GM_Foxy's 2nd Carrion Crown

Game Master Foxy Quickpaw

It's not hard to hit the squeezed in trolls. But you also get a good idea what will happen if you fail to get away safely from that edge.

Are you going to take off you shirt for that oil wrestling match?

Manly grappling!

Fire away! Spugnoir rolls in his alchemist fire
Alchemist fire,PBS,PS,Touch: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 161d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Darius grabs another oil from Grergof and tosses it in the hole at the trolls.

Oil+attack from above-Improvised weapon: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 11

Spugnoir lights the troll barbecue. The trolls scream in pain as they start burning.

As much as I like your creative ideas - the rules are not in favour of them. The trolls would burn for 1d6 damage each round. DC 15 Reflex to put out. Increases by +2 for each bottle of oil for two rounds. That won't do anything to kill them. If you don't mind I'd reward the creativity by burning them to charcoal until the pit comes back up.

Sounds good

Darius holds his crossbow ready while the trolls burn.

Stam reloads his cross bow, letting it hang at his side while they roast the trolls.

"Think these are a new addition? We weren't told about Trolls being here."

Stam will move a head 5 feet staying away form the edge.

After a little more time the pit closes again bringing the burnt to death trolls up. Giving free the way into the gatehouse.

Grergof puts away how bow and quickly searches the burnt trolls.
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Then he pulls out his flail and says:

Lets go

Where to?

The gates open on a broad chamber with a vaulted roof. Two large fires burn in the room, and spiral stairways climb up in each corner toward the ceiling. The gate on the far side of the room is barricaded with timber and furniture.

G2 is barricaded?

"I think we go up, there was some other troll here and I don't want him behind me trying to eat me."

No. The door between F2 and F3 is barricaded. I guess you're only suggesting to go up and not to lead the way?

Assuming I didn't find anything.

Grergof starts his Ioun Torch spinning around his head and then moves to lead the others up the southwest stairs.

Grergof's glance over things reveals hunks of dubious meat that hang from meat hooks attached to an old staff among piles of timber. There are several sacks of plunder, including a pair of bellows, a shovel, a sledge, a battered tankard, several pretty (but valueless) stones, 208 gp, and 345 sp.

But that won't run away so you decide to go after the last troll who awaits you on top of the tower. He throws a rock down the stairs as he sees you coming.
Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 161d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Grergof ignores the rock and keeps right on climbing up.

How many rounds to get to the top?

You can charge him immediately

For the light!

Heavy Flail - Power Attack + Furious Focus + Charge: 1d20 + 12 - 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 12 - 2 + 2 + 2 = 30
Damage + Power Attack: 1d10 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 6 = 17

Darius can't risk taking a shot with his crossbow so he puts it away and draws his sword instead.

Spugnoir gets a bomb ready and climbs up after them.

Stam pulls out a scroll, activating the magic inside and touching Darius on the shoulder.

"Now you have a bull in your, let that troll feel your might."

Bulls Strength +4

Will it make him fly?

depends on the color of the bull.

Grergof hits the troll. But of course he is not standing there waiting to be clubbed to death.
Claw AoO: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Claw: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Claw: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 181d8 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

They all miss thanks to the barkslin Infusion! With an AC of 21 even with the minus 2 from charging the 18 still misses!

Grergof Replies in kind with his flail.

Heavy Flail - Power Attack + Furious Focus: 1d20 + 12 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 12 - 2 + 2 = 15
Damage + Power Attack: 1d10 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 6 = 19
Heavy Flail - Power Attack: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 7 - 2 = 18
Damage + Power Attack: 1d10 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 6 = 14

One swing with the flail misses and one hits. But you see how you work against the regeneration as the wounds keep closing at an alarming speed.

is the troll wearing anything metal?"

"This is going to be fun." Darius says under his breath as suddenly his sword bursts into flams and he moves to help Grergof.

Casts Sun Metal, lasts for 6 rounds. Since it's a standard action I'll only be able to attack next round. But if possinle I'd like to gibe Grergof a flanking bonus but if it'll give the troll an AoO on me then I'll just move beside Grergof and we can wail on him together.

