Ashok will sneak up and try to see what is coming.
Seeing them seeing her, seeing them, she drops greater Darkness in-front of her.
She points and the Small earth Elemental drops the meat and sings into the ground as she runs to the others.
"Two large blue Troll like things, all teeth and claws"
"Damn. It's cold here. We could just go the other way, but they're probably hunting. I'd rather ambush them then entertain them for dinner while we be sleepin."
"Or!! we could get them to fight each other, just lead the other group where, and let them meet. They my know each other but this place dose not seem to work like that"
She says with an evil grin.
Ashok, these are Ice Trolls. Not native to Golarion, but known to be scattered across the planes, living in cold places. They have trollish regeneration that fails in contact with fire or acid. The have horrible claws that can tear their foes to ribbons. They are as intelligent as humans. These seem particularly cautious, having not charged into battle.
As Ashok moves forward, he will say to the group in common: "They look like Ice Trolls. Acid and Fire are needed to permanently slay them. I am going to try talking to them, however, to see if we can pass by without a fight."
Turning back to the trolls, Ashok will say
"Hello, I mean you no harm. I assume that you were brought here against your will as well? Do you perhaps know anything about this place?"
Says
" Mitts go see who the horn blowers are I want to keep an eye on the trolls. See if they walk into our fire traps."
She says this so the troll could hear.
Sticky nods, Good thinking, Asy Elf. and he darts away toward the sound of the horns.
Sticky slinks in the direction of the horns. Not far away, he stops short at the sight of two nasty white hunting dogs on leashes and three more white minotaurs coming toward him. The dogs are snuffling at the ground smelling for a scent.
As he looks on in loathing, the dogs catch his scent and howwwwwwwwl...
Ear pick up at the sound of dogs.
Immediately starts retreating back toward the party
25 Sven
23 Stickymitts
20 Ice Troll
12 Ashok
11 Alyln
10 Goggh
8 Minotaur
Sticky moves back to rejoin the party. Sven casts divine favor on himself. You can't see the minotaurs from where you are around the corner.
The ice trolls move at half speed because they cannot see, but they manage to find the edge of the darkness and emerge from the darkness near Ashok.
Ashok, Alyln, Goggh get turns before the minotaurs.
Goggh double moves, flying towards Ashok.
"Were those hounds I heard back there?" asks the Half-Orcish scholar.
Yes! Sticky responds as he comes flying back into view.
Alyln moves back and the darkness winks out for being in a new place, hiding her from danger.
After all of that wait, all the minotaurs and wolves can do is double move. The dogs are given their leash and take off to catch up with Sticky. The minotaurs slide across the frozen floor, taking in the invaders as their gazes sweep the caverns. Each of them hold large crossbows.
Round 2
25 Sven
23 Stickymitts
20 Ice Troll
12 Ashok
11 Alyln
10 Goggh
8 Minotaur
Jumps and flips once more heading for the roof if the cave.
Sticky falls back a bit to prepare. He was going to need his spikes for this one and those crossbow bull men made him wary of engaging in the open. Hopefully they chased him and the trolls would provide a distraction.
Sven curses. With the wolves in the way, it would be hard to draw a good line of sight to the minotaur that he had studied as a target. He took careful aim at the first wolf...
...he then turned his attention to the minotaur behind the hound.
The ice trolls decide that maybe Ashok would be useful as a slave, or possibly lunch. The shuffle forward like intelligent apes, reaching for him, their claws clacking together on empty air.
"Okay, I tried."
Ashok will drop into a fighting style, step up, and attack the troll that tried to grapple him.
"Come into the darkness, they will have to fight each other then"
She calls to the others.
The Lashunta focus on fighting the enemies. He can't see in the dark, so he doesn't really likes the drow's strategy at all.
Goggh tumbles to the troll, trying to avoid being attacked, and lets out the strength of his weapon.
If he hits with his attack, he will try to intimidate the enemy.
If the enemy is intimidated, as a swift action Goggh attacks his again.
The ice troll slashes Goggh with a claw before the Lashunta cuts it nearly in half. The troll drops to the frozen floor, its icy blood barely seeping.
Ah, yes. Missed that. Sorry.
The two hounds attempt to take Sticky down as they would take down a deer, snapping at his legs. Both clamp down on empty air as the wiley goblin manages never to be where they anticipate he will be.
Two of the minotaurs close on Sticky, seeing that their hunting hounds aren't having much luck. With amazing speed, they fill the freezing air with crossbow bolts.
3 hp and 6 cold
6 hp and 1 cold
4 hp and 5 cold
2 hp and 4 cold
The third minotaur moves to observe the conflict between the trolls and the Lashunta.
65/96
Rage, now 77/108, AC now 16
[/ooc]
Sticky flies into a furious rage! Me hate Arrows! He screeches and he bounds through the dogs on the way to the nearest Minotar. He streaks acoss the battlefield in a blurr of greenish blue and buries one of his umbral spikes in the offending Minotar's shin!
Sven's first shot sinks into the hound's flank, leaving a strange blue-black blood running down it's leg. His second shot sinks into the flesh of the minotaur, but the creature's flesh seems to be frozen and the injury is not as intense as the Sven would expect from the shot. The third shot bounces harmlessly off the minotaur.
Four arrows left and they weren't doing the damage he expected. With a curse the dwarf cast 'greater invisibility' on himself. A second later he vanished. He thought to himself Lets see how the bastards like a few good sneak attacks.
Ashok stands his ground as the troll surges forward.
waits but the sounds of battle keep coming from some way away. She makes up her mind and moves over the roof to the battle.
