Just after the troglodyte releases its bite grip on Theron's arm, it takes a moment to appreciate its handiwork, before Theron's blade comes down on its neck, cleaving through its chest.
The troglodyte falls dead, and the other two look at each other in sober realization.
Bobbie finally catches "her" troglodyte off guard with her warhammer, and once she does it doesn't take much. She caves in its head, and it falls to the ground dead. The blood oozing out of its mashed face does not improve the stench.
The last, already injured troglodyte is stunned by the sudden loss of both its comrads. Theron finds it easy to take advantage of this distraction and cleave into it as well, nearly taking the head of its body.
The party is left with a sudden peace, but a horrible mixture of smells remain in the room.
Victory! Out of combat initiative
Ulis, yes, orisons (for divine casters) can be used infinite times once prepared.

Silas, Bobbie killed red, so if you'd like please keep that bolt and round of bardic performance.

Let,s get out of this room quickly....before I lose what is left of my lunch. Theron says between hacks. He scans the room one kast time before leaving the room.
Let me sit a bit before heading on...I think I might need some bad liquor to scare the aftertaste out of my mouth. Ulis, would you mind using my wand to heal my cut, please? Thanks.

"If you happen to have more than one charge on this thing, I wouldn't mind a healing spell either," Erica tells Ulis, feeling a bit weakened after the recent exertion.

Ulis claps the team on the back, grinning.
[b]"By Cayden's rose-scented musk, those creatures never stood a chance!"
He raises his mug again as it magically fills with Ale.
I have 2 CLW, 1 Protection from evil, 2 Channels left. If we rested I can prepare Enlarge Person instead of Protection... thoughts? Otherwise happy to push forward.

I'm going to need some strong whiskey to get rid of this aftertaste....let's go there when we're ready.. Theron points to the NE door. He moves over and readies to go through the door after Bobbie opens it.
Cracks in the walls and ceiling of this chamber have allowed rainwater to collect here, flooding the room and giving rise to a profusion of mold and fungus along the walls and ceiling.
In the center of the room sits a large, mottle-skinned blackish-green frog. It's about the size of a black bear. When the door opens, it turns and focuses on Theron and Bobbie, croaking loudly as it gives a hungry look.
Ulis rushes into the room and fires a bolt at the frog, though it seems to only take a chunk out of its shoulder coz, y'know, 1 dmg. Theron and Bobbie move in swiftly making short work of it, cleaving and then smashing. Theron is so excited he even confuses the amphibian for a reptile! It takes no offense as it dies.
Victory theme!I have no idea if you guys click on these, but this seemed appropriate to this whole sequence, from the PoV of the frog :P
The room falls silent nearly as quickly as you had opened the door. There are soft sounds of trickling water, and shimmery light dances across the stone walls and ceiling as reflected by the pools collected here.

Ulis shouts to Silas and Desynthia in the other room; "You can come in now, the used to be a frog in here"
Before moving on Ulis will search the two rooms for anything of interest. He takes a couple of long draughts before searching through the \sleeping mats- they must be pretty disgusting.
Perception:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Overturning the mats releases a solid wall of stink, the smell really gets to him and Ulis leaves pretty quickly.

Anybody want frog legs for lunch? Might fetch a shiny coin or three at a haughty resraurant....the burly warrior jests as he heads to the eastern door.
Opening the eastern door you find the familiar open air of the destroyed wing. There is nothing else here of note, and interestingly a portion of this wing seems to be closed off an inaccessible (from this side).
A brazier of glowing coals sits in the center of this room, its acrid smoke mixing with the ever-present troglodyte stench. A few knives, pokers, and other metal implements lie atop a rusty iron box nearby.
Standing next to the brazier is another troglodyte, seemingly older and stronger than the last three.
Silas darts into a room releasing a well-placed crossbow bolt. It hits the troglodyte head on, but seems to only stick in its thick hide. It smiles a toothy grin as it plucks the bolt, leaving a pit in its skin, and tosses it aside.
He and Theron both feel the familiar wave of nausea wash over them. At this point it's hard to tell if it's really still the smell or triggered by the sign of these tribal creatures now...
Ulis looses another bolt that again sticks in the troglodyte's hide like a pincushion, but it seems not to mind. It makes a confused expression at Theron's jeering, not understanding it's destiny to be a boot. It carefully eyes him and Bobbie as they cautiously approach.
It believes it has the situation still under control when a celestial eagle appears next to it, pecking and clawing. It swats at the summoned creature, and shields it's eyes....
The troglodyte watches as various members of the group perform interpretive dance, with their weapons and spells displays, near it but not directly hitting it.
Draconic:
Oooooh. You all must be charging up for a very powerful attack on me with this sophisticated, if silly, ritual!