Spugnoir throws a bomb at the troll, adjusting so it doesn't hit his allies
Bob,Fire,Touch,PBS,PS: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 123d6 + 5 ⇒ (5, 2, 6) + 5 = 18

The troll tries to defend himself with claws and teeth.
Claw: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Claw: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

With both hands, Darius does an overhanded chop at the troll with his flaming sword.

Attack Sun Metal Round 1/6: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Fire damage: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Stam will pull out his black wand, launching a bought of grease behind the Troll so if it turns to run it won't get to far.

The troll starts looking beaten up.

We just wanted to talk, but you chose to attack! Now reap what you sow!

Heavy Flail - Power Attack + Furious Focus: 1d20 + 12 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 12 - 2 + 2 = 22
Damage + Power Attack: 1d10 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 6 = 17
Heavy Flail - Power Attack: 1d20 + 7 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 7 - 2 = 14
Damage + Power Attack: 1d10 + 6 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 6 = 20

Spugnoir throws his last vial of alchemist's fire
Fire,touch,pbs,ps: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 131d6 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Grergof hits the troll a last time before he falls over and then one more to make it last. Spugnoir sets it on fire to burn to ashes.

Now that the fight is over you can enjoy the view over the way you came here. But as you're on one of the the front towers you don't get a good view on the bridge behind the gate house and the waterfalls.

"Trolls. Nasty things." Darius says as the fire on his sword slowly begins to fade.

Anyone hurt in particular? I wonder why these trolls are here, they might be in service to an evil lord.

Grergof checks all four towers to ensure there are no more trolls.
Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Assuming he does not find anything that requires immediate attention: coming down he says:
I don't know, the door deeper in is baracaded. I wonder if they were I depends t of the rest of the group and just squating here...

As Grergof moves from tower to tower he also gains a view over the rest of the Schloss. A broad stone terrace - that has no rails at its edge - is on the other side of the barricaded door. To the north, a stone bridge arches above a waterfall that drops into the river two hundred feet below. It ends at a small cobbled terrace with a curious looking iron door depicting a scowling sun being devoured by ravenous clouds.

On the terrace on the side of the gate house sits a nervously looking troll with a troll hound. On the bridge stands a golem hound keeping watch.

On the last tower you find three goblins who obviously tried to hide here. They stare at you with wide eyes like in shock.

Very loudly Grergof says in common so the others can hear:
Hello there! You know what we just did to the trolls little goblins.
The same thing does not have to happen to you.
Tell us what we want to know and I think I can convince my companions blocking the stairs downstairs and behind me to go easy on you.

He says all this with his flail clearly ready to strike if they try to run past him but not taking any further aggressive actions.

ready action attack (no power attack) if one tries to run past him.

Stam will inspect the trolls then move after Grergof so that he is not alone.

"I have taken no wounds yet, Spugnoir but I can imagine in time if there are more and more trolls we will all be bleeding."

When with Brother Grergof.

"Interesting that these goblins are here, must be being used as a labour force? Do any of you speak common? I guess I should learn goblin just in case."

"No fighting. What do you want. We tell everything." One of the goblins tells.

Grergof starts with a few questions waiting for the answers befor going on to the next:
Why are you and the Trolls here?
What do you know about the rest of this complex?
Tell me about that gagged skull you wear.

"Trolls take house as new home. Trolls take goblins as slaves. Found in the garbage. In house here." the goblin replies holding his amulet.

Because I forgot to roll

perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

"What is the amulet you have there?"

Spugs uses a tap of the healing wand on Varsk
clw: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Have the old owners of the house been trying to take this back?

Do you know anything about who the trolls took the house from?

"No. No. Owner of house sits there." the goblin tells pointing to the house over the bridge. "Trolls not going there. Trolls afraid of nasty dog."

"Cool skull amulet!" he replies to Stam obviously proud of it.

Detect Magic on the Amulet

"Grergof or Darius do you recognize that as a holy symbol?"

Religion: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

Have you ever seen anyone besides the dog come from or go into the house?

So the house should be the next place I reckon

Know Religion: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18
