Gremo swings, better than usual, but probably not good enough

Today Gremo Oblington rolled 13 on 1d20+2 and 5 on 1d10+2

The Paladin pulls a flask of oil from his belt, but it misses the creature and breaks on the shelves on the far wall.

14:14, Today: Your GM, on behalf of Tenpiece, rolled 4 using 1d20+1. –

”May the Radiance forgive me, I never thought I would cast this…”

She invokes a prayer with words transposed, and her hands radiate darkness.

She reaches for the monster, but the creature steps back as it tosses Barghujin aside.

14:20, Today: Aberna Phillifent rolled 10,4 using D20+1,d6+1 ((9,3)).

Maple grits her teeth and leaps forward — “You’ll pay for that!” The attack falls short

20:54, Today: Maple Libitina rolled 10,6 using d20+3,d8+3.

The strange twin of the paladin raises his mace and swings, making a solid hit on the troll’s jaw.

10:17, Today: Major Tenpiece rolled 17,5 using D20+4,D6+4 ((13,1)).

The troll grabs both knights and buries his claws deep.

10:25, Today: Your GM rolled 17,5,20,1 [6] using D20,d6,d20,d6. –

”Twins, have we? Perfect for my experiments!”

Having success(?) with his first attack, Dantes tries again.
12:40, Today: Dantes rolled 3,4 using d20+1,d6+1 ((2,3)).
Oof.

In reply to Your GM (msg # 28):

This time Gremo swings true!

today Gremo Oblington rolled 16 on 1d20+2  and 8 on 1d10+2

”Let them go Anselm!” he chokes.

”I turned off the Double Helix, and I’m the only one who can turn it back on!”

The troll double-takes at the two knights in his hands and looks the one who spoke up in the eye.

”A-HA! A timelost CLONE! I KNEW IT! You WILL show me how to make my OWN clones…starting with MYSELF…”

The troll throws the original aside like a rag doll and bolts down the stairway you entered from, shutting the secret door behind him.

As the troll leaves Barghujin gets slowly to her feet. "Arghhhh..that hurt!"

Startled by the sudden turn of events Boots runs to the secret door and checks to see if he can open it.

In reply to Boots Hovel (msg # 33):

Roll d6.

In reply to Gremo Oblington (msg # 29):

did this roll actually hit?

Yes it did.

11:25, Today: Boots Hovel rolled 3 using 1d6.  Rolll.

Meanwhile, Maple scans the room to see what’s here

Having just come out of the secret door it’s a simple matter for boots to find where the other side of the lever is hidden. The door opens.

Whilst Boots works out how to open the door, Barhujin pulls herself together as best she can, stringing her bow, and readying an arrow in case she needs to shoot in a hurry.

"C'mon we should hurry. And prevent whatever new plan it is going for."

Boots headed down the stairs again with shortsword and torch at the ready.

As Boots re-enters the staircase, Barghujin will follow him as best as she is able.

Dantes follows along, keeping pace with Barghujin, should she need assistance.

"Let's sneak up on this thing and I will let him have it!"
