You don't need to kill something to defeat it.

You do if it's a troll....
From: Karl
Salix will stand around looking for anyone who needs backup. He'll cast a "don't die" healing spell if anyone looks like they need it.

Harp feels a satisfying chunk as his sword makes contact again. Unfortunately, he had not focused as much on protecting himself this time, and the creature is able to get in a couple of good attacks on him. Out of the side of his vision, he sees Ran step up, ready to help out. Harp shouts to his friend "You want to give some payback to these guys?? Be my guest!!" With that, Harp takes another cautious swing at the troll in front of him and then takes a short step back out of the way. (OOC: attack T3 and 5 ft step to S5. This give Ran room to move to S4 and take his 2 attacks, which opens up T3 for Kal to move into after his attack, which will give room for Mund to move into S3 to take his 2 attacks. Simple. Every gets a chance, just like on the Orient Express.

Subject Vacation
OOC: I will be gone from Monday to Friday next week. Ranthir will continue to fight unless he is heavily wounded again. When the fight is done he will thank all those who assisted in curing his wounds.

Mund rolls his eyes at the ignorant elf and, instead of taking the elf up on his offer to fulfill his bloodlust, he attacks the troll instead.

LOL.

That was great :)

Subject Good/neutral
Crap. I just realized that Mund has been acting more and more NG instead of NN.
From: Porter
Subject Vacation
I'm going on vacation today. Starting on Monday, I'll have sporadic email access. If you need an action from Mund to keep the game going, go ahead.
From: Karl
Subject Good/neutral
I think it's really hard to do that because very few people really are NN. Most people N on the EG spectrum really lean more or less one way or the other. For actions that can be labeled G or E, there aren't many N choices. And for actions that are truely N, G or E only apply in specific contexts and then they apply for everyone.
But all that said, I don't think you're playing Mund out of character. But then again, when faced with N, I usually assume G until I see E. Make sense?

Subject Break?
There are two players who will be out on vacation next week. Do we want to take a break and come back on Monday, July 31? This combat will be over in round 7 or 8 at the lastest and then the end game will start.
From: Porter
Subject Good/neutral
It's mostly that I was so looking forward to playing a more villainous character, but I failed.
I think that Mund works better for me and with the group as I'm playing him, but I'm still a little disappointed.
From: Kevin
Subject Break?
If you get on the ball and write something up tonight, this could end now. If this works right, we could have 6 shots at these things (1 from Harp, 1 from Kal, 2 from Ran and 2 from Mund) this turn.
Lets end it instead of dragging it out another week.
From: Mark
Subject Break
I do think the combat will de done tonight, but I was thinking about after that, the non combat stuff.
From: Derek
Subject Break
Porter said I could take care of Mund while he's gone, so you don't have to stop on his account.

Subject Round 7
Round 7 Initiative: Surin (17), Salix (15),Harp (15) T2-5(15), Ranthir (12), Ragnar (11), Allistair (10), Kal (9), Mund (9)
Surin and Salix still wait for the two fighters in the door to either kill or be killed. The trolls look ferocious, but Harp and Kal seem to be holding their own. Salix is amazed that the lightly armored elf is unscathed in the battle so far.
Glancing around as he parries with the troll, Harp sees that Ran is back up and ready for action. He takes a quick swing (AC16, 9+12=21, hit, damage 8), leaves another green, oozing wound and steps back motioning for Ran to take his place. "You want to give some payback to these guys? Be my guest" Harp says as he makes room for the fighter. As Harp steps back he realizes that he has left Kal alone on the line.
The troll in front of Harp moves away from the door, holding in guts that are hanging from the many wounds. Kal's luck finally runs out. The troll he was fighting moves to the center of the door, and with a less obstructed path, mauls the elf. Stumbling a bit on the dead bodies of the fallen trolls (DEX check, DC15, 4+2=6,fail), the troll's claws reach in and punch a hole in the elf's fine leather armor (AC19,claw 19+7=26, hit, claw 16+7=23, hit,bite 10+2=12, miss, damage 32). The party looks on as the troll rips the elf's belly wide open and drops his lifeless form on the ground. The monster licks the blood from his claws and grins at the rest of the party.
Ran's mind goes cold. Kal had not been his favorite person, but he was a companion. Stepping up into Kal's place (DEX check, DC15, 15+3=18, success), Ran stands over Kal's body and strikes with a hard look in his eye (AC16, 6+11=17,hit, damage 10). His sword finds a open spot and slashes in. As he dodges a bite, he strikes again (AC16, 18+6=24, hit, damage 6) and connects again.
Ragnar had been waiting for something like this to happen. Deciding that he was not going to need to silence anyone today, he sacrifices that prayer for a healing one. He chants his prayer and kneels down to touch the elf with the battle lords healing grace. The troll swipes at him (AC26, 6+9=15), but the dwarf moves out of the way just before the claw hits. (CmodW, heal 17.) Kal sputters, and his eyes flutter, a vacant look in his eyes.
Allistair continues to look for a way to cast his one of his fireballs, but holds off.
Kal pushes and pulls himself way from the troll, grasping Ragnar's arm. He does not get far in the slippery troll and elf blood that covers the floor.
"Damn stupid elf." Mund says as he takes his place besides Ran. His axe a blur of steel, he lays into the troll and starts cutting off body parts (AC16, 5+12=17, hit, damage 10, 20+7=27, hit, critical threat, crit threat roll, AC16, 9+7=16, hit, critical hit, damage 39). His first swing cuts off a hand, but his back swing catches the troll right in the forehead and splits the skull in two. The axe cuts the troll almost in half all the way down to its chest. The thing falls to the ground, green blood flowing from the gapping head wound.
OODM: End of round 7

Subject Round 7
I guess I was a bit sloppy in refering to which troll did what and who attacked which troll.
Harp attacked T3. It moved on it's turn and T2 stepped into the doorway. All other attacks were done by or to T2.
From: Kevin
Subject Round 7
OOC: Mark, would Salix know if Mund's huge attack was sufficient to "decapitate" the troll?
