To clarify for everyone:
Buchart hits number 2 for 23, but it still stands.
Sekkimm moves next to Rolande and asks to try a gun (they are attached to a weapon cord and a move action to remove that).
Rolande moves up 5' and fires and kills #3 and regains a grit point 1/4

Everyone piles on the lone injured Ogre trapped in the black tentacles and kills the last Ogre.
Out of Combat ahead lies the only structure on the Dam and probably the entrance. You can tell the water on the Storval Deep side is indeed very high and the dam probably can't maintain the stress (especially with more rain) for long.
Move ahead to the structure on the center of the Dam?
WOOT!
The two northern sets of double doors that lead into this structure have been repeatedly smashed by the ogres. They seem to have been hastily repaired from the inside. The doors will no longer open and must be pushed down (Strength check) to access.
The two sets of southern doors are intact and barred from the inside-they may be able to be forced open with a Strength check.
The "windows" into the structure are in fact the eye sockets of the skull-shaped facade; they're 5 feet in diameter and 10 feet off the ground. It's a DC 10 Climb check to scramble up to one of them.
Fernleaf uses 3/10 daily charges from the gloves
Piles of rubble dominate this large room, along with bits of flesh, broken weapons, splashes of blood, and a few dead ogres that have been torn limb from limb. Wind and rain howl through circular openings to the north that look out over the Storval Deep, and puddles of water have collected on the floor. Thick sheets of ropy green fungus grow along the walls here, winding in through the windows and through numerous cracks in the domed ceiling thirty feet above; behind the fungal vines, the walls are decorated with hundreds of
skull-shaped carvings.
Fernleaf
He spots four Trolls inside trying to hide in the ropy fungus.
Yes - you can! I moved you out over the dam can see in and fire easily!
surprise round they are not looking out the window at you.
Fire - No longer hasted 3 shots, but you add 1d6 fire to each.
Sekkimm the door is still blocked. Does anyone want to try pushing open the door while Rolande fires?
Rolande hits one close to his window for 21 points!

Hits for 28!
Troll by door -49
Buchart is up, but there is little room to get in past Anaba (delay until room, cast a spell, fire bow or try to open other door)
the ceiling in the room is 30' high so 35' up and over the skull.
The Southern doors are barred from the inside, so the DC to open them will be more difficult than the ones Anaba just opened.
Yes you can, but any ranged attacks will be at -4 because he is engaged in close combat with anaba.

Rolande shoots #2 with a crit on the 1st shot for 52 (74 damage) which drops him (1 grit back 2/4).
He hots #4 for 25
Troll #3 -11

Looking like you have this under control and not wanting to use all his bombs Fernleaf delays
Sekkimm and Lumpy are up! Yes the Western Southern doors are accessible.
|
Lumpy will wait for the top of the round then charge the rear troll, moving close to both in an effort to eat both's attacks of opportunity for the round and make room for other friendlies.
I will wait until after Lumpy and pounce charge attack the most damaged one I can pounce charge - if I can't pounce charge one, a normal move/attack will do.
Lumpy takes the two AOOs

Lumpy -22/24

Anaba is up!
Anaba confirms her crit (single attack because moving more than 10').
She easily chops down the Troll.
The remaining Troll attacks

Anaba gets bit for 10

Buchart is up (no room to get in with your sword)!
Way to go Anaba!
Anyone feel free to go and end the combat

Anaba
Sekkimm tastes delicious Troll flesh and kills the last Troll. As warned, you see them begin to regenerate, but are able to keep them down. How do you want to destroy the bodies?
I have some Alchemist's Fire (12 flasks)! Fernleaf use your gloves and scope those other doors whilst we char-broil some Troll flesh.
4 large trolls and 1 vial of acid wont do it.
Let's drag the bodies outside!
Yes! lets say takes eight (although that's 400gp)
Done!
You search the upper rooms
C8 - C9 The walls of this room are thick with green ropy fungus that hangs down over several windows,
almost like curtains. Several large nests made of the stuff cover the floor. Searching you find several items:
A cracked emerald worth 400 gp, a bent gold comb that looks like a behir (with its legs comprising the comb's teeth) with tiny pearls for eyes worth 850 gp, and a pair of lacy pink gloves of swimming and climbing (Added to Treasure Sheet)
C10 OBSERVATION DECK
Three round windows in this room look out over the southern view from Skull's Crossing. Additional skull carvings decorate the walls, ceiling, and even the floor. In the middle of the north wall stand massive stone double doors, their smooth surfaces smeared with graffiti written in dried blood.
C11 STOREROOM
This room is nearly clogged with thick coils of the strange, vinelike fungal growths, transforming the chamber into a miniature jungle that reeks of damp mold and rot. Nothing of value and Cela determines the plats are harmless.
C11 COLLAPSED ROOM
The southeastern section of this ancient room has collapsed away, leaving a treacherous-looking gap
in the wall overlooking the lake far below.
Stairs lead down. It's dark no light there.
I'll take the cracked emerald and buy more flasks.
Lumpy starts down the stairs.
The stairs go down in switchbacks almost 200 feet and end in a double door.
Any buffs/spells cast with a duration less than 30 minutes is worn off.
Air Walk and Mage Armor are still up - not sure if anything else.
