Passing Sam in his patterned walk, Dreamljocht stops a moment and looks Sam in his eyes: "Sam, you have been a very loyal companion, something I can't say about the missing men. I promise I'll stand with you if the need arises again." After these words he continues his search.

Halie Looked between Dream and Sam though she hovered a little closer to Sam, more to try and calm him if anything. The cubling wriggled about a bit but she reached down and gently pet its head.

"I don't want to hear it." Right to the point. Sam glances around and back at the halfling for a moment. When everyone is set, Haile leads the way as the group follows the tracks into the woodlands. And more blood becomes visible on the trees the ground..all over. But whos bleeding or dying? As they keep moving, they find a foot covered in blood and torn from its owner. Soon they find another foot, then both arms and hands and lying against the tree is Dove. No arms, no legs. Her mouth is ripped off. Coming out of the woods are two large creatures. One of them drops something and throws it at the group. It barely misses Sam and as he turns, its the cavalier. Both of them howl and growl.

OOC
Initiative!

Also make a Knowledge (Nature) check to figure out what these creatures are.

Filivum's stomach churned as they found the gruesome pieces, and came face to face with the creatures, but he was resolute to fend them off.

OOC: Filivum Springwing rolled 9 using 1d20+3 ((6)).

FInding the gruesome remnantys of Dove chills Dreamljocht  blood in his veins. He fears for the halfling and readies his waepon
As the creatures come fore out of the woods, he immediately takes his holy symbol in his hand and cast Prayer on himself and his companions.

OOC: Prayer: You bring special favor upon yourself and your allies while bringing disfavor to your enemies. You and each of your allies gain a +1 luck bonus on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saves, and skill checks, while each of your foes takes a -1 penalty on such rolls.

Dreamljocht rolled 19 using 1d20+4. Initiative.
Dreamljocht rolled 20 using 1d20+1.  Knowledge Nature (+1 from Prayer).

Halie frowned deeply at Sam's reaction when Dream was telling him that he would back him up. There was definitely something going on between the two of them but she did not approve of the way he was behaving...it was more like a child throwing a tantrum. With a heavy sigh from her nose, Halie proceeded forward, leading the group. Finding the body parts was a bit disturbing but if it bothered Halie, it did not show. She had long been desensitized to blood and gore and body parts thanks to hunting and having to butcher what she'd catch. Her breath caught in her throat as the two creatures came upon the scene, her bow readied with a nocked arrow.

18:43, Today: Halie Delmenn rolled 14 using 1d20+7.  Knowledge (Nature).

Gnemmiert rode slowly along the road astride his pony. It was a long, uneventful journey so far. Stroking the pony's neck he snorted to himself, "Just as well, eh, Old Boy? Just as well."

As he went along, the dwarf spotted a large shape along the side of the road. As he rode closer, and shape didn't seem to move, Gnem's attention focused. It was a wagon. "Why you think it was just left here at the side of the rode? Guess well find out so keep your eye open."

Slowing as he came along side the wagon Gnem saw the remains of the dog and the mess of tracks around it and the wagon. "Can't tell how many where here..." With a grunt he slid from the saddle, taking a rein in his left hand he walked to the pony to the side of the wagon. "Best you stay here while I have a look around. No you'll be fine. I'll come back now, hush!" Drawing his musket from the saddle holster Gnemmiert walked over to the body of the dog. With a considered "Hmmm," he traced the dominant steps until he found the trail heading off to the woods.

Trudging off along the trail, he went as carefully as his legs and saddle sores could manage. Gnem started to think about turning back, but as the trail turned to gore he pressed on. Just as he came upon what he assumed were the people that made the track he was following, the two great beasts came out the woods. "BLOODY HELLS!" Pulling his musket to his shoulder Gnem shot off a round at the nearer of the two creatures.

These big brutes were terrifying, and Filivum knew that his electric touch could deliver a nasty shock, but he didn't wanna be near them, and was afraid that one hit from them would cause him to be knocked out, so, he pointed at the one that has hit the elven cleric, and shot a blast of lightning at him.

Filivum Springwing rolled 18 using 1d20+5 ((13)) attack (ranged touch)
Filivum Springwing rolled 8 using 1d6+2 ((6)) damage

Emboldened by his shot, Gnem moved closer to the beasts. After about 7 or 8 quick paces, he shouted "LOAD!" and locked back the musket's hammer. Steadying his musket, and his mind, Gnem took a practiced shot at the same beast as before.

Dreramljocht takes the wound in stride; he keeps further damage at bay; working the monster with his scimitar and shield. "Those are trolls! In the end we must kill them off with fire or acid!" he shouts to his companions and the new one, who made his entrance with a bang.

