As the troll hounds charge, Ezekial ambushes the leader and gouges the beast deeply with his kukri.
The creature whelps with pain and then counterattacks, sinking its jaws into Ezekial's sword arm (10 hp damage, make a DC 14 Fort save or be infected with bloodfire fever.)
The second troll hound races to Connor but the beast rider easily dodges the snapping jaws.
At the end of the southern hall you see trolls emerging from the shadows.
Ezekial may take his second round action. Everyone else may take their first round action.

The rogue yelps when the hound's filthy maw closes on his arm.
Fort Save:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
He tries a risky move, and tumbles through the dog's square to attack it from behind he can flank with Connor. If Connor does not currently threaten, he readies his attack.
Since her hands are full, Veronica hustles across the room, stows her bow, and shouts for Moondancer to attack one of the trollhounds from behind.
Standard to stow bow (still holding torch), move, free to handle animal companion.
No token for Moondancer, but she should come in just north of me, so flanking with Zeke against the leftmost trollhound. This way even if Connor doesn't/can't move, Zeke has a flanking buddy for one target.
Bane 4/5 Rounds
Larisa reloads her weapon, imbuing it with baneful energy as she does before firing on the troll in the lead.
Attack:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 Damage:1d10 + 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + (4, 2) + 6 = 18

Ezekial Calls to Connor to flank with him, tumbles to the wall and readies to attack the troll from a flanking position.
Bottled up tight in the room, Connor looks to the north for a charging lane then decides against it and moves in to support Zeke.
Here's an interesting scenario as I read the Outflank feat that Cinder and Connor share, since they're both flanking the same creature, and even though its because of Zeke, the horse and cavalier gain the benefits of the feat. Pray for crits

Gonna wait until other attacks before I post since its likely troll one will be down and then zeke will ready to attack a troll that steps out.

Connor grunts from the blow and continues the onslaught, fighting defensively behind his shield, moving attacks to the southern troll if the northern one falls. (Recognizing no flank on the southern troll + cover changes the to hit roll/AC by 8)

Ezekail springs as the new enemy shows itself and cuts the creature deeply.
Ezekial slays the second troll with a vicious cut from his kukri.
Both dead trolls begin to shake and twist on the ground.
The giant two-headed troll steps forward and lunges around the corner at Ezekial with a terrible ferocity. One of the troll's claws shreds through the rogue's armor (19 hp damage) and both sets of jaws sink their teeth into Ezekial's flesh (29 hp damage).

Did the two headed troll not have to move? If it moved I was hoping it only got a single attack...And if its around the corner should it be taking -4 to hit? I seem to recall that from somewhere. If the attacks stand Zeke is at 3 HP.

"Burn those trolls, quick!" Seres calls out. He focuses on the two-headed monstrosity, casting an enchantment. "Let's see if these two have a sense of humor..."
Hideous laughter: DC 17 Will save, he gets a +4 bonus due to type difference.
Cover gives you a +4 to your AC and vice versa, he gets it from us if we attack from around the corner. Gonna either lure him out or charge him if the laughter sticks
Connor withdraws to the north turning Cinder around to face the troll and stomp at the ground, "Veronica, get Moondancer out of the way."
Larisa dismisses the bane from her weapon as she sees the trolls begin to shake, with a scowl she withdraws one of the flaming bolts from her belt and loads it into her weapon. "I'll take one Veronica can't reach."
With a wince she fires, shooting the expensive ammunition at one of the downed monsters.
Attack:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24 Damage:1d10 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 Fire damage:1d6 ⇒ 1

He only had to 5' step. Yes, I applied the negatives - look at the rolls.

I believe that Ezekial can coup de grâce one of the down trolls without proving from the two headed troll due to cover of the corner. If he can he does so.
Nodding his thanks to Veronica Ezekial tries to kill the down troll b before stepping back 5'.
Veronica calls back Moondancer and then calls forth Erastil's grace to heal Ezekial.
Larisa fires a flaming bolt at the southern down troll and ignites its twitching form.
Seres casts an enchantment on the raging two-headed brute, but the troll appears unfazed by the spell.
Connor withdraws and wheels around on Cinder with his lance tilted.
Round 5
Ezekial darts in and plunges his kukri into the northern downed troll - greatly slowing its twitching. He then steps back out of the path of the coming juggernaut.
The giant two-headed troll steps forward towards Veronica and roars as one claw and both sets of jaws tear apart her flesh and send her spinning to the ground (44 hp damage).
"Veronica!" Lairsa yells, reloading a flaming bolt into her weapon as she re-imbues it with baneful energy before firing at the troll abomination.
attack:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23 Damage:1d10 + 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (8) + (3, 2) + 7 = 20 Fire damage:1d6 ⇒ 6
Moon dancer stands over her mistress and gently nudges the fallen priestess whiles whining. Zeke suddenly realizes that her blood is dripping down the back of his neck.
Connor charges hard to the west and then turns Cinder abruptly south, her hooves digging hard into the stone floor. With an expert burst of speed, she aids Connor in driving his lance plunging forward as the cavalier bellows out a challenge to the troll monstrosity. Cinder follows with a strong bite.

Something snaps in Ezekial as he watches Veronica fall. He knew she was only where she was at to save him. It was his fault she was laying there bleeding on the ground. This creature had to fall. In near desperation he tries to tumble through the creature's squares to flank from behind with Connor.
Moondancer guards her mistress as Veronica stabilizes on the blood stone floor.
Larisa fires a flaming bolt and lands it squarely on the troll's chest.
Seres fires an arrow through one of the troll's necks and sends a geyser of blood spraying over the battlefield.
Dodging a swing from the troll, Connor charges, but his lance is deflected by the troll's heavy hide. Cinder is likewise unable to find purchase.
Round 5
Ezekial tumbles behind the troll and slashes its hamstring.
The two-headed troll shrieks with pain as it turns and ravages Ezekial with a combination of claws and fangs - dropping the rogue to the ground. (41 hp damage).

Bane 1 round left
Larisa dismisses the bane from her weapon as Ezekial drops. "Erastil preserve us." She whispers as the lumbering beast unleashes it's fury. Taking Connors advice she darts down the stairs, studying the monster as she goes.
Ah, one of the weakness of crossbows, the need to reload as an action.

And I may eventually remember how to play my character. IF that last hit on the troll by Ezekial was a sneak attack then he gained the Debilitating Injury condition Disoriented and took -4 attack penalty against Ezekial (-2 against any other target) for 1 rd. If this leaves him up but badly wounded I realizes it may be worse for him in the long run. I have not looked to see if that -4 made any difference or not.
Zeke, glad you remembered the sneak attack for this turn. I was logging on to prompt that as I've been thinking about how we're going to get out of this fight. Debilitating injury will help us regardless, but it looks like two of those attack rolls may have missed (AC 19 and 22, respectively prior to a -4). If that's the case. Recommend you withdraw as well and try and spread him out. If he doesn't come after you, throw knives at him.
