Karla moves forward and unleashes a spray of clashing colors over Sia and the two nearest troglodytes. The wolf is stunned by the spell, but both troglodytes fall to the ground, unconscious.
Nik'o charges right up to the troglodyte acolyte and leaps upon it. Her teeth find the creature's throat, and she tears it out as she bowls the trog to the ground. It falls and lies still. Rogar and Wulfram are able to easily finish off the pair of stunned troglodytes.
When you get a chance to look around this room, you see stone shelves have been cut into the walls, and each shelf is heaped with dried mushrooms, baskets of herbs, root vegetables, and other fragrant foodstuffs. Empty baskets and cloth sacks lie in a pile in one corner.
Rogar walks over and, after ensuring that his companions have no objections, causes a pair of stalactites to fall from the ceiling and impale the unconscious troglodytes.
Wulfram moved over to Sia and attended to her wounds.
He paused and listened for sounds of more troglodytes in nearby caverns.
Wulfram can hear the faint sounds of croaking frogs coming from the southeast. A glowing light can be seen around the bend in the passage in that direction. He doesn't hear any other sounds coming from the other passages.
Assuming Wulfram mentions what he hears, Rogar creeps up to the southeast passage, peering inside.
The air is damp and moist here, but it's a fresh, cool mist. A rough crystal globe hangs from the ceiling, candles burning within it. The light from the globe refracts off the mist in the room and the crystal growths on the walls, filling the room with rainbows. A bubbling fountain in the center creates a jet of clear water that continually drains back into the ground.
A pair of frogs the size of cats are here, hopping around the room. A single troglodyte watches over them. They don't seem to notice Rogar yet.
Another passage continues south at the far end of the room.
Eustoma follows Wulfram to peer inside the room. I wonder if we'll be taking the frogs with us too? Battle frogs?
Eustoma fires an arrow at the trog. Wonder if the frogs are going to attack us.
Rogar grabs a fistful of stone from the cavern wall and sends a sizeable chunk of rock hurtling towards the troglodyte's head.
And instead it turns out to be nothing more than a clump of dust, which disintegrates right after being thrown.
The troglodyte cries out in pain as Eustoma's arrow finds its target. Rogar's earth blast evaporates before striking the troglodyte, though.
As Rogar misses again, the trog moves up and attacks the dwarf. Its club bashes Rogar, but it doesn't get through his stony skin!
Rogar attempts to slide past the troglodyte to get a bit of room, coming to a stop by one of the frogs.
He sends a blast of elemental mass at his foe,
but his shot manages to go wide.
Seeing that he wasn't going to have room to use his spear, Wulfram dropped it and drew his heavy mace as he moved to engage the nearest troglodyte. "Say hello to my mace, stinky one!". he cried, swinging his weapon down.
Wulfram moves in and brings his heavy mace down on the troglodyte's skull. The metal proves stronger than bone--there's a resounding CRACK, and the trog falls limply to the ground.
Karla steps over the troglodyte and blasts a frog with a magic missile, dropping the tiny amphibian. Nik'o launches at the other frog, grabbing it in her mouth and thrashing it back and forth. Her teeth pierce its soft skin, and it slumps, blood oozing from the dying animal.
Wulfram examined the frogs to see if he recognized them.
He also listened for sounds of more troglodytes.
The overgrown frogs are members of a poisonous species. If they had bit you, it would not have been a pleasant experience.
Wulfram can hear faint movement from the cave beyond the southern exit--the crunch of feet on gravel, a soft hissing breath.
Rogar corrals the frogs into a corner, trapping them behind a wall of stone. Next, he quickly and quietly makes his way to the next cavern, scouting ahead.
Countless bones jut from the clay walls of this chamber. Grinning skulls peer down over the ends of femurs and ulnas sticking out at odd angles. Most of the bones are from animals—some as large as stags and bears—but some are undeniably human.
Three troglodytes stand guard in this room. Two seem like typical specimens, but the third is a hulking warrior in spiked armor. She holds a massive hammer in one hand while she hefts a javelin in the other, eyes fixed on the entrance to the cave.
She spies Rogar trying to hide and roars a challenge!
Rogar steps in range, and the big trog's scent assaults his nose
However, he barely notices it and draws pebbles from all over the cave to himself, unleashing a massive torrent at the beast.
And threatens to knock it backwards.
Rogar steps up and blasts the big troglodyte. She cries out in pain as she's blasted back a few feet by the force of the attack.
Karla conjures a wall in front of Rogar, giving the dwarf cover, as she send Nik'o in to guard him.
The big trog growls and stomps, working herself into a rage! She hurls her javelin at Rogar, but it clatters harmlessly against the wall. Then she hefts her warhammer in both hands as she moves in. She hangs back a bit and lets the other trogs rush forward, trying to hit Rogar over the wall. The cover keeps the kineticist safe from their blows.
Dropping his spear again, Wulfram moved up to the wall and bashed at the troglodyte in from of him.
