Logan takes aim at one of the trolls and lets fly, "It's not quite fire and acid but we'll see."
"Let us see if cold will curb your enthusiasm! Greetings fellow adventurers!"
Elmo darts into the fray and triumphantly jabs his longsword into T2.
"You sir, are mine for the slaughter!"
Milo gets away from the trolls quickly before spinning on his heel and unleashing an attack from his orb which moves from one creature to the next.

"What have you got a phobia about fire?" Keir asks as he desperately tries to keep out of the trolls' grasp.
"Welcome to the party, don't be shy!" Keir greets the newcomers.
Logan's arrows fail to find their mark, but Elmo's blade is dead on as usual. If Milo's spell had any affect on the trolls, it does not show.
"What have you got a phobia about fire?" Keir asks as he desperately tries to keep out of the trolls' grasp."Welcome to the party, don't be shy!" Keir greets the newcomers.
"I am a kobold," explains Elmo unnecessarily. "We don't have phobias, although we do have startling and interesting personalities."

"So I see now perhaps you'll discuss this further once we see off these trolls," Keir laughs.
The hound near the troll shudders and steps backwards as it turns back into a man. "Yeah, how about we all shut up long enough to kill these bastards?" He picks up his staff from the ground and points it at the trolls, and a chill wind quickly slams into it, blowing it back.

"Hey I thought you said fire or acid?" Keir quips back ducking as the frigid air flashes past at the troll.

"Oh excuse me for only learning how to summon the fury of the storms themselves. You want flames, get a *EXPLETIVE* wizard."
"Flame is in my armory. However, you will all need to stand back. The storm is most impressive. So is the dog."

"Nice, shame it doesn't work on them though!" Keir chuckles.
"Flame is in my armory. However, you will all need to stand back. The storm is most impressive. So is the dog."
"How far back exactly?" Keir asks wondering where the dog the kobold is talking about is.
"Oh - just a step back," calls Elmo cheerfully, nose to nose with a troll.
Jack hits the first troll, but the wound quickly closes. However, green blood pours out of the other troll as Keir jabs his spear deep into it's chest. Meanwhile, Jake uses Healing Word on Keir.
Troll 1 swings at Jack and seriously impacts him. The other troll swings at Elmo, but misses.
"Flame is in my armory. However, you will all need to stand back. The storm is most impressive. So is the dog."
"Hey! I'm not a fu-" This would of been censored, if it wasn't for the timely intervention of a troll's fist to the side of his head.
Logan lets two arrows fly and slings his bow. Drawing his sword he glares at the trolls, "Why won't you die!"
DM Dave
Bouncing energetically, Elmo calls on his proud draconic heritage and flame spills from the tip of his sword, lighting the trolls up prettily.
Logan's arrows strike true and embed themselves into T2's sholder. Meanwhile Elmo is able to pick a good spot and the flaming gale spins and sears both troll's flesh. when the fiery cyclone dies down a few trees in the area continue to smolder.
Milo taps on his orb and tries once more to use his Illusion abilities on the trolls. Focusing in on the second troll he unleashes his psychic abilities.
"Hey, kid! What part of use fire do you not understand?". says Jack as he backs away. "Now, why don't you just stay there!", he yells as he raises his staff at the troll, but the winds do little.
Using Frost Flash, but it missed. (Damage should never be higher than the attack roll!)
Keir tries to employ another wolf pack tactics but misses and is only able to shift back a square himself.
Jake utters an unearthly note and seems to glow with divine light. His friends (old and new) feel their spirits kindled and renewed vigour in their limbs.
"Jake is a mighty healer and an excellent maker of sandwiches."
The trolls stiffen and pause, as if listening to a voice only they can hear. Then, suddenly, they turn and rush for the safety of the trees.
Jack readies himself for another evocation, but looks on in shock as the trolls simply run away. He looks dumbfounded for a few seconds, then exclaims loudly "So what the *CENSORED* was that all about then?"
OA on Troll 2 (1d20 7=8, 1d8 5=6)
Elmo misses in great style.
"Personally I'd just say Phew! and call it a night... well far enough away that they can't come back for a return visit!" Keir gasps.

"Yeah, you better run! Corellon's power too much for you?! You bet your warty hide!"
"Yeah, you better run! Corellon's power too much for you?! You bet your warty hide!"
Keir looks over his shoulder.
"Did it ever occur to you that someone out there just blew their dog whistle and found out they can summon and control trolls?" he asks curiously.
"This makes no sense. The little *CENSORED* usually run away from fire, but not so abruptly. Probably some sort of magic. Anyway, trolls usually travel in packs, so lets get going before we find out if they're any more running around."
"What have dogs got to do with this?" Jake replies, clearly only half listening. "Another victory! Haha!" he adds, clapping Elmo on the back.

"Dogs? Where?" Keir asks looking around before heading after Jack.
"Yes indeed! Another victory and another chapter in my book. We are both awesome and attractive."
Elmo bows flamboyantly to the newcomers. "Greetings dog-pirate, halfling and human being. Jake is also a halfling and Logan is another human," he adds informatively if unnecessarily.

"Hello," Keir waves back.
"So what were you out here looking for? Other than adventure of course," Keir asks politely still wondering where all those dogs they were talking about disappeared to.
"Aha! We are travelling to ..."
Elmo taps Jake on the arm and hisses "Where are we going again?"
"... travelling to quell the cult of Orcus! Will you join us?"
"Yes indeed! Another victory and another chapter in my book. We are both awesome and attractive."
Elmo bows flamboyantly to the newcomers. "Greetings dog-pirate, halfling and human being. Jake is also a halfling and Logan is another human," he adds informatively if unnecessarily.
"Listen, Emlo or whatever your name is, we need to clear a few things up. First off, I'm not a dog. I turn into a dog, which happens to be the expression of the Primal Beast I feel most connected to. If I wanted to, I could turn into a rat or a bird or a cat or anything else if I really tried to. Second, I. Am. Not. A. *Censored*. Pirate. I'm a sailor. Got it?"
Jake says sotto voce to Elmo "Touchy, isn't he?"
Aloud he replies, "We are indeed on our way to investigate Orcus cult goings-on. If you're involved, you better watch it! If not, then you can join us in smashing their deluded heads."
