Nolo smiles for no apparent reason.

His attention equally divided between his ears and his nose, Erdthar stood ready for attack through the wall or from their invisible trading-partner.

Quindil: 20

Falk: 13 Shield of Faith grants +2 Deflection Bonus. Current AC = 26. Divine favor: +1 atk/dmg
Nolo: 12

Quindil throws out a coin to alert his comrades that he is ready for action.

Argost remains on the roof of the goat ready for action.

Vespian converses with the invisible woman for a moment and then alerts her comrades through telepathy that something is approaching.

Falk cast another useful spell on himself.

Nolo is also staying in his position.

The invisible woman seems to stand in place, it sounds like she smirks at Vespian’s last comment.

Erdthar backs up against the back door of the goat, keeping himself close to where the invisible woman should be, but away from the far wall of the alley.

Pello taunts the invisible woman as he stays on top of the roof.

It’s a good thing that Erdthar stood back. Before Pello can even finish his taunting the wall across from Goat’s explodes into tiny little fragments as a huge troll like beast steps out into the alley. The troll stares across to Erdthar with beady red eyes, its red skin pulses as it tightens its muscles. The beast looks to have a helm atop its head but closer looks shows that it is a metal plate grafted into his head. The beast looks as if he is about to strike out at Erdthar.

With a swift thrusting motion, Argost points the wand in his hand at the massive creature that had just burst into the alley and uttered a single syllable. Three short silver lances laced with purple energy launched into the air, flying at the creature's exposed chest.

The sudden arrival momentarily stuns Quindil.  He recovers but does not move...charging into battle it probably just what the enemy wants and he'll not fall for that old trick!

Holding firm.  Quindil is hunting magi, not cybernetic trolls.

Reacting almost at the same time as Argost, Pello weaves a spell that sends a roaring pillar of flame from his hands. The flames impact the troll's head at roughly the same time as Argost's purple lances strikes the creature's chest.

Ever slow to start, but fast once he gets going, Erdthar charges the 10 feet straight into the beast, swinging a vicious 2-handed strike into the creature's waist.

Falk takes a few steps forward, reaches out and with a look of disgust, touches the great beast with his hand

"Tempus Curse Thee!"

Curse: 50% chance to act normally, otherwise, target takes no action. Will save 16 negates

"Nasty Beast! You could have messed up my hair!" Vespian shouts at the monster. May your rotted hide infest with a thousand fleas!

Casts Doom, Will save of 15,

Nolo takes his queue from Quindil and remains in position, but gets his bow ready, looking for a halruan mage to fill with arrows.


Move Action: Draw weapon
Ready action to fire an arrow and disrupt spell casting.

Initiative:
Quindil: 20
Argost: 18
Vespian: 13
Falk: 13 Shield of Faith grants +2 Deflection Bonus. Current AC = 26. Divine favor: +1 atk/dmg
Nolo: 12

Erdthar: 5 HP: -27
Pello:

Quindill holds his ground as the beast bust out of the warehouse wall.

Argost blast a few more lances out of his wand that strike the creature. When they hit they did damage the nasty beast, but didn’t seem to draw his attention any, he seems fairly focused on Erdthar.

Vespian uses one of her handy spells and attempts to doom the creature. She completes the spell yet the creature does not seem to be effected. Although, his hide is already pretty nasty (Will: 21)

Falk tries a similar approach. Oddly enough, two of the stronger fighters in the group resort to child’s games, but none the less he steps forward and attempts to curse the beast. It doesn’t seem to have any more effect than Vespians spell did. (will: 20)

Nolo draws a weapon and noks and arrow.

The invisible woman seems to stand in place. As she can not be heard walking, but the alley did just get aloud and a bit busy for one to pay too much attention to her.

Erdthar makes a quick charge and swings a mean blow toward the beast. One of the large plates of metal deflects Erdthar’s blow. The troll seems to smile for a brief second there after.

Pello launches a bolt of fire that nearly takes Falk’s head clean off, lucky for the two of them the troll is some 10’ tall so Pello aimed a bit high to miss the Human.

After being struck with the flaming bolt the creature tears into Edrthar. He swings in with his two claws at almost the exact same time and then reaches down to snap at Erdthars head with its teath. (Claw1: 24, claw2: 14, Bite:25) The first claws slashes across erdthar’s chest but the second claw swings wide. Erdthar thinking that he held off most of the attack was surprised when he looked up to see a gaping maw come down on his face. (Damage: -27hp)

Angry at the beasts surprising resilience, Falk attempts steel instead of magic.

