If boss troll is in melee range, Dru-head gets a'maulin'.
"More Power!", Morheds shouts at his eidolon.
The three heads renew their efforts to pick away at the troll.
And the hydra's tail, which also seems longer than what the heads are used to whips around.
After ramming his head into the trolls gut, and the troll not going very far away (but his neck hurts instead), he decides to go for a good ol headbut.
With that, Blockhead's head comes straight down onto the Troll chiefs head with a sickening crunch strong enough to make the Blockhead recoil
Wheeeeyyaa.... as he staggers off to the side.
The boss-troll yowls in pain and surprise as Hungry's ray scorches it, which seems to stop its healing. One of Dru-Head's claws scratches ineffectually at the thing's tough hide, but the other claw, as well as his teeth, tear into it, leaving it barely standing.
The other two trolls growl in anger and redouble their assault. The first flails ineffectually at Ziphora , but the other manages to catch Blockhead in the chin with one claw.
Ziphora's lightning again painfully burns the troll's hide. Blockhead then bashes the boss troll's head in, felling the giant.
With no other orders than Blockhead's, your body keeps lumbering forward, forcing some of the heads to lift up high over the trolls to avoid being smashed into them. This does get Tomorbataar and the Eidolon in range of the other two trolls, but while Tomorbataar does get a good hit on it, his head bounces off its tough hide. One of the Eidolon's three heads manages to bite the troll while he's dodging the other two (and the tail).
Hey! Look, I'm biting you! Morheds shouts at the troll on the right as his head dashes forward and snaps its jaws, trying to distract the giant from his eidolon's teeth.
Tomorbataar pushes his head straight at the troll on the right, staying extremely close to it, attempting to make its attacks hard.
Tomorbataar pulls his head back with wicked speed immediately after the troll's attacks are finished, and before it has a chance to recover from the effort of attacking, Tomorbataar's head is racing towards it headlong.
As the body lumbers forwards Hungry try's to stay back and shouts as it re-dawns on him, "KILL IT WITH FIRE!"
Hungry begins another incantation as a small bead of red streaks through the air. When it hits the ground behind the trolls it explodes into a fireball.
Dru-head fires a flaming Sphere this round at the troll in front of him, troll needs to make DC 17 reflex save for half or takes
"Thanks, awfully Hungry," Ziphora snips sarcastically. "I believe that's what people mean by the medicine being worse then the cure."
Tomorbataar just notices the fireball at the last second, and doesn't have time to pull backwards before he's hit full in the face by searing hot flames. He coughs hard and glares at Hungry Good one, he barks, breathing hard. It is hard to tell if he is being sarcastic or not, but he looks hurt.
Morheds's attempt at feinting goes largely ignored, though it's hard to tell whether it's because the troll can't speak Common or because it suddenly has to worry about the fireball that just exploded all over it. Neither troll seems to have been particularly good at dodging the flames, nor does the troll in front of Dru-Head notice the flaming sphere in time to get out of the way before being burned again.
Badly burned but mostly angry, the two trolls redouble their attacks upon their foes... and fail miserably. One troll focuses on Dru-Head, but his claws just scrape off the barky fur of the tiger-hydra-thing, while the second ducks in under the other heads to get at Hungry, wanting to make the fire stop, only to find him much tougher to hurt than he had anticipated, claws and fangs both just ineffectually glancing off his magically reinforced scales.
Tomorbataar's counterattack, on the other hand, is obviously effective, and he thinks he feels his target's ribs break as he bashes into his chest.
Blockhead is so completely focused on his target that he is completely oblivious to the wall of fire coming at him. But just because he doesn't know it, doesn't mean it can't hurt him...
Blockhead staggers for a moment as he is blindsided by the pain, before coming back with a fury.
Half blinded and generally pissed off, Blockhead isn't going to stop over something petty like the hunk of meat in front of him laying down...
RRRAAAAARRRGG!!
