The trolloc with the sack <trolloc 1> steps forward to meet Yuri and Tomas, who were moving to opposite sides of it. This time, the borderlander was not able to avoid the huge, scythe-like sword<8 pts of damage; ouch!>. Yuri truly wished he had not left his armor back at the inn.
Lord Tomas took advantage of the opening. There was no honor in stabbing a man in the back, but this wasn't a man, so the young noble had no such concerns.<8 pts of damage to the trolloc>.
Neither of the trollocs noticed Pedron creeping around behind them. It seemed that the trollocs were no better at noticing him than his uncle's guests were.
Yuri gritted his teeth and slashed; his Warder's sword found a flaw in the trolloc's crude armor, and the beast fell dead <critical hit, 19 damage>, dropping the sack. Another human cry went out as the sack hit the ground, but a child's hand reached out of the top of it.
Seeing any chance at a snack gone, the second trolloc turned to run. But the trolloc stumbled as its legs were trapped in Shalimar's Harden Air weave. Despite the trolloc being immobilized, Jain's daggers missed terribly<rolled two 1s>.
When Sirsei wove Create Fire to place a flame in the trollocs eyes, she shouted for the others to back off <because if she and Shalimar mainted their weaves for a few more rounds, the Trolloc would die, and there was nothing it could do about it>. It was clear the trolloc wanted to run, but something was stopping him, and equally clear that that fire had appeared out of nowhere.
Pedron was the first to the sack, helping a young girl, about six years old, step out.
[ooc: If you're wondering about the third trolloc -- it was planning on ambushing the others as soon as the fighting started. But when Yuri and Tomas killed the first one in a round and lost their snack, it decided that it wanted no part of fighting you.]
