Nope, he's just staying out of reach of the Troll, since Meri said, it's hers...so he's waiting...
Stepping up beside Saamasal, Yhum Yhum swings his mace which hits the Troll hard, making him cry out angrily. With a roar, the savage beast retaliates. Ducking under one of the Troll's claws, Yhum Yhum successfully fends off the creature's bite, however is caught by a powerful backhand blow from his other claw.
1d20+9=11, 1d6+6=8, 1d20+9=18, 1d6+6=11, 1d20+4=17, 1d6+3=8
"Nyah nyah ! .... *OOOF*"
"Why won't you just stay still?", exclaims Saamasal as he swings his sword up, tearing into the troll's body.
Milaniel's smile doesn't falter as the troll attacks. Instead, she steps into it, her form disappearing into the troll's body.

The slow-witted creature shudders slightly, it's eyes rolling back into it's head before refocussing on the rest of you, it's lips curling into a familiar smile.
Milaniel now occupies the troll's square. Saamasal and Yhum Yhum are in the entry well. Grakl and Cenciach are hovering in the passageway, backing away from the cube as it advances. You can still hear the people on the platform high ahead - no doubt making plans on how best to proceed, although it is too far to hear through the floor of the platform. One or two of them are always peering down over the edge, watching your battle with the troll unfold.
"Mehehehe, I see you in there...want to pull down that platform? or shall we destroy the cube then flee?" "What do? What do?" as Grakl tasks his flask of Alchemist's Fire and launches it at the corner of the platform, just around the chain. 1d20+11=28.

only 46 feet away ;) I'm 4 ft tall, and there are no rules for vertical that I know of...although there should be. There's a reason archers on 30ft walls had an advantage more than cover.

Milaniel has just merged with the troll which is now flexing its talons and turning its head from side to side as its new occupant develops a feel for her new host. The cube is inching its way along the corridor, sweeping up everything in its path as it draws inexorably closer to the chamber you are standing in.
Up above, the platform sways slightly, a few faces peering down at you as the group above continue with their preparations.
"Mili, how long you be troll?"
"Long time? Short time? Long time? Short time?"
"What what what?"
Grakl will grab the cleric's backpack too if he can without being in range of the goo...
"destroy goo? get book?
You wait in the entry chamber beneath the platform, watching as the gelatinous cube continues its approach. As the mindless ooze begins to emerge from the passageway, the platform suddenly begins its descent once more, the chain rattling from far above as voices from out of sight shout out commands to one another.
As your unseen hunters resume their descent, a bright point of light shoots down the shaft, centred on Milaniel who currently occupies the Troll's body. When it hits her, it explodes into a ball of fire, filling most of the entranceway. As the light from the fireball dims, the area you are standing in suddenly fills with thick, sticky strands of rope - like a spider's web, stretched across the room and making it extremely difficult to move through.
"EEEEK!!!"
1d20+6=24 vs. Fireball, 22 vs. Web.
Cenciach shouts in anger. "Ow! That's it!"
He breathes a cone of force at the platform.
Damage 2d6=11, Reflex 13 for half.
Grakl sees the point of light, and reacts immediately
Fireball:1d20+11=29, Web:1d20+11=25
"Methinks it time go..."
With that he begins to head for the secret door. Then he'll look to see if he can figure out the closing mechanism for the secret door.
"C'mon Cenciach...too many, too many"
Milaniel and Saamasal both throw themselves to the floor, avoiding the worst of the effect from the fireball, however they are not so lucky in avoiding the web, finding themselves held fast by the thick, sticky strands. Yhum Yhum, Grakl and Cenciach manage to avoid the worst effects of both magical attacks.
Cenciach flies a short distance towards the platform which is once more moving down towards you and blasts it with his breath weapon. The sturdy wood protects those above from direct damage, however the whole platform shakes alarmingly from the blast and the occupants stagger under the attack. Most of them are able to retain their balance, however one unfortunate, a spellcaster of some sorts by the look of him, is thrown against the rail and tumbles over, falling the full fifty feet to land with a sickening sound in the room below. He is completely motionless, his neck obviously broken.
Grakl scrambles over to the corpse, and grabs his backpack, staves or wands, and pouches.
The hobgoblin points at the corpse cackles with delight.
"Mwahahahaha! Flat like a sandwich! A man-which!"
Grakl scrambles over to the corpse, and grabs his backpack, staves or wands, and pouches.
"Hey, it worked! Like an apple tree! Except with humans! Hee hee! Thanks, Grakl!" Cenciach grins and starts heading for the secret door.
Saamasal struggles against the webbing.
Saamasal struggles against the webbing.
As Grakl makes his way towards the fallen mage, Saamasal struggles in vain against the thick, sticky webbing. Meanwhile, above your heads, Cenciach flies towards the secret door.
Strength check for Milaniel to break free of the web. (1d20+6=13)
Grakl nimbly slips through the sticky strands of web and begins looting the body of the fallen wizard, meanwhile Yhum Yhum tries to force his way to the exit, making good progress as he moves past Milaniel and Saamasal, still struggling to free themselves. Overhead, Cenciach zooms down towards the secret door as the platform continues its descent, you would guess it will arrive in around five rounds time. The cube has slowed slightly as it dissolves the web, although it has now cleared the entranceway to the room.
Saamasal glowers at the lift, then glances back at the advancing cube. "No, can't die here, got to get away..." He struggles against the webbing to no avail.
Seeing how Yuhm Yuhm is trying to use brute for to get out of the webs, Grakl shouts, "Stop using strong, use slippery like rat!"
(escape artist raw using base dex)
Grakl has grabbed the wizard's backpack and wand, Cenciach is hovering in the secret doorway. Yhum Yhum has made some progress but is struggling to force his way through. Saamasal is held tight, helpless as the large gelatinous cube oozes towards him. Milaniel is also held tight. Meanwhile, the platform above you descends.
Grakl says, "Use firepot, for such big mind, you sure forget quick...oh wait, you stuck, no can use, okee me use this one" (the one I had not thrown before...) Chuck1d20+8=16
"Ha Ha! yes! good good! wiggle wiggle wriggle wriggle" *giggle giggle*
As Cenciach hovers in the doorway, Yhum Yhum takes Grakl's advice and begins to clamber over the sticky strands, finding the going much easier than when he was trying to force his way through. Grakl hurls the flask of Alchemist's fire which explodes right next to Saamasal. The fire destroys the webs covering the Githyanki, inflicting more burns, but also freeing him from his predicament. Unfortunately, the fire is still burning as he staggers free of his restraint. The area around him is also cleared of the sticky ropes.
The platform continues to descend, the voices above growing louder now although they are still a few rounds away. Having reached the wall, the cube is now changing directions, heading straight towards Saamasal who is now free to move.
Fire damage on Saamasal trapped in the web. He takes (1d6+2d4=5 hit points damage)
Can I keep my previous roll from last turn and move to N4 still for this turn?
OOC: Do we know where the the platform is going to land? Is it down the hall, or above us? Sorry, I got confused a while back.
Platform is the dotted circle on the map.
Can I keep my previous roll from last turn and move to N4 still for this turn?
Grakl slips easily through the webs, heading towards the doorway where Cenciach and Yhum Yhum wait.
Yuhm Yuhm waits patiently (or as patient as a hyperactive hobgoblin can manage) for the humans to arrive.
Cenciach carefully flies over to take a look at the platform, and readies his breath.
