The party (Torr, Idky, Lowdog with Diawané the grizzly, and Yavin) prepares to attack the troll's lair. Lowdog casts hunting paint on the bear, the snow leopard, and Idky, who then uses his tracking to reveal that trolls, giant trolls, dragons, dragon-trolls, and giant worms live in area.
As the party approaches one of the entrances to the troll lair, there is a giant troll guarding. The troll starts launching boulders, and the group charges. The monster bellows and another giant troll comes out of the caverns. Idky casts prayer as the fighters start attacking. Lowdog and Diawané drop one troll in the first salvo while Torr kills his. Yavin finishes off the trolls with the flaming axe
The group then enters the cavern, and Idky casts find traps and protection from evil 10’ radius on himself. Almost immediate, the heroes find themselves battling two regular trolls, which Torr stuns with a pair of blows from his holy sword. Lowdog takes Idky’s place and takes down a troll. Yavin finishes off the downed troll with the flaming axe. Between Lowdog and Yavin, they kill the second troll.
Four trolls, who heard the combat, come down the passageway. Unfortunately, Torr and Idky get surprised and attacked by trolls
Yavin mind thrusts one of Idky’s trolls, keeping it out of combat for a round. Lowdog takes out his troll, and he and the bear go help out Idky, dropping the troll. Torr stuns his troll and attacks Idky’s too, stunning it. The monsters don't stand a chance and die quickly.
Idky tries out the dragon tooth dagger on a troll and finds it leaks acid into the wound
Two more trolls arrive. Lowdog and Diawané move to engage them. Yavin finishes off the two downed trolls with the axe. The next two trolls are now dead.
Lowdog casts detect magic to see if there are any magical items. Three large pillow-like things radiate magic. Lowdog touches one, and it turns into a baby remorrhaz. The heroes kill it very quickly.
Idky tries to put one in a sack, but his skin manages to touch it, and it turns into a baby remorrhaz. Again, the heroes kill it amazingly quickly, but not before it damages the bear.
Lowdog attacks the other pillow thing, turning it into a worm. But again dies before it can put up much of a fight. Moving on, the party comes to a room with three red crystal ‘statues’ of half-elves.
In the next room is a troll with black, scaly skin with dragon’s head. It spits acid at everyone. Idky casts prayer, as the fighters charge
They kill it quickly.
Treasure:
Golden wand, partially melted from heat *
Next room, they encounter a big burly troll. It charges to attack
Torr and Lowdog finish it off quickly (the DM pouts).
Treasure:
Ruby *
Flickering crystal *
Silvery fur (like winter wolf pelt)
100 gp
Next room, there’s one troll. Additional trolls spawn from its wounds. Idky casts flameblade and the party kills the main body and with flameblade, they kill them all the spawned trolls permanently.
Treasure:
Flickering garnet *
Idky flamebades the nascent remorrhaz, and the group take it out
While finishing up in the room, another massive troll wanders up
Lowdog and the bear charge and take it out quickly.
Next room has a door with a magical trap. From the other direction, a black troll covered in dragon hide comes charging the party. It orients on Yavin and tears him up. Torr interposes and kills it
Four more of the same kind of troll run down hallway and the door opens. A troll from the doorway attempts to faerie fire the party, but Torr’s sword absorbs it. Lowdog takes on the charging trolls, who pour past him and take on other members. The spellcasting troll tries to faerie fire Lowdog and fails. Yavin mind thrusts the troll on the bear. Lowdog takes out his and orients on the bear’s troll, chopping off its right arm. Torr stuns his troll and takes on Idky’s troll, stunning it as well. The spellcaster screams something in troll and closes the door. Idky dispels the magic trap on the door
Idky casts invisibility on himself. Lowdog rams the barred door, shattering it. The troll witch is cowering in the back of the room. She attempts to hold him but fails. He, Torr, and the invisible Idky move in on her. While the three heroes murder the troll witch, ten normal trolls, the king, and another spellcaster come pouring out and attack Yavin and the bear.
Diawané doesn't stand a chance and dies in a flurry of blows. Meanwhile, two other trolls critically hit Yavin and drop him, just inside the doorway to the room. Lowdog and Torr take on the two trolls who make it into the room, blocking the entry.
The king hastes the trolls, and the other faerie fires the invisible Idky. Idky casts darkness in the doorway. Torr moves into the darkness and hacks at trolls. The darkness disappears (one cast a light spell). The king casts quick change against Torr, but he reflects it back. Idky brings Yavin back up with cure critical wounds.
Idky and Yavin get faerie fired. Ten rocks in the room turn into giant rats. Idky throws down 11 sticks, turning them into constrictor snakes to attack the rats. Yavin gets up, as Torr continues to hold the hallways with Lowdog. Yavin starts killing downed trolls.
The king casts slow at the party. Torr’s sword protects him and Lowdog. Only Yavin and 6 snakes get slowed. Idky casts flameblade to help Yavin finish off trolls. The witch attempts to hold person, but it doesn’t work. The king casts quick change at Torr again, but the paladin's shield reflects it back.
One of the downed trolls gets up. The king casts Tenser’s Transformation on himself. The witch faerie fires Idky and Yavin. Torr kills the last hasted troll. Idky takes down the troll that just got up.
Lowdog charges the king and tears into him. The witch-troll decides to flee. Lowdog decapitates the king. Idky takes on one of the trolls that got up. Torr helps out with the downed (and getting back up) trolls and the rats that are left.
Idky tells Torr to go help Lowdog when they’re down to three downed trolls left. Lowdog takes off the king’s leg. The king reattaches his leg and head and pleads for his life. If they spare him, he offers to give them the secret to the crystal castle. Only Idky understands. Lowdog drops him. Torr helps finish off the rest with the flaming mace.
Lowdog tracks the witch. She fled out of the tunnels and to a cave up the hill.
Treasure:
Black ring of polished ivory *
Vial of faintly glowing pollen *
Elven family jewelry
The grab the king’s head for proof
They follow the witch’s trail. At the entrance of the cave are two black dragons and the witch-troll. She faerie fires Idky and Lowdog. The smaller dragon breathes acid while Lowdog charges the big one, which also breathes acid at the party.
Torr takes on the smaller one and stuns it. Idky charges the witch, and finds out she speaks elvish. Torr kills his dragon. Lowdog kills his dragon. Yavin tries to mind thrust the witch and fails.
She falls to her feet and claims to have been charmed. Idky clocks her and she attacks back. Torr finishes her off.
They head back to Esmeralda, tend their wounds, and spend the night.
