Unrak growls in frustration that he can't get into the fray--and with fear for Toth, facing three trolls. TAR!! Get Toth out of there, I WANT IN!!!
Unrak gets ready to rumble and talks to the cat.

3. Zed, Marc, Augrym (30/60 hp), Taranis
Zed takes out a wand and a pair of missiles fly forth at the troll blocking the door. He adds a command in Ignan, "Go in as soon as you can!"
Swift action Bane. 5ft step and attack.
Zed slings some missiles; Augrym's sword clangs painfully against the stone.
"MY TURN!"
"NUH-UH!"
"YEAH-HUH!"
"NO!"
"GIDDOUT TH'WAY!!!"
There is some pushing and shoving by the door, as one troll gets pushed back and another steps in.
A maelstrom of teeth and claws come for the tiger, like a pudgy dwarf trying to fish a tasty snail out of a thimble.

Taranis quickly retrieves a wand and taps it to Toth. After the tiger does his job he orders the cat back:

- Round the Fourth
- Current HPs:Max I think
Unrak, his rage seething to the boiling point, sees Toth get struck and his vision goes red. The instant the cat backs off, the warrior rushes forward into battle. He finally allows his primal fury to wash over him.
Target green. If green drops on the first hit...
1) go after Blue
2) use Destined Strike ability for +3 to hit, for a net -1 due to cover
If green does NOT drop on first hit, continue on green w/out Destined Strike.
CURRENT AC: 23
Toth and Unrak keep up the forward fighting, with the cat striking twice and the big man once, while Taranis gets in some quick healing.

3. Zed, Marc, Augrym (30/60 hp), Taranis (Toth @ 27/42 hp)
Augrym struggles with the awkward angle to get his blade past Unrak and through the door, but there is a loud thump of something hitting the floor inside.

Marc scores a fine hit, and a burning one at that. The trolls muscle each other to get at Unrak. The big man finds himself torn apart by wickedly sharp claws and pointy teeth.

Taranis quickly taps his brother with the wand. He then shouts and points to open spaces in the scrum.
"Toth! Get in there and attack!"
point of order: my HP total is higher while raging. I fekkin' hate the "con boost" rather than "temp HP" mechanic, but my current total should be 41, plus the 9 heal for 50
Unrak takes a big swing at Blue (since green is around a hard corner now), then steps back, and draws out a potion.
<--THREAT mofo!!!

Zed jumps in, having Sparky take the brunt of what comes next:

Zed levels the missiles against the two worst off!
SUCCESS
Following his baron's orders, Marc tries for a more difficult strike and jams his weapon against the stone. Unrak has better luck and scores a heavy hit before retreating. The fire elemental is ordered to attack and does so to minimal effect. A loud thump echoes from inside as one troll falls.

"Augrym, bring that troll down! Get us in there!"
”As you wish, great leader brother friend Taranis.”
Augrym's blade cuts deep and the troll slumps over the blade... but does not yet expire.
The other troll reaches over his fallen comrade to savage the elemental, while the last troll in the back gets up off the floor and clambers back into position.

”We will need some fire damage to keep these foes down. Do any of the Huntsmen have such ability currently?”
Taranis taps his brother with the wand again "Toth, heel! Marc, Unrak finish it!"
Toth moves to heel.
"Toth and MArc alike can do such a thing!"
Augrym strikes again, adding another body to the stone floor!
Taranis tends to his brother.

Unrak drinks his potion of Cure Serious Wounds...
...then rushes back into the fight!
Zed sees Unrak preparing for a suicide charge, and tells the big man to "Wait a second!" He then levels one more charge of his wand at the troll.

Marc is first. May render both our actions moot.
Unrak holds his dash until Zed's missiles hit home.
Zed's missiles put down the last troll, allowing Unrak to rush over the rapidly healing bodies to the interior.
One troll heals enough to regain consciousness and lumbers to his feet. The troll snaps its jaws at the big man.

Unrak cuts down the troll before it can get on its feet. Within a minute or so, Toth's acidic bite puts all three trolls down for good.
"Beware friends. That was just the welcoming party. I suspect more are waiting."
Taranis uses his wand a few more times on Toth:
He then looks around the room and on the bodies.
Arrow slits face north and east to overlook the approach and outside ledge. Daylight shining through the arrow slits and broken stone doorway light the room with a dim illumination. To the south and west, darkened, wide stone staircases lead up and out of the room.
The trolls wear nothing but fouled loincloths.
"Left as always."

The Baron leads the Huntsmen to the southern stairs. This wide flight of stone stairs leads up to a circular chamber with a high ceiling. A foul stench fills the air, emanating from the layers of filth caked on the floor. Only a dim light filters down into the muck.
Another set of stairs winds around the room, up towards the light.
"Let's finish off this tower. I hate to say it but...." apparently he hates it so much that he doesn't actually say it. Taranis searches the room.
Taranis spends several agonizing minutes wading through troll sh*t. He finds naught but ripe turds.
Up.
The stairs climb 100 feet, ending in a small room with narrow open-air windows a little over four feet off the floor. These slits offer a commanding view of the surrounding lands. This watchtower is cleverly disguised as a rocky crag crowning the hill into which these halls are built.
There is a small trapdoor in the ceiling of this room.
Assuming there's nothing of note in the room, Taranis listens at the trap door before stepping back for Marc to open it.
All is quiet at the trap door, and Marc opens it. It leads out to the roof of the "tower," providing a 360-degree view for miles around.
There is nothing else here.
"The fresh air is good, but we need to go back."
The stairs leading west grow darker and darker. Augrym has no trouble seeing the pitch-black way ahead, but the others...
Taranis will light a torch if no one else speaks up.
