Re: Eryn Lasgalen (Mirkwood)
Ymir, with surprising speed, raises one gauntlet clad hand towards TROLL 2 and a shimmering emerald bolt blazes from it. The acid splashes against the Troll's bark, sizzling and leaving a scorch mark, but it does not seem to even be enough to gain the creature's attention, so far as Ymir can see.
Both Bofri and Evia steadfastly stand their ground, resisting the impressive blows from their Trollish opponents.
Bofri's mattock swings around and crashes against the monster, forcing a fierce bellow from the Wood Troll (extra attack damage applied :)
END OF ROUND 3
ROUND 4
(Okay, so my initiatives are as follows:
Initiative 2 is Ymir
Initiative 4 is Thrir
Initiative 7 is Óli, Nendiel, Dwór, Kronin
Initiative 9 is Bofri
Initiative 10 is my five TAWARTEREG
Initiative 14 is Evia
Ymir's action for THIS round.
Thrir swiftly lunges with his enchanted sword, biting deep into the Troll's horny hide. A fountain of black blood spouts from the wounded leg, befouling the ground around the beast. The canny dwarf notes the Troll (#3) stumbles as it shifts its weight. Clearly they are wearing it down.
Dwór battles alongside Kronin, slashing with his short sword and savagely cutting across his Troll's right arm.
Kronin swings his magical axe with a single mighty blow and takes the left hand off of his Troll (#1)
Nendiel speaks in rapid Bethteur "Naur dan i Tergteur!" and in her fair hand she conjures a small globe of glowing green fire, which she hurls at the astonished Troll! The creature's left arm erupts in green flames and it howls terribly and falls to one knee!
Óli shouts a Dwarvish curse and brings his scimitar to bear, but somehow misses the huge beast and embeds his blade in a nearby tree!
Bofri's action.
TAWARTOROG 1 The severely wounded creature refuses to die, this time bludgeoning Dwór with the remains of his knobby club. The Dwarf flies backwards, hitting a stump hard, the falls to the ground and lies still.
TAWARTOROG 2 Again turns his attention to Evia, attempting to pummel her with his sledge like fists. He smashes her once, determined to kill the Dwarf maid before he himself perishes at her hands.
14:28, Today: Secret Roll: Eru Illuvatar rolled 5 using 1d20+4. Tawartereg attack: THACO 13 (-4 against dwarves).
14:28, Today: Secret Roll: Eru Illuvatar rolled 16 using 1d20+4. Tawartereg attack: THACO 13 (-4 against dwarves).
14:30, Today: Secret Roll: Eru Illuvatar rolled 13 using 1d8+6. Tawartereg fist damage.
Evia takes 13 points of damage :(
TAWARTOROG 3 is panicking and attacks wildly. Since he cannot decide who is the greater threat to him, he attacks Bofri with one fist and Thrir with the other, but misses them both.
14:42, Today: Secret Roll: Eru Illuvatar rolled 9 using 1d20+4. Tawartereg attack Bofri: THACO 13 (-4 against dwarves).
14:42, Today: Secret Roll: Eru Illuvatar rolled 10 using 1d20+4. Tawartereg attack Thrir: THACO 13 (-4 against dwarves).
TAWARTOROG 4 tries to help his dying companion (Troll 1) and swings both fists at the Nendiel, whom he judges to be the greater threat after seeing her able to invoke fire! He hits her with both fists (and rolls a natural twenty). He picks her up and crushes her angrily in his fist, then drops her to the ground where she lays in a crumpled bleeding heap :(
14:55, Today: Secret Roll: Eru Illuvatar rolled 24 using 1d20+4. Tawartereg attack: THACO 13 (-4 against dwarves).
14:55, Today: Secret Roll: Eru Illuvatar rolled 18 using 1d20+4. Tawartereg attack: THACO 13 (-4 against dwarves).
TAWARTOROG 5 looks down at Evia and Ymir, then decides to aim his blows at Ymir. The Artificer deftly avoids the first blow, but is smote hard by the second one.
15:09, Today: Secret Roll: Eru Illuvatar rolled 7 using 1d20+4. Tawartereg attack: THACO 13 (-4 against dwarves).
15:09, Today: Secret Roll: Eru Illuvatar rolled 15 using 1d20+4. Tawartereg attack: THACO 13 (-4 against dwarves).
15:12, Today: Secret Roll: Eru Illuvatar rolled 11 using 1d8+6. Tawartereg fist damage.
Ymir takes 11 hit points damage :(
Evia hammers the wounded Wood Troll in the chest, splintering his trunk with a loud crack. It topples backwards (fortunately for her and Ymir) and does not rise again, much to the other Troll's dismay.
OOC: Okay, as I said, things are getting ugly now. Two of the trolls are severely wounded and one is down, but so are Dwór and Nendiel :(
To complete this round I need the following actions, please:
An action from Bofri and Ymir.
A STRENGTH check from Ymir.
A STRENGTH check from Evia.
If Bofri or Ymir's action kills or defeats a Troll before its attack, I'll make any needed adjustments to this summary.
Also I need initatives and actions for ROUND 5. I'm pretty sure we are coming near to the end of this encounter.
