to the ground to grasp at the spilling "gemstones."

Ciaran moves to the far side of the landing, and ensures the way is clear up the rest of the stairs. He pulls a bag of caltrops and readies to throw it, waiting for Merrick to give the word.

"Save yourselves, " calls the champion to Aeron and Ciaran. "Deren hurry!" With that, the gladiator slams his chain into the closest standing troll, and moves to flee.
