You all walk into the cavern to the west, and find a veritable hoard of treasure collected by the Topknot trolls. This treasure comes in the form of mainly reliquary's of deceased Deep Gnomes, as well as some old packs from adventurer's, perhaps those who've tried to tackle the trolls in the past. You find:
"grandpa" Salkur, Gnome Arti/Sorc: Forged in Chaos | Pepin, Human Arti/Cleric: Goblin horde | Mixtli, Volc Genasi Arti: Champions of the Citadel | Erix Vadalitis, Human Druid: Rising from the last war |Smithy, Human Arti: Night Ravens: Black orchids for Biscotti | Tamphalic Aliprax, Dragonborn Wizard: Chronicles of the Accursed | Doc, Dwarven Cleric (2024): Adventure at Hope's End | Abathax, Tiefling Illriger: Hunt for the Balowang | Gorin Mestel, Human Arti: Descend into Avernus
Back out the 15ft opening is the only way out of the treasure room. I don't have a [Tooltip Not Found] message. There's 2 potions of healing, a potion of greater healing, and a spell scroll of disguise self.
Alright clear; potion added; who wants the scroll?
"Shall we wait a bit longer and see if we can funnel the trolls through that opening?" Erix suggests

Alright, so if you all are going to wait, i'm going to roll a couple WIS checks for the Troll leaders as to their plans. The first one will be for the leader of the Topknots, Greezelet, to see if she has the foresight to come out and investigate with the rest of her crew. The next roll is for the leader of the Slaverers, who is yet unknown to you, to see if they will use this opportunity to finally try and invade the Topknot section of the cave:
After a few minutes of waiting in the treasure cave, you hear the sound of Greezelet's voice again from the middle section outside. Clearly the Slaverers are staying out of this and letting the Topknots try to handle you themselves. Greezelet shouts, "Look what they've done to our brothers! They must be in the Treasure Room! Get in there and kill them!!" Two more trolls appear in the entrance, while an even bigger female troll behind them, green spittle dripping down her chin and the fur on her head done up in a topknot. Initiative:
Group 1: Zoveldra, LANDMOP, Erix, and Mark
Group 2: Greezelet and the Topknots
Group 3: Elero
Group 1 is up. Two trolls stand in front of you, while Greezelet backs them up from behind.
Erix casts Web in the opening to the treasure room including the area with the 2 trolls. DC15 dex save or be restrained upon starting turn in the web or moving into the webs.
The panther sees the webs arrive and stays on this side; ready to attack when the trolls come within reach. (The badger was dead I believe)

Zoveldra and Mark also shoot Troll 1, who immidiately heals 15 Hp. Troll 1 then tries to break the webbing, as does Greezelet, who also makes a con save to lose the blindness. Troll 2 advances on the panther, rending at it. If the panther dies it will move on to Elero.

Greezelet Con Save: 9
Troll 1 Str check: 11
Rend against Panther Attack: 11 Damage: 9 Slashing

To hit 13 or 5dmg.

This treasure comes in the form of mainly reliquary's of deceased Deep Gnomes, as well as some old packs from adventurer's, perhaps those who've tried to tackle the trolls in the past. You find:
5,206gp in assorted gems and totems.
2 Potion of Healing
A Potion of Healing (Greater)
A Spell Scroll of Disguise Self.
And a strange pearl that shines with unusual light in the darkness of the caves.
The trolls out in the caverns continue to yell, becoming more hostile and impatient.
((How big is the opening into this cavern?
And what is [Tooltip Not Found] ?
Potions of healing have been added to party inventory))
"grandpa" Salkur, Gnome Arti/Sorc: Forged in Chaos | Pepin, Human Arti/Cleric: Goblin horde | Mixtli, Volc Genasi Arti: Champions of the Citadel | Erix Vadalitis, Human Druid: Rising from the last war | Smithy, Human Arti: Night Ravens: Black orchids for Biscotti | Tamphalic Aliprax, Dragonborn Wizard: Chronicles of the Accursed | Doc, Dwarven Cleric (2024): Adventure at Hope's End | Abathax, Tiefling Illriger: Hunt for the Balowang | Gorin Mestel, Human Arti: Descend into Avernus
And is there another way out of this treasure room, or is back the way we came our only option?
Back out the 15ft opening is the only way out of the treasure room. I don't have a [Tooltip Not Found] message. There's 2 potions of healing, a potion of greater healing, and a spell scroll of disguise self.
Alright clear; potion added; who wants the scroll?

