Cat lets out a yelp and reflexively runs away from the troll before turning around, pointing her wand at it, and casting a spell that evokes a flurry of frost!

(Casting frostbite, troll must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or take 3 cold damage!)

The Troll easily shrugs off the cold blast. It is just too sturdy for the spell.

You hear a shout from below 'Get it Bert! Get it!. It's on your left. No your left'. This is followed by a 'Where did it go?'

Sinak, you are up.

Sinak does not want to get any closer to the large warty green thing, but he wishes to help the drow who is attacking and hanging on the back of the thing.  He shouts out, “Durnan, do you know what this thing is?  What is good to kill it?”

Not waiting for a reply, Sinak holds up his shield with his left hand and shoots a bolt of fire out of his right hand at the beast, hoping to injure it. 

Fire bolt attack at the Troll : Attack: 11 Damage: 7  

The fire bolt hits the other arm of the Troll. It is clearly enraged and looks at you with hatred in its eyes.

Durnan is a bit busy but Joel helpfully answers back

'You are doing great. Fire and acid is the trick. Oh there is a small drake sneaking up behind you by the way'.

After he hears that, Sinak turns to look quickly, trying to see what Joel is talking about.. then focuses back on the Troll.

With the warning from Joel, which may have been a bit magical, you are all able to perceive the Ambush Drake sneaking up on Sinak. I will update the map.

The Ambush Drake will go last in initiative.

Sinak, have you finished your turn?

Sinak says “Thanks!” to Joel and he looks to the southeast, he’s tempted to move away from the ambush drake, then he looks down and beside him to Osborne, thinking quickly “He’ll chomp him and take him out for sure!” , so instead he braces his shield and steps forward slightly, 1 or 2 steps, getting himself in between the drake and Osborne.  

Stirges are up.

When Sinak moves in front of him, he look to see what for. He then sees the drake.

"Oi! There's more monsters in 'ere? Ah bloody hell!"

Stirges B-E sleep the blessed sleep of blood sucking monsters everywhere. Stirge B’s left wing flaps a bit, you think it may be dreaming of flying. 

Stirge F is enraged at the death of its life long hatch-companion Stirge A. Similarly Stirge G is nearly overcome with grief, Stirge G remembers a time they were hungry and Stirge A shared the body of a small human it had killed with them. They both decided to attack Eilla.

Stirge F takes flying aim at Eilla, but bouches off her raised shield.

Stirge G attacks Eilla, but is forced to swerve around Stirge F (who has just bounced off Eilla’s shield) and also misses.

Stirge H wasn’t that fond of Stirge A and flies toward Kelytha and attacks. 

Attack 17. Damage 7

Stirge H manages to latch onto Kelytha and sink its needle into her flesh. It now starts drinking her blood.

[OOC] It is an action to remove a Stirge who is attached

Stirge I flies around Kelytha, looking for the softer meat beyond. It is now about 10ft from Kelytha and Ballen

Kelytha, you are up. The Stirge is attached to your right arm.