With a cry Blockhead's head plummets into the fallen trolls chest like a meteor, cratering it...
...as warm bits and rocky bits go flying.
Blockhead is starting to look less and less like the head you know and more and more like a stump of meat...
To his siblings, "You can't make an omelette without scorching a few chickens in the process."
Hungry votes "STOP!"
As the troll attacks Hungry he turns back to the troll, "Rossz lépés, hús."
With a series of incantations Hungry's head lunges forward towards the troll, wreathed in dark energy.
EDIT:Added the spell. I thought I included it but I didn't, thanks for letting me know Blockheadd.
Ziphora's horns lose their cackle and become lances of wind, as the winds sweep around her. She jabs her horns into the chest of the troll closest to Blockhead.
Ziphora votes for body to stop
The eidolon heads chuckle at the fire burning the other heads, before continuing to dig into the freshly roasted troll meat.
Ziphora finds the troll's hide much more difficult to penetrate with wind than it was to burn with lightning, her wind horn doing no appreciable damage to the creature. Again the Eidolon only manages to get one good bite in, its other attacks failing to get through the troll's thick hide. Said troll staggers, but does not quite fall.
Blockhead makes quite a crater, but the troll next to him manages to keep his feet.
Hungry just barely manages to graze the troll's arm as he lunges forward with his spell, but that's all it takes. As he drains its tasty life force, it totters and falls to the ground, dead.
Morheds turns his attention toward the remaining troll. After a moments consideration he regurgitates some green fluid, splashing it over the giant.
As the liquid covers the troll and begins eating away at t!&& hair, he nods to himself with satisfaction.
Dru-head leaves the sphere on the troll, who takes another fire damage. Gets another reflex save.
Thus begins the full attack.
Morheds's splash of acid sizzles on the troll's flesh, mingling a new scent into the stench of burning troll. For some reason it doesn't even bother moving away from the flaming sphere, which continues to burn it.
Dru-Head's first claw cuts deep into the creature's side, and he manages to get a grip on it. His other claw and his teeth, however, have less luck penetrating thick troll-hide.
The desperate troll, tenaciously clinging to consciousness, has somewhat better luck with its frantic attacks against the tiger-hydra-head-thing. Its teeth sink deep into Dru-Head's shoulder, and one of its claws leaves a bleeding cut on his chin.
Through the tangle of heads the hungry eidolon heads emerge to bite down onto the remaining troll, while from the flank the tail whips around.
All but one of the Eidolon's bites pierce the creature's hide, and it slumps forward onto the mass of necks in front of it (though mostly on Dru-Head's face), quite dead.
Tomorbataar relaxes, his head drooping down slightly, before straightening back up. Anyone know a spell that will help clean away the scent of these trolls? He eyes the corpses hungrily as he speaks, then glances down at himself. He is spotless. And me?
"This is all so stupid. Why didn't they stop attacking us and flee when they were over their heads? I would've let them!" She says, indignantly. She looks at their corpses and heaves a sigh of regret.
"Sorry, Tomorboataar. I don't have anything to clean you up," she continues regretfully.
"And you,"she snaps at Hungry, angrily. "Your big ball of fire did more to us then all the trolls combined. Watch where you're throwing your magic, dumbhead!
Dru-head starts cleaning Tomor off. By licking him.
*pur*
"Oh you're so adorable,"she gushes as she nuzzles the soft fur of the tiger-hydra.
"Oh you're so adorable,"she gushes as she nuzzles the soft fur of the tiger-hydra.
Ghaa! Tomorbataar's shout is incredibly shrill, in contrast to his normally deep voice. He jerks his head up and out of the reach of the tiger's breath, exhaling sharply as he does. Keep your tongue away from me, the last thing I need is another person to lick me. He glares hard at Dru-head, wondering what he could possibly have been thinking.
After a moment spent collecting himself, Tomorbataar glances over at Ziphora That's okay I suppose, one of the other magical people can probably do something, right? He looks at Morheads and Hungry each in turn, as though he's conducting an interrogation. And not you. Tomorbataar glares once again at Dru-head.
