(I think we're back around to Round 2 now, if not, guess save this for then.)
Arynn lets out an involuntary cry of pain from the claw embedded in his arm. "Take the goblins first, I'll keep it distracted." He calls to the others. He then swings his shortsword at the troll's arm to attempt to sever it slightly and keep its attention for the time being, then return to his defensive posture, praying he can outlast such a large foe.
Taman moves to the barricade but does not move over it so that he can use it for cover from the goblins. He sees the troll turn wild at the death of its keeper, but that the thing is still trapped on the wrong side of the portcullis with him and his friends.
He tries to see if there is any quick way to raise the portcullis. (Perception: 20)
Hi fires his hand crossbow at the goblin that is still standing. Attack: 11 Damage: 2
(I am clearly doing something wrong with attack rolls... Will do manual rolls to try to make this work...)
Solastor sees Arynn being mauled by the troll. His anger flares at the site of this darkness dweller. He charges into the cave with his shield blazing light in the face of the troll. He hops over the barricade to stand against the troll. He cast Burning Hands, the light of the flames illuminating the cave.

WIth Buning Hands I would like to try to catch some of the goblins in the cone if they're close enough for me to angle that.

Arynn slashes the troll across the arm with his sword causing a bloody but shallow cut.
Taman then fires arrows at goblin 3 (the one still standing) but misses left then adjusts and fires again and misses right. He is distracted by trying to see what it would take to lift the portcullis and notices a wheel inside to lift it there. If you wanted to lift it from this side it would take a substantial feat of strength.
Solastor then hops over the barricade and flames flow from his hand, the troll taking the full brunt of the blast but the flames then circle the troll and the remaining standing Goblin gets blasted by the flames just as he breathes in and his lungs turn to liquid and he falls to the floor with a gurgle as his chest fills with blood. The sword cut to the trolls arm begins to heal but as the flames lick the troll, the wound breaks back open, and its healing is temporarily suspended.
The troll lets out a massive roar as the two bolts fire into it's eyes then using it's keen sense of smell it swipes at the bloody figure of Arynn in front of him with is claw. Attack: 10 Damage: 10 When it misses it swings again with it's other claw. Attack: 15 Damage: 6. The wind from it's missed swings cools your skin nicely before it once again bites at your neck. Attack: 8 Damage: 4. It then roars again in frustration at having missed it's intended prey.

Frustrated by his poor aim, Redmond takes several steps forward. His blade's glow surges with this frustration emanating a sickly yellow-green mist that moves unnaturally fast and clings to the troll.
The former soldier takes careful aim at the troll and unleashed another bolt of energy.

Fargrim quickly closes the distance between himself and the troll. I need to draw the troll's attention. Even with my healing magic, Arynn won't be able to take much more of this.
His voice still booming thrice as loud with divine power, Fargrim screams at the monstrous troll in front of him. "IN THE NAME OF THE GODS AND CLANGEDDIN SILVERBEARD, I SMITE THEE, VILE BEAST!"
Swinging his axe with supernatural accuracy, the shield of faith around Fargrim seems to be enhanced by another, divine aura, and before his blade is even finished swinging, it is already angling to slice at the troll another time.

The troll begins to bleed green blood in copious amounts as the wounds all over its body begin to accumulate. Once again it lets out a roar, but this time is there a hint of fear?

Just a few moments longer, Arynn thinks to himself, keeping concentrated on the battle. He attempts to get a good slice with the edge of his shortsword along the torso of the troll, attempting to bring it down before it gets a chance to strike again.
Shortsword attack vs. Troll:10 vs. AC. Hit:7 piercing damage.
If the troll still stands, Arynn will adopt his defensive stance again, spending his last Ki point to use Patient Defence.

Arynn slices a the troll but misses with the troll swinging at him like it is. Taman then fires his hand crossbow at the creature but the arrow merely glances off the hide of the beast. When the ringing begins the Troll looks around confused (Wisdom Save 7) and then its injuries begin to show purification as rot begins to form on its body. Then as if by miracle it's wounds begin to close up and the bleeding slows as the arrows fall from its eyes when those wounds close. With another roar it swipes a claw at Arynn once again. Attack: 9 Damage: 11. When it missed it grows even more frantic and tries to swipe at him with its other claw Attack: 20 Damage: 7. It's claw rips through Arynn and it then looks at the screaming dwarf and bites at his face Attack: 8 Damage: 6

Alan takes careful aim over the barricade and fires off another two shots, this time directly at the Troll's eyes.
I'm not taking any chances with a troll. We might be able to handle it all together. I can't believe Arynn is still standing.

We're actually doing it... this is incredible!
Alan, wasting no time, let's two more bolts fly into the beast, focusing on its nose.
If it can't see and can't smell, it'll have to hear us. I like our odds a bit more if it had no nose.
