Round 1:
Looking up at the biggun, Dibbs girds his form with air.
Dibbets wraps himself in a cloak of spinning air. Kaul barely has time to look up from the screaming man at his feet before a great claw pulls him from the boat. The man in the bottom of the boat screams, Island troll!
Round 1
Wriggling like a maggot in a wound Kaul attempts to slip free of the brute's embrace;
:
"Get out of there Bigguns".
Dingus casts Grease on Kaul to help him wriggle free, and retreats as far away about 20'.
Jim moves to engage the island troll, dodging on his way in and trying to set up a flank with Kaul when the half-orc gets free. He lands a shallow thrust.
After clothing himself in wind, Dibbets' next reaches between the air and draws the trident of electric force that Gozreh's indifference gifts him. A glance down to the cowering thug is matched with a cavalier "Won't be a minute... dinnae go anywheres."
Kaul struggles mightily in the creature's steely grasp as it starts to gnaw on him. With a sudden coating of grease, Kaul nearly shoots out like squeezed kipper, but the claws hold him tight.
Jim dances around the distracted giant and laws in gash which quickly covers back over in slimy hide nearly healing the wound. Dibbets grabs a thunderbolt to join the fray while the conscious thug looks crazed with fear.
"Aw, feck me. That's hardly fair!" Jim tries to maneuver so that Kaul can get a flank if he frees himself, then stabs the troll again. Maybe I can wear it down?
Round 2
Roaring in pain Kaul bellows in defiance at the troll's raking attack;
"Feckin trog basterd! When I get free yer feckin chum!"
:
Stepping inside the big bugger's reach, Dibbets thrusts his electric prod forth...

Squinting and trying to find room to fin in his fan of flaming snakes spell, Wu Fang...Who is this Dingus?... Decides instead to send a super duper Vapor Viper through his new ring.
Tiamet Style VV
Oiled up by Wu Fang, Biggets slips lose. The rubbery flesh of the troll continues to bind, but cannot keep up with the electrical and arcane bolts that rip into it. Jim pokes at the giant again as it roars more in annoyance yet rather than pain. Leaving behind its unruly victim, the troll suddenly rushes forward jumping onto the small boat capsizing it!
AoO (Touch): for
Reflex:
Free from the brute's clutches Kaul rounds on it with a vicious hack from Lopper;

Kaul snags the oaf with his hook as it pushes past into a snoutfull of Dibbets discharge. This time it sounds angry, but the roar is cut short as the boat rolls under the massive weight of the landing giant. In the resulting chaos, All aboard are pulled beneath the blood-colored waters of the Vanji: troll, halfling, sorcerer, and the bound thugs.
Jim rummages in a belt pouch and pulls out a ring, which he puts on.

Dibbets is cast down into the waters, but rockets back up to float on the top bouyed by his magical kilt. He coughs and splutters, but retains enough of his senses to keep stabbing the rubbery bastard...
Reflex Save
Wu Fang in a silky move that sends his robe flying above his head, and Richard swinging freely in the clammy atmosphere, deftly flips and lands on his feet beside the rocking boat.
He then hocks up and spits a ball of acid the way of the beast.
Ranged Touch
Acid Damage
Unfortunately he forgot that his fangs were still distended, and only succeeded in spraying his robes, and the ground in front of him with the caustic spray.
Round 3
Kaul shifts toward the soggy-jotunn with murder on his mind;
"Hur... Now I chop-chop!"
:
:
The young Tian shows ninja-like skills as he leaps from the floundering boat to the. marshy shore. Beside him Kaul draws Lopper as he scowls into the rippling river. Dibbets bobs nearby and the conscious thug rises to the surface screaming once as he is tugged under again toward the swifter flowing waters.
There is nothing more that the gurgle of the river for a long moment. Any blood in the water would be obscured by the rusty silt of the flow.
"Out of there, Smollet! Let the thing have its meal--I think we've learned all we could from those two."
Grumbling "Bah... bloody trollop" Dibbs begins to swim towards dry land - but keeps his lightning rod out of the water.
Dibbets dog paddles back to shore resembling something like a pile of pondweed as he emerges dripping. The overturned boat drifts a little ways farther through the vegetation toward the main channel.
The boat drifts another ten feet away gathering speed as it clears the vegetated shoreline. The crew continues to focus on their troll watch.

Just as Jim determines that he needs to go after their transportation, the water in front of him explodes in a spray of red water and scraps of flying green vegetation. Then the troll towers over him with a shredded and very deceased thug in its mouth.
It slashes at the swordsman tearing him with a claw. Dingus' mouth has gone dry during the interim and only a sputter of venom falls from his fangs to burn his robes. Kaul however is ready and stepping into the shallow water, chops into the beast with Lopper!
Stepping back to iffin he can find a means, Dibbs jabs while he jibbers "C'mon mateys, less fry tha bastard"...
Trident (Touch attack): for
Taken aback, Jim tries to maneuver so that the troll is between him and Kaul before taking a tentative stab at it.
Jim skips into the water opposite his mate and stabs his blade deep into the slimy humanoid. Which along with a crackling jab from Dibbets' electric fork elicits a howl from the injured troll. The wounds remain jagged as its swiftly mending flesh can't keep up with the hurt it's receiving.
Dingus tries to line up a shot for his flaming serpent fan, but realizes that he'd once again fry up a couple of his mates and instead attempts to hock more acid on the creature, taking care to distend his fangs first.
Acid Splash, Ranged Touch
Acid Damage
Round 7
As the troll resurfaces with its supper on display Kaul grins and nods;
"Look Lop! He came back to play! Hur-hur-hur!"
The thug roars a laugh and lunges toward the troll and brings his ax to bear in a hacking arc:
:
:
Dingus manages to muster a bit more caustic venom this time. At least enough to splash the monster though it has no visible effect. Lopper however, has a very visible effect as the axe opens the giant's belly sending entrails floating into the red water of the Vanji. The intestines twitch some as they are tugged back into the belly by the overtaxed regenerative system.
The troll turns its full fury on the Orc axe-wielder biting and slashing!

Seeing Kaul get torn to shreds, Dibbets repositions and tries to patch him up "Stay innit lad, I'll patch ye up"
CMW:
Round 8
Kaul reels from the troll's onslaught, then rallies as his own wounds knit and heal courtesy of Gozreh's indifference.
"Hur. Healin' and hurt dealin'. That's what we do trolly!"
The thug presses home his buzzsaw attack, chopping at the watery brute in a frenzied assault:

:
:
Dibbets attempts to aid his Biggie Buddy, but his prayer is thrown off as he dodges a terrible claw. Kaul is ready though and Lopper lives up to its name as it removes the offending appendage at the shoulder. The troll bellows in pain as it falls back into the muddy red water.
If it wasn't moving as it fell, Jim tries to snag it and pull it out of the water. "Let's get him to shore, mates! He can't hide there! "

Jim grabs a troll toe as the beast's body sinks in the swirling flow. He manages to not let it go, but the enormous bulk is more that he can haul in by himself.
