Suject: Turn

Sorry I did not get anything out yesterday.

I will get round 3 out today.

Subject Round 3

Retcon from round 2.

Salix realizes that someone will have to behead the creatures once they are down or they will start getting up. With the troll that the party is fighting now looking very cut up, Salix moves forward, drawing his scimitar as he goes. Moving cautiously, he closes some of the ground between himself and the monster. He positions himself so that he can but the head off the thing if and when it falls.(Move to U5)

Round 3 Initiative: Harp (18), Salix (18), Surin (17), T2-5(15), Ranthir (12), Ragnar (11), Allistair (10), Kal (9), Mund (9)

Harp's joy at watching the first troll fall is short lived when he sees that there are 4 more of the monsters still to go. Luckily they have the advantage of position. However Ranthir was seriously hurt and needed healing. Motioning Salix to come forward and decapitate the troll in front of them, he grabs the healing potion at his waist and hands it to the druid as Salix comes forward. "Get this to Ran after you kill the troll. We need his sword." Harp then readies himself for when the next troll moves to attack.

Salix nods as he efficiently cuts the head from the troll. Green ichor spurts from the neck and the eyes flutter briefly, as if the thing was about to wake up, even with all the gaping wounds. He then looks up and sees the glowing green eyes of the other trolls advancing on the party.

While this is happening, Surin sees Ranthir back away from the fight, holding his belly. The halfling can see blood and entrails seeping from between the fighters hands. Surin does not hesitate. "Take this. Looks like you need it more than I do." Handing Ranthir his potion, the halfling then moves over behind Kal. "Hey, Kal. Move over a bit, would you. Maybe I can hit the thing in the back when it comes through."

The troll just across from the door roars at the pain from Allistair's fire ball and runs full speed at Mund and Ragnar (Bull Rush). As the thing clears the door jam the waiting party members fall on it like an avenging sword. (AOO,AC16, Harp 6+14=20, hit, damage 6, Kal, 3+14=17,hit, damage 12, Mund, 6+13=19, hit, damage 10,Ragnar, 1+10=11, auto miss, Salix, 18+6=24, critical threat, crit threat roll, AC16, 12+6=18, critical hit, damage 4). Amazingly the creature is still standing although body parts lie all over the floor. The creatures bulk starts to push Mund back but the monster is not able to budge the dwarf (Bull rush 3+6=9 vs. 4+7=11, fail). Ragnar snarls, digs his heels in and pushes back, forcing the troll back from him and Mund.

Harp, ready for the charge of the troll, strikes again as the thing passes (AC16, 20+14=34, hit, critical threat, crit threat roll, AC16, 12+14=26, hit, critical hit, damage 17). Harp's swing cuts the legs out from under the thing and it falls to the ground.

Ran grabs at his waist, desperate to find the healing potion that is supposed to be there. He panics for a second when he remembers using it before the battle, but Surin's quite voice brings him back to himself. He hears the halfling saying something about needing something and before he can process it the little one is gone. However there is something smooth and cold in his hand. The 1/2 elf looks down and there one of the potions. Too grateful to question, Ran pulls the stopper with his teeth and swallows the sweet liquid (heal 10). The burning pain in his belly softens just a bit. Ran is able to look up and sees Ragnar hold the troll back and Harp cut it down.

Ragnar uses his sword to cut the head from the second troll piled in front of him(Coup De Grace). As he looks up he sees another troll charging the party. He is just barely able to stand in time to catch the thing on his shield (T4, bull rush, 6+6=12, 15+7=22, fail) Again the dwarf is able to fend off the rushing attack of the troll and keep it from getting any further in to the room.

Allistair sees that there is no open shot for this fireball so he chants for another mage arrow. Three bolts of energy streak from his fingers again and find their target (Damage 12).

Kal's rapier darts in (AC16, 20+14=34, hit, critical threat, critical threat roll, AC16, 14+14, 28, hit, damage 16) and buries his rapier in the trolls side up to the hilt. Trying to damage some vital organ, the elf twists the blade as he pulls it out, green blood pouring from the wound.

Mund, his eyes blazing, swings his axe in a full circle, just clearing Ragnar's helm. The axe blade bites (AC16,14+13=27, hit, damage 7) deep into the trolls chest. Pulling the blade back, he twirls it and cuts down again (AC16, 17+8=25,hit, damage 11), this time catching the troll in the middle of its head. The skull cracks and Mund and see what looks like brains through the gaping wound. However, the troll does not die.

OODM: End of round. I need round 4 actions. I have included a new map.
