Laralute (played by AgentMilkshake) Topic Starter

After checking the webs thoroughly, she doesn't find anything. "Nothing," she announces after coming back into the room with the others. "Let's continue on." She keeps her sword out and moves back over to the goblin.
Drusilla (played by AgentMilkshake) Topic Starter

The cleric falls into line in the back as the group goes into the corridor single file with Olaf leading the way. The goblin is behind the halfling and in front of Laralute. Dru glances behind them again as the group continues the search.

Olaf the Ogre (played by AgentMilkshake) Topic Starter

"Devil dogs," Olaf exclaims stopping dead in his tracks in the doorway of the next room. A pulsating sphere of energy dominates the center of the chamber. "What is this witchcraft? Don't look at it, Teddy!"

The ogre shields his teddy bear's eyes.
Slappy the halfling (played by AgentMilkshake) Topic Starter

The halfling peers under the ogre's arm and pans the light around. When he sees the sphere, he averts his eyes, fearful that he might become possessed or that some other ill effect may be fall him if he stares into it. He turns and lets those behind him know what they have found.
Laralute (played by AgentMilkshake) Topic Starter

The elf became curious when she heard Olaf's reaction. She pushed past the halfling and entered the room. Laralute approached the pulsing sphere of light for a closer look at it. After studying it for a few minutes, she shook her head. "I'm afraid my arcane knowledge isn't enough to discern anything about this object," She finally said. "Let's move on."

OOC: The book states that only a wizard has a chance to make a roll to learn anything about the orb. Since the party doesn't have one, there is nothing further that can be done here.
Drusilla (played by AgentMilkshake) Topic Starter

Dru waited in the other chamber. Upon hearing about the orb, she decided to stay with the goblin in case anyone suffered ill effects from gazing at it. Fortunately, that did not seem to be the case. Once the party regrouped and took its normal order, the cleric prepared to take her spot in the rear beside Laralute with the goblin in front of them.

Note: A roll of 6 generates a random encounter when the party enters the hall on Olaf's turn.
rolled 1d6 and got a natural 2.

Note: Random encounter

Olaf the Ogre (played by AgentMilkshake) Topic Starter

After getting back to the main chamber, the group gets back in formation double file with Olaf and Slapping in front. The ogre stands ready to step out to protect the halfling should they encounter anything. There are no monsters lurking in the corridors. A little further down, the group encounters another hallway off the main corridor to the right heading east.

Olaf kicks in the door. Behind it is a large troll with a sword in its hand. It jumps to its feet ready to defend its lair.
rolled 1d6 and got a natural 4.

Note: Reaction

Olaf the Ogre (played by AgentMilkshake) Topic Starter

"If you give me all of your weapons, I'll let you live," it says.

"I'm sorry we cannot do that," Olaf replies.

"Then it looks like I will kill you," The troll responds.

"Close your eyes, Teddy," Olaf instructs his bear. "I do not want you to have to witness this."

Olaf rushes forward with his two-handed ax to attack the troll.
rolled 1d6 and got a natural 4. After the modifier of +1, got 5

Olaf the Ogre (played by AgentMilkshake) Topic Starter

Troll loses 1 life.

Life points: 3/4

Note: Should have been +3 for a 2 handed weapon and barbarians add level which is +2 for a total of 7.
Slappy the halfling (played by AgentMilkshake) Topic Starter

Intimidated by the troll and thinking his sling and dagger probably would not be effective, the cowardly halfling hangs back and continues to hold the lamp so the others can see. He steps aside so that the elf and cleric can advance and make attacks.
Laralute (played by AgentMilkshake) Topic Starter

The elf bravely charges forward with her sword drawn. She runs between Slappy and Olaf and strikes the troll. "Taste my blade," She hisses in Elven.

Note: Should have added +1 for her level, but still not high enough to hit.
rolled 1d6 and got a natural 2.

Note: Attack

Laralute (played by AgentMilkshake) Topic Starter

Unfortunately, Laralute misses.
Drusilla (played by AgentMilkshake) Topic Starter

Dru momentarily forgets the goblin and charges forward with her mace. Because trolls are resistant to crushing weapons, she is at a -1 on her attack. She swings her mace.
Drusilla (played by AgentMilkshake) Topic Starter

She not only misses but trips and makes a critical fumble!

2. Slappy
3. LL