He attacks the monster that attacks him.

There were several soft curses that slipped her lips, worried for Sam and the others yet also not willing to get in too close given the baby bear cub that was still worned, snuggled, to her chest. She nocked an arrow and let it fly, nocking and releasing another in rapid succession.

Dreamljocht casts his Cure Moderate Wounds spell, touching himself. Immediately he feels somewhat revived. He fights completely defensive now, letting the offensive attacks to his companions.
He sees the heavy wounds Sam suffered, but he cannot wage to use his channel healing energy as it would help the troll as well. He hopes that Sam, will keep out of more harms way, so he can heal him soon.

Dreamljocht rolled 18 using 2d8+5. Cure Moderate Wounds.
Fighting defensively: +2 on AC => 20 (including Prayer)

Genm is not boosted by Prayer as he was not near enough at start

Filivum decided to spring a little surprise at the critter, and began to cast a spell "Arga! Gonda! Avecua!" and a ball of electricity formed in his hand, which he proceeded to throw at the creature.

Gnem cursed as he could see the creature's wounds heal themselves. "Bloody troll! We need FIRE!" as he squeezed the trigger.

Even before the smoke cleared the dwarf yelled, "Load!" and managed to squeeze off another round. The second round hitting in nearly the same place as the first shot.

Dreamljocht grabs his holy symbol and presents it to the monster shouting: Sarenrae, hear me in my need and casts Searing Light.
He projects a blast of pure light, hitting the critter square in the chest, staggering him back for a moment.

Dreamljocht rolled 18 using 1d20+7. Ranged touch attack.
Dreamljocht rolled 15 using 2d8. Damage from searing light.

Stepping back to get out of its reach being so close, the cleric casts his spell as searing light hits it in the chest. It howls and steps back before falling to the ground not moving. The blast from the gun hits it along the back of the head. Sam pulls out his kurkris and takes a deep breath.

Gnem approaches the fallen troll, keeping his musket trained on the creature. Stopping about 10 feet from the creature, "Will that light show be enough, elf, or does someone need to break out their torches?

"Go ahead, best be safe. I'll keep it covered while someone tinders their brand."

"Torch it." Sam stands up and glances at Haile. Realizing she is okay, the rogue starts to walk over to the gunslinger. His eyes narrow as he watches the dwarf but instead of having a argument or starting anything-he simply goes over to the dead bodies of the cavalier and sorcerers and removes anything of value. He's a thief but doesn't try to hide it. Its really hard to tell what is going on in his mind. First he checks Dove's body then the Jems most of the gear is either scattered and visible or gone-perhaps in the troll's lair. Most of Jem's gear is messed up and is of no use or not found and the body of his dog lies back on the road. There's a few blankets but they are torn about, and any other gear is either messed up or some is missing. Least there is enough food and water as well as blankets for the time being. Perhaps with more time other items or gear could be found but there may be other creatures loming around. Of course Jem's body was torn in half....

Dove's Gear:
-Masterwork L Crossbow
-Crossbow Bolts  (18 Left)
-Dagger
-Light Mace
-Spell Component's Pouch
-Wand of Create Water
-Runestone of Power (L1) 1   2,000   Necklace   a coil of metal looped through a simple iron chain. The rune means 'Hope'.
-Book of Desna

Jem's Gear:
-Compass
-Wand of Cure Light (50)
-Chain Shirt +1
-Dandy Brush

When they torch the troll, Dreamljocht gives a hand, wrinkling his nose for the stench the corpse produces. As soon as the body is gone, he gathers everyone who is wounded, especially Sam, as he seems the most heavy wounded.
"I could not use my channeling of positive energy earlier, as the troll would have benefitted too, but now I can heal."

His hand on his holy symbol and a prayer to his goddess results in a wave of positive and healing energy, that everyone feels rolling over.
If someone needs more healing, he prays for a second wave.

"That feels better, I presume, Sam," he asks the elusive man.
When Sam comes up with the wand of cure light wound, he asks: "Would you mind when I take this one? It augments my possibilities a lot."

Dreamljocht rolled 13 using 3d6. Wave of healing energy.
Dreamljocht rolled 11 using 3d6. Wave of healing energy.

Nodding his head, Sam gives the wand to the cleric. He looks at all the amount of gear found and gives out what he feels is best. He winces in pain, gritting his teeth just as he and well everyone is hit with two waves of healing energy. The rogue nods his head afterwards "Thanks." He glances at the dwarf, watching him for a moment realizing its probably best for him to not ask any questions.