Hungry sniffs the troll that he downed with vampiric touch and begins tearing huge chunks of flesh off the corpse in a feeding frenzy.
Turning his blood-splattered face to Zip, "So I miss judged the distance one time! *exasperated eye roll* It's not like you all won't grow back in a few minutes anyway. *earnestly* I'll be more careful next time. *light-bulb moment picking playfully* OO! Maybe we can wait a hot second or two before charging in to close combat so I can loosen up our foes first."
Hungry casts prestidigitation to clean the troll smell from everyone else before he dives back into his meal.
"Urgh...that's disgusting..." She twitches uneasily as she watches Hungry feed. "You ravening beast, you."
"I guess they're dead, and won't feel a thing..." she murmurs to herself. She ponders for a moment over the other troll corpses, wondering if she should take a bite. They had it coming afterall, and meat was meat. No sense in letting things go to waste. In the end she can't decide and hangs in the air.
"And Hungry, you really shouldn't misjudge your aim. Sure, we grow back, but there are growing pains and all that and it still hurts! Waiting a moment is fine by me, but you'd want to run the idea by the rest."
Thanks Hungry, that's a good spell, like, if I had to compare it to a fireball, I'd say it...doesn't blow up your siblings. Tomorbataar is smiling and grateful looking until he says blow up your friends. After a moments he adds though I suppose we could wait before charging into battle, although they did most of the moving.
Tomorbataar then reaches into the corpse ever so daintily and pulls out a troll heart, careful to keep the blood from staining his face.
Responding with his mouth half-full, blood and viscera flying, "Yeah, fireball was not the best choice but we needed lots of fire and fast. I didn't wanna burn through all my spells!" He snickers at his pun and resumes eating.
Eventually he finishes and picks up his bone wand. "I think it is time to head back to the small squishy morsels, I mean the humans." He casts prestidigitation one more time to clean off anyone other than himself who got dirty with their snack.
At that point he votes to head back to the humans.
"I'm hungry, guys. Could we find some Veggies? Or at least something that isn't sentient?" Ziphora gives a piteous whine.
Ziphora votes to search the place for edible plants so she can be a vegetarian hydra.
"Thap'f our pftomac ptoo. Moo're mot gomma fir it wib icky pooey veggies!" Morheds scolds Zip with his mouth full.
Dru-head, still being transformed hasn't got much to say. He does carry some troll with him in his newfound forelimbs.
Dru-head votes to search for vegetables too.
"Didn't we tell you not to speak with your mouth full, Morheads? I don't understand what you're saying. And Veggies are not Pooey!" Ziphora protests.
Morheds votes to get back to the humans and not stop for veggies.
Also he ignores Zip's protests.
Veggies are more like...optional. Tomorbataar adds, then but we should hurry back to the humans before Dru-head eats the proof we have of killing the trolls.
Tomorbataar votes to go back to the humans.
"Humans it is then. Maybe they've got something cooking." Ziphora grumbles. "Oh and keep holding the troll in your forepaws, Dru. Maybe the humans might want to cook it on a campfire."
Cook it...Ziphora, you're brilliant! Tomorbataar laughs in ecstasy Cook it, of course we can cook it, why would we ever not cook anything?
"Its a custom. Humans make offerings to fire. After humans offer things to a campfire then they start sharing stories."
As you start heading back towards the humans, you notice the sun is getting low. It will probably be dark before you get there.
Yes yes, of course, and the food is...is...cooked. All nice and cleanly cooked, not so much sticky blood, and not so chewy and scary...cooked. Why don't we cook ourselves? ...Hungry, this is not an invitation to burn us again.
Dru-head votes to go to the humans.
As it starts getting dark, "Maybe we should rest before we re-meet with the humans. I don't trust them and I'd like to have all my spells back, just in case."
Hungry votes to rest the night and then go to the humans in the morning.
