Darra twists his fingers and then points them down, and a web explodes over the table, sticky tendrils lashing out in all directions.. but not reaching any anchoring walls falls into a sticky mess on the floor and dissipates. Trajan and Lysander both jump down the 20 foot from their viewing place and run towards the goblins. K’tan is out of power, so he loads his crossbow. M’ir crouches down in cover and prepares to give someone an intimate recollection of past pain. The others await their chance.Down on the floor, the goblins and gnolls react quickly to the surprise situation. Several of the gnolls move to engage the two Jazumai, one blue skinned goblin looks up at M’ir and amidst the tinkling sound of bells grabs him with a brain lock”Hah, I only need a 1 to fail a save against that DC” says M’ir. Rolls a 1. The Gnolls are considerably tougher than others that they have met before, stronger and with apparent insight into how to hurt humans… they must be gnoll rangers!Trajan manages to catch one of the goblins flat-footed, and with his quickdraw focus and his new sword exploding with lawful energy he does tremendous damage to it – and is astonished to see the goblin shrug it off. Flying into a fearsome rage, the goblin draws a shining longsword which crackles with electricity. “You!” cries Lysander – it is the one-time leader of the barbarian goblins who has slain Lysanders first friends in this land with his magic sword!Darra launches another web, this time attempting to catch two goblins which are between the table and a wall. This time the web takes, although a bodyguard gnoll frees himself and engages Lysander, the blue goblin is caught, crying out “Thimdrul, save me!”. K’tan and Syl start missile fire against goblins and unengaged gnolls. Meanwhile, the goblin who is evidently named Thimdrul changes… with a grotesque sound of cracking bones his body grows and reshapes itself into the form of a large troll !Trajan is under attack from two gnolls, the barbarian goblin and another roguish goblin who gets in a nasty flanking attack. One of the gnolls is taken down but Trajan cannot stand against their combination of blows and falls.Darra, seeing his companions in difficulty jumps out of their lookout post and featherfalls to the ground under the influence of Syl’s magic. Landing lightly he shouts the syllables to unlock the lightning and once more throws his hands outward – his lightning bolt killing one gnoll and seriously wounding the blue goblin who is still struggling to free himself from the web.Unfortunately, none of his other companions move to join him down in the chamber – with Trajan down and Lysander hard-pressed, one Gnoll and a goblin with a crown on his head run across to flank himAnd as the goblin-turned-troll steps nearer, huge bear claws spring into existence on the ends of his enormous arms…</blockquote>