Rogar grins as the wall surges up, and he uses it to his advantage, continuing the wave and sending the ripple of earth into the troglodyte closest to him even as he steps back.
Eustoma moves up and begins to cast a spell. "Sia stay."
Wulfram moves up to the wall next to Rogar. He bashes the troglodyte on the other side with his mace, leaving it dazed and bleeding.
Eustoma begins casting a lengthy incantation.
Rogar tries to hurl a blast of earth over the wall at the other troglodyte, but the same cover that protected him now keeps the trog from getting hit.
Karla launches a magic missile at the wounded trog, bringing it down.
The big troglodyte rushes in to take its place. Stepping on her fallen comrade, she swings her hammer at Wulfram. It smashes into the earthen wall, spraying a shower of dirt over the shaman but leaving him otherwise unharmed! The other trog tries to hit him as well, but fails miserably.
"Ah, a worthy opponent!," Wulfram exclaimed. He attacked the big troglodyte, swinging his mace with both hands. He too, hit the wall instead of the enemy.
Roga focuses fire on the smaller troglodyte that's still standing, sending mass of earth into his opponent and knocking it backwards.
Eustoma finishes her spell, and a Giant Centipede appears right behind the war hammer wielding trog. "Let's see how you like dealing with a creature that makes you sick."

Wulfram swings on the big trog, but she ducks back behind the wall and he hits only dirt.
Eustoma finishes her spell and a centipede appears, flanking the troglodyte with Wulfram. It lands a good bite, and the hulking reptile hisses in irritation. The poison doesn't seem to affect her.
The halfling then peppers the troglodyte with arrows, landing two good hits.
Rogar gathers power again and blasts the smaller trog. It flies away from the wall and hits the ground at an awkward angle, lying stil.
Karla blasts the big trog with a magic missile, further wounding the tough warrior.
Roaring with rage, the trog swings at Wulfram again with her hammer. This time she hits, a resounding blow that cracks a few ribs and knocks the wind out of the big smith! Then she whirls to try to bite the centipede in half, but the insect wriggles away from her snapping teeth!
Wulfram grunted in pain before retaliating with a strike of his own. "Ugh, good hit. Now here's one back!"
Rogar steps over the barrier Karla created, moving around the last troglodyte to flank with Wulfram, and launching another boulder at point-blank range directly at the Trog's head, and it connects with a thunk
EDIT:
Wulfram retaliates, delivering a powerful blow to the side of the trog's head. She snarls as blood drips from the wound.
As Rogar clambers onto the wall of earth, the trog takes the opportunity to drive her hammer into his side!
Taking the hit stoically, the dwarf gets behind her and flings a huge boulder directly into her face! There is a sickening crunch as her skull implodes, bits of brain and bone splattering onto Rogar. The dwarf hops back as her body falls to the ground!
"Rogar, you're a glutton for punishment!", Wulfram said with a grin. He healed the Drarf's wounds, and his own.
Detecting a magic aura, he examined the enemy's weapon in an attempt to determine it's properties.
Wulfram is unable to identify the warhammer immediately. While detecting magic, though, he locates a few more auras among several trophies lining the walls. He is able to point them out, and you gather them along with other valuable looking objects.
Wulfram examined the magic pearl as well.
"I wonder whose hair this is? he said, looking inside the silver locket.
Wulfram is unable to identify the pearl at this time.
Rogar nods his thanks as Wulfram's magic knits his stony flesh back together, the wound nearly closing, "Thank ye, lad. Tha' hurt a bit. Now, where ta next?" he listens for the next set of trogs.
Rogar moves to the mouth of the next tunnel. The corridor here slopes down at irregular angles and reeks of dampness. The walls are jagged and covered with sharp stone barbs. Mossy growths spread across the floor and walls, old bones lying pale against the dark moss.
Rogar doesn't hear any noises, but he does spy something near the ceiling. Two of the "stalactites" shift slightly, and he can see several tiny, red eyes studding them.
Rogar tries to figure out what these things are, and if they are likely k be hostile.
Wulfram looked around the room at the extensive collection of bones. "They're mostly from animals, but I see some human bones too," he said grimly.
Looking at the descending passageway. "We should check that there are no more Trogs behind us, before we explore down there," he suggested. "We bypassed a few areas back the way we came."
Rogar doesn't know what the strange-looking creatures are.
Rogar retreats back to the other room, "Okay, so there's some strange stalactite creatures in tha next room. Ah don' know wha' they are, or if they're hostile ta us. Wha' do ye all think?"
"I think we should go back and check the areas we bypassed for more troglodytes," Wulfram said. "Stalactite creatures don't sound very mobile, so my suggestion would be to leave them for now until we've cleared the other areas."
That sounds like a good plan Wulfram. I don't want any trogs coming up behind us while we go lower into their caves."
"I saw another passageway near the entrance to the frog cave," Wulfram said. "That's closest to us — let's look there next. After that we can look at the areas near the first cave. I heard the sound of dripping water."
