what do we generally know about hill trolls in game?
Banzo's Initiative: 21
(
Hill Trolls- Large, muscular orcoid beings of harsh aspect and brutal habits, clad in hide and leather and carrying stone and iron axes.
They were the first of the Orcoid races, created by Hashak from a stolen piece of the Clay of Life. They were hidden in the dark places of Titan by Hashak when he became embarrassed at having created such stupid and crude beings. Like the Orcs and Goblins, they too were found and corrupted by the Dark Gods, and now many of them are touched by Chaos becoming mutants, many are still bound to the service of Evil by ancient pacts with the Dark Gods.
Trolls are found throughout Titan, but tend to be cruel beings wherever found due to the Dark Gods influence. They can even be found in civilised surroundings, such as Port Blacksand, or in a more unpolished form such as the tribes of the Moonstone Hills. By comparison with other Trolls, those of Port Blacksand might be considered far more intelligent and better trained, and are used as the shock-troops of the city militia by Lord Varek Azzur. Those of the Moonstone Hills and Pagan Plains are organised into militaristic bands usually influenced by a priest or mage of their kind. )
Garet his reactions dulled from the lulling motion of the horseriding, tries to drag himself into the moment.

Shalana breaks into a run, gears and mechanisms whirring, " Assistance required by possible converts!"
Shalanas joints lit with a blue glow and she raced impossibly fast to close the 60' distance and land two punches on the nearest Hill Troll.

The Hill Trolls mostly did not seem to notice the companions yet and still laid into the religious folks among them even as their movements became sluggish, though the one struck by Shalana wheeled about trying to strike at the automaton.

As the companions moved they saw the three remaining acolytes struck down in showers of blood, the Hill Trolls axes carving through their bodies...Shalana dodged to the side almost escaping but the Hill Trolls axe scraped across her chassis knocking her aside.
One of the Hill trolls snatched up the grey altar covering off of the cart revealing a golden statue, as the troll raised his axe to smash it the High Priest threw himself between the blade and the relic, the axe carved through the old man and struck the statue breaking it open. There was a sudden inrush of air and a golden light began to flicker before exploding into a conflagration of silvery-gold light....a figure began to form in the centre of the light...too bright to make out what it was....
Herman charged forward on his horse, dismounting and throwing himself forward to land in front of a trailing troll and hacked at it with his weapon, the blade scraping across its crude armour.
Enwynn, despite her shocked face and silent tongue, notes the sudden brightness from the statue's breaking, along with the broken bodies of their former servants even as she aims an arrow at the closest hill troll.
Garet urged his horse into the fray, dismounting just before the Melee knowing that his mount was not a warhorse and equally likely to cause him and his comrades as much damage as their foes.
Dismounted from the horse Garet surged into the fray, drawing his sun blade and with a thought the blade seared into existence.
With the strange light blaring into being Garet wanted to make quick work of the Trolls, knowing that time was of the essence, he didnt draw his dagger this time instead gripping his sun blade in two hands.
Garet engaged the first Hill Troll he could swinging his sword in a vicious two handed arc and with the thought in his head to end this quickly he reversed the stroke again a vicious two handed back slice.

Ennwyn Longbow: Attack: 14 Damage: 9
Garet charged in after Herman, cutting two deep slashes in the leftmost Hill Troll, as Ennwyns arrow buried itself in a rather shady looking clump of tussock grass.
( Zeltheris, Banzo, Shalana and Tzedaka are up)
Banzo will rush 30 feet closer, take the Dodge action, and cast Misty Step to appear right in the middle of the hill trolls.
"Cover me, I'm going in!"
(Can we have a map of parties location and trolls?)
( Sure. But your likely to regret it once you see my level of artistic talent...it'll have to wait til I'm at a PC again)
