Let it so known that the bearers of this charter, having delivered the northern reaches of the Greenbelt from the scourge of banditry, having provided detailed maps of the lay of the land, and having done no small amount of work in the exploration of said land and the culling of hostile monsters and indigenous hazards, are hereby granted the right to rule.
The nature and laws of rule are theirs to define, and the wellbeing of this new nation is theirs to protect.
In accordance for providing a stable nation to the south of central
Rostland, let there be a generous stipend of funds, support, and advice provided to this fledgling nation as a token of Restov and Brevoy’s goodwill, such that future relations between kingdoms might be mutually beneficial.
So witnessed under the watchful eye of the Lordship of Restov and by the authority granted by Lord Noleski Surtova, current Regent of the Dragonscale Throne.
The party does their best to take to cover or hiding places and lay in wait for the oncoming trolls. The delay seems interminable as you swat away stinging and bloodsucking insects when the wait finally ends. You see a quartet of trolls slogging their way through the swamp toward you. Just as the first of the trolls enters the range of your longbows, the creature stops and holds up a clawed hand and sniffs the air.
What would you like to do? The trolls are 120 ft away at the moment.
Unfortunately, she misjudges the distance, and although the aim was true as far as direction, the arrow falls short, thudding into the ground about two feet short of the troll.
She is very embarrassed, and hopes that Celebeth wasn't watching it happen, but she refuses to look down to check, and insteads starts to draw another arrow. Miss or not, they were in for it now.

As Tove blesses them for the battle, Rhianon takes aim, her first shot directly on-target, sinking in deep, while the adjustment to her balance while shooting frm the tree sends her second shot both short and wide.

Rhiannon fires again at the approaching trolls, but her shots fail to score on any of her targets.
Celebeth's arrow streaks through the air and lands solidly in the lead troll's forehead. The beastial creature slumps to the ground and sinks into the muck of the swamp, although it will almost assuredly get back up soon without fire or acid to stop its regeneration.
The remaining trolls push on through the muck, reaching the area of the party.
I'll get a map up this evening unless we just want to go theater of the mind for this. There are 3 trolls, none of which are currently base to base with any of you, but all are within 30 feet.

With a nod over her shoulder at Tove, Rhiannon steps off of the branch, letting herself drop to the ground to land in a ready combat stance. Waiting for just a moment as the trolls advance, she makes brief eye contact with each before beginning an intricate, beautifully deadly sword form, the flames dancing along her blade, a deadly promise of what lay in store for each of her enemies.
5ft step (to drop; boots of the cat take 1 pt damage from voluntarily dropping 20ft. Dazzling Display demoralize all foes within 30 feet (wait until enemies move within range)
Unfortunately, things don’t go her way, and she falls unceremoniously from the tree.

Trying to make the best of Azen's fire, Garethane dances around to the rear of the troll before switching his feral focus to that of the bull and plunging his sword deeply into the troll.

Rhiannon charges into battle, plunging her blade's point into the advancing troll.
The burned troll steps out from in between Azen and Garethane, turing his attention to the hunter with claws and teeth. Garethane avoids the bite and one of the claws, but is unable to avoid the seceond.
Garethane takes 11 damage.
Kalaman fares similar to the hunter, feeling the pain of only one of the troll's claws.
Rhiannon swats away each of the claws of her opponent, but in the process leaves herself open to the razor sharp teeth that sink into her shoulder.

Staggering to her feet as fast as she can, Tove steps toward the others and lets out a burst of positive energy.
Standing from prone and taking a 5-foot step, unfortunately that means this won’t reach Garethane, but she’ll use selective channel and ignore the trolls to fix up Kalaman and Rhiannon’s wounds (plus any fall damage she took).

Garethane shifts to set the flank back up for Azen and lashes out with his longsword once she is in place and distracting the monster. (5-Foot Step, Ready)

Grunting at the pain of the bite, Rhiannon breathes a sigh of relief at the familiar sensation of Tove's healing, almost grinning as she feels the mystical power of Azen's singing empowering her. She strikes, lashing out twice at the troll in front of her with a combination of grace and power.
Garethane, you are not able to pick up the flank with a 5 ft step. If you would like to take advantage of that, that will provoke an AoO. Let me know what you would like to do.
Troll dealing with Azen and Garethane continues to focus on the hunter, likewise Kalman's target maintains its focus, and the duel between Rhiannon and her target continues.
Garethane and Kalaman each suffer a claw strike, but avoid the worst of it, dodging the second claw and bite. Rhinannon manages to avoid the claws, but the troll's razor-sharp teeth bite down on her arm.

Her expression a stony glare with only a momentary grimace as she tears herself free of the troll's vicious teeth, Rhiannon continues her unrelenting assault, plunging her blade into the troll's thigh before shifting her weight and twisting to strike again, this time solidly into the monster's gut.

Tove moves to Kalaman’s back and lets forth another wave of healing energy, this time able to reach all of her companions in the burst.

The elf receives his hit before circling behind the troll and darting in with his attack, not wanting to let the troll get away. Actually remembered to add prayer to the damage calc this time.
Rhiannon stabs twice into her opponent, the second strike dropping the burning husk of the troll to the ground.
Azen and Garethane both land blows on the troll they fight, but yet the creature stands
Celebeth runs up, driving her blade deep into the troll's waist, leaving an opening for Kalaman to slash across the beast's chest with an electrified blade, dropping the creature to the ground.
The remaining troll still standing turns on the hunter, slashing with claws and biting at the elf with razor sharp teeth, both claws tearing Garethane's flesh. Fortunately, the elf is narrowly able to avoid the bite.
Garethane takes 25 damage from 2 claws and a rend.