Falk Zumbe rolled 26 using 1d20+9. Attack Roll.
Falk Zumbe rolled 8 using 1d8+5. Damage Roll.


Falk let's out a cry of triumph as his weapon digs into the beast's leg.

Under his breath he mutters something loud enough for Pello to hear but not any of those gathered in the alley.

"Bladerager... Typical."

Rather then focusing on the beast in the alley bellow, Argost looks around for signs of the beast's masters/summoners. The true threat here was hardly the giant monster.
As he does so, he nonchalantly points the wand in his hand in the creature's direction and once again utters the single syllable that unleashes a volley of arcane lances in the creature's direction.

Vespian wastes a futile flash of thought trying to search her mind for an insult the troll would understand and settles for: "Bad Monkey!" Which in its turn is followed by a wack of her shiny new sword.

21:15, Today: Vespian St.Brandi rolled 7 using 2d6+4. Damage.
21:14, Today: Vespian St.Brandi rolled 26 using 1d20+9. Attack Troll.

22:06, Today: Erdthar Grimear rolled 18 using 1d20+13. Attack 1.

Pello hesitates when the troll ignores his spell, but then shrugs and summons a burning orb of fire at its feet.

Nolo still did not see the halruan masters of these troll creatures, which made him wonder if they would ever make an appearance.  Patience, patience...good things come to those who wait.


OOC:
Maintain readied action

Quindil: 20

Quindil holds his position, waiting for the time to strike.

Argost launches another volley of lances toward the beast, all three strike the target.

Vespian swings at the beast and takes a small chunk out of it’s flesh.

Falk also swings and strikes the troll.

Nolo remains patient, hoping that the Haluraans will show themselves soon.

The invisible woman remains invisible

Erdthar tries to take some vengeance with his axe. He strikes hard with one of the blades causing a large gash to form under one of the trolls protective plates.

Pello sets a ball of fire a flame underneath the enemy. The troll seems to take some damage from this strike.

With flames burning underneath and 3 people swinging blades at him the troll begins to become more agitated. It roars loudly as it swings wildly toward Erdthar as it takes a step toward the north west, near the invisible woman. The beast shreds into Erdthar with both of its claws. The troll is literally tearing Erdthar apart with its metal tipped claws. (19, 28 hit. -41hp)


OoC: no map update, but the troll moved diagonally north west 1 square, right next to teh inivisible woman

Falk, a little distraught about the blood pouring from Erdthar, takes a step in tune with the troll.

Beast! We will wreck you!

Golden energy lights up Falk's battleaxe as he swings

Using Strength Domain power, +5 strength for 1 round.
Falk Zumbe rolled 13 using 1d20+11. Attack Roll.

Unfortunately, it was a very sloppy swing. The golden hue dissipates rapidly.

Pello scratches his nose in apparent boredom as the troll maneuvers away from his rolling ball of fire, and with a hand gesture sends the ball after the troll. Then for good measure, he lights another ball of fire under the troll's other foot.

Argost frowns slightly as the troll manages to survive the multiple strikes by the warriors in the alley and his frown only grows with the second sphere of flame conjured at the creature's feet by the gnome several steps away from him.
Bladerager's were known to be tough this single creature was unlikely to be the only "trick up the Halruaan's sleeves". Though they were intelligent enough not to show themselves, they were also arrogant enough to do just that if they thought the party weak enough. The question was, which of the two would win over their minds this time around...

Against his better judgment, Argost says nothing of preserving spells for the real threat to the gnome and instead unleashes another volley of purple energy laced lances from the tapered duskwood stick in his hand directed at the creature's chest.

"SaaaaahhhMITE!" Vespian close on the retreating troll and gives a hefty swing, which misses. "or not..,"

Nolo considers his options, he had been patient to no avail, and these creatures seemed to be doing serious damage to his companions.  Without another thought, he let his arrow fly...it stuck into teh creature but he coudl not tell if it did any damage.



14:42, Today: Nolo Arcamel rolled 5 using 1d8+2. Damage.
14:39, Today: Nolo Arcamel rolled 16 using 1d20+3. Attack (-4 shooting into HTH).
I assume a miss.

Erdthar foamed at the mouth and swiped twice more at the troll, chopping at the damned armor without effect.

Rage:  +10 HP, plus all the other crap

Quindil watches Nolo fire off an arrow but still stays his ground.  The alley is too tight a space for another person to try to engage the enemy, his tries to convince himself.
