The heroes (Clod, Zylvanar, Shyana, Draegar, Gazer, and Baghsheer) arrive in Klarr where they find Mikhail and SwayingOak. The young druid puts them on a mission for a tyrant in Medegia who is having trouble with trolls. The group is to sneak into the trolls lair and slaughter the lot of the monsters. Mikhail transports the party over a thousand miles to the East and they search the woods for the caves, quickly finding them.
Draegar recons but finds nothing. The group then move through the 3D maze of passages, finding some discarded weapons in one tunnel and a secret passage that comes out near the settlement. They then find a series of sleeping caverns filled with trolls -- one has four and the other five. Zyl gives Clod half his potion of flying and the dwarf flies up with Gazer to establish a foothold and ferry the rest of the party up. Draegar just climbs. Unfortunately, one of the trolls turns out to be awake and the dwarf hesitates so long that the monster spies him. Luckily a silence 15'r keeps the troll from sounding the alarm, but thing look bleak as the blunder beastie wakes up a couple of sleepers...! Gazer nearly dies in the first series of hits.
Zyl drinks the other half potion and joins the melee to save Gazer while Clod engages another troll and Draegar starts unleashing arrows. Baghsheer climbs up and SwayingOak casts a prayer -- combined with the earlier hunting paint the heroes someone survive attacks by two trolls (Zyl drops his!) although Draegar is fountaining blood with his heart exposed to the air!
Baghsheer lets loose a burning hands that slays two trolls outright while Zyl uses a faerie fire. Clod had thrown the silence stone as the troll charged, so the heroes can hear and speak while the sleep trolls cannot, so only one wakens to the light. Clod remains in combat, nearly immune to the trolls attacks! SwayingOak begins climbing up although Baghsheer is seriously wounded.
A the shaman begins tending Draegar after Zylvanar unleashes a sundazzle that blinds all the wake trolls. Baghsheer gulps down berries and asks for healing and Clod continues to wade into the uglies. Shyana tosses up a grappling hook and begins a long climb to join the others.
One by one, the trolls begin to wake, but somehow the party manages to stay just enough ahead to actually handle them through a combination of prayer, sundazzle, and hunting paint. In the end, working together the healers save Draegar (nice scar!) and Zyl saves Gazer. The group then retreats out through the secret tunnel, having slain over half of the trolls in the whole lair!
Nice work, guys! Eeps were 1800xps exactly per PC
