As you approach the enemy, you see they are led by a blond-haired human dressed in chain mail (not studded leather armor). He has 2 short swords at his side. The trolls look much stronger and bigger than usual. They carry no weapons, but you do see 3 javelins are strapped on each of their backs. The villagers watch in fear, as they pray for your survival!
Round 1:
Hrafen flies 30' straight up, and then with a contemptuous wave of his hand, unleashes an Empowered Fireball on the three LHS trolls!
"Try to take the human alive. We could use someone to interrogate..."
Elisen calls down a gout of divine flame upon two of the trolls that Hrafen had already turned crispy.

Round 1:
Hrafen flies 30' straight up, and then with a contemptuous wave of his hand, unleashes an Empowered Fireball on the three LHS trolls!
The two furthest trolls react too slowly and get hit full blast with Hrafen's fireball explosion. The third one manages to avoid some of the blast. However, after the flash of the fire disappears, all three trolls stand there, unharmed. The blonde human leader smiles.
Elisen calls down a gout of divine flame upon two of the trolls that Hrafen had already turned crispy.
Elisen's holy flame strikes the two clumsy trolls, who again fail to evade the column. This time, however, the two trolls are scorched by the fire and they growl in pain.

Nikolai darts forward, loose clothing flapping wildly and he races through the air, halting suddenly in midair he casts a spell, runes flickering and five bolts of silvery light leaping from his finger tips to strike the troll below him.
What is the cause of the difficult terrain?

Bors casts Lead Blade on his adamantine sword and moves to F22.
The blonde haired human smiles and looks up at the 2 flying wizards and the air-walking cleric, "I see, this tiny village has its defenders. No matter, I am Ameon Trask, and I am nothing if not prepared!" With great speed, he grabs one of the three javelins off his back and throws it at Hrafen. However, as soon as the javelin leaves Ameon's hand, it turns into a bolt of lightning that streaks toward the wizard and hits him square in the chest! He then pulls out a gem and directs his trolls to unleash their javelins!
The two trolls (#1+#2) hit by the flamestrike move up 15', pulling out their javelins and launch them at Nikolai, but their throws are poor and they miss him by a mile!
The troll (#3) hit by the magic missiles moves up and throws his javelin at Elisen, but she nimbly dodges it.
Troll #4 throws his javelin at Nikolai as well.
Troll 5 double moves through the terrain.
Troll 6 moves up 15' and throws his javelin at Zalana, but the monk nimbly dodges it.
Round 2:
Hrafen shrugs in annoyance, but otherwise, ignores the human's baiting.
He then fires a volley of force missiles at the troll that has already been damaged by Magic Missile!
Bors draws and consumes a potion of invisibility from his haversack. He will then shift position (5'step worth) in the square. It won't move him anywhere, due to the difficult terrain, but he will not be exactly where he was a moment ago.
Round 2
Nikolai swoops through the air suddenly
He then uses spellrecall to recover fireball and still grinning casts it on the junction C-D;7-8. [ooc]It hits Trolls 1-4 and Ameon. DC 19.
vs. DC 21
Elisen casts a spell at the leader of the troll batallion, hoping it might delay any actions from him for a few seconds, to allow her friends to close with the enemies.

Troll 4:
Ameon:
Nikolai's ball of fire erupts, turning Troll #1 into ash and severely injuring Troll #2 as half his face and 3/4 of his body are burned. Troll #4 failed to move out of the way and got hit with the full blast but stands unharmed. Ameon looks at Nikolai with anger, as he also stands unharmed, leaping out of the way and rolling away from the fire as it exploded.
Elisen casts a spell at the leader of the troll batallion, hoping it might delay any actions from him for a few seconds, to allow her friends to close with the enemies.
Ameon's smile disappears, as Elisen's spell freezes him place!
Zalana darts forward and lashes out, throwing a delicate balled fist at the Troll before her.
The troll lashes out with its claws at Zalana, as she approaches, but she evades his swing by a mile and strikes him clear in the chest with her fist, angering the large monster! He does not appear to be burned by the fist's fire.
Noting that Nikolai's Fireball affected the Trolls, Hrafen's eyes fill with a feral gleam, and he throws down another Fireball, attempting to roast the remaining trolls!
"Take the human alive! I am sure that he will have a lot to tell us..."
Bors double moves stealthily, to F16.

Nikolai twists in the air and then straightens his body like a javelin as he darts for a troll, he lunges in and strikes with his sword, mouthing a spell as he does, his sword crackling with lightning.

On the first punch, the troll takes no fire damage, but the second and subsequent punches use up his fire protection and the smell of burnt flesh is heavy in the air, as all of Zalana's attacks hit and kill the troll on the last blow!
Troll 3 on Nikolai does a full-attack, but both of its claws and bite miss the flying mage:

Elisen pauses, waiting to see if the attackers inflict serious damage on any of the group before deciding her next action.
Nikolai grins wildly despite his wounds, moving with sudden improbable speed, he casts a spell first, orange glowing runes appearing in two rings around his wrists, , then leaping into his sword, which he swings at the troll, and then swipes several more times.

Both trolls still stand!
Nikolai and Zalana's swings fell the remaining trolls! With his blindness gone and his allies dead and three of his enemies flying, Ameon looks around, drops his swords, and intertwines his fingers behind his head, as he drops to his knees in surrender. The villagers go wild, as Tatzlford has been saved!
"Someone bind his hands," Elisen shouts from her flying heights.