(LANDMOP can scribe it into their spellbook eventually)
"That is a sound strategy." LANDMOP agrees
"Probably best to wait and see if they find us, and make a stand in the cave opening," Elero agrees.
Alright, so if you all are going to wait, i'm going to roll a couple WIS checks for the Troll leaders as to their plans. The first one will be for the leader of the Topknots, Greezelet, to see if she has the foresight to come out and investigate with the rest of her crew. The next roll is for the leader of the Slaverers, who is yet unknown to you, to see if they will use this opportunity to finally try and invade the Topknot section of the cave:
Greezelet WIS check: 18
Slaverer leader WIS check: 4
After a few minutes of waiting in the treasure cave, you hear the sound of Greezelet's voice again from the middle section outside. Clearly the Slaverers are staying out of this and letting the Topknots try to handle you themselves. Greezelet shouts, "Look what they've done to our brothers! They must be in the Treasure Room! Get in there and kill them!!" Two more trolls appear in the entrance, while an even bigger female troll behind them, green spittle dripping down her chin and the fur on her head done up in a topknot. Initiative:
Group 1: Zoveldra, LANDMOP, Erix, and Mark
Group 2: Greezelet and the Topknots
Group 3: Elero
Group 1 is up. Two trolls stand in front of you, while Greezelet backs them up from behind.
Zoveldra, LANDMOP, Erix, and Mark are up.
LANDMOP casts Blindness on Greezelet DC 15 Con save
Erix casts Web in the opening to the treasure room including the area with the 2 trolls. DC15 dex save or be restrained upon starting turn in the web or moving into the webs.
The panther sees the webs arrive and stays on this side; ready to attack when the trolls come within reach. (The badger was dead I believe)
"grandpa" Salkur, Gnome Arti/Sorc: Forged in Chaos | Pepin, Human Arti/Cleric: Goblin horde | Mixtli, Volc Genasi Arti: Champions of the Citadel | Erix Vadalitis, Human Druid: Rising from the last war | Smithy, Human Arti: Night Ravens: Black orchids for Biscotti | Tamphalic Aliprax, Dragonborn Wizard: Chronicles of the Accursed | Doc, Dwarven Cleric (2024): Adventure at Hope's End | Abathax, Tiefling Illriger: Hunt for the Balowang | Gorin Mestel, Human Arti: Descend into Avernus
Greezelet Con save: 9
The web could probably hit all three trolls.
Greezelet Dex Save: 8
Troll 1 Dex Save: 8
Troll 2 Dex Save: 18
Zoveldra and Mark also shoot Troll 1, who immidiately heals 15 Hp. Troll 1 then tries to break the webbing, as does Greezelet, who also makes a con save to lose the blindness. Troll 2 advances on the panther, rending at it. If the panther dies it will move on to Elero.
Greezelet Str check: 14
Greezelet Con Save: 9
Troll 1 Str check: 11
Rend against Panther Attack: 11 Damage: 9 Slashing
Rend against Panther Attack: 24 Damage: 12 Slashing
Rend against Panther Attack: 12 Damage: 13 Slashing
Greezelet and Troll 1 are still affected by the conditions, while Troll 2 is on the attack. You all are up.
Troll 2 would be attacked by Panther's readied attack:
To hit 8 for 9 dmg; Panther survives the Rend's and attacks again before disenganing to the back:
Crit for 9dmg
Erix meanwhile attacks the troll with a Thorn whip without pulling it forward:
To hit 13 or 5dmg.

Zoveldra moves to attack Troll 2 since it has escaped the web.
Action: Unarmed Strike to hit 10
Extra Attack: Unarmed Strike to hit 27, damage 11 force
Bonus Action: Unarmed Strike to hit 17, damage 11 force

Elero will shoot his crossbow at Troll 2, if it's still up. Otherwise he'll shoot at Troll 1:
Light Crossbow Attack: 26 to hit and 7 damage
Bonus action: the Protector Cannon pulses out 6 temp HP to whoever needs it, trying to maneuver so it can heal the panther as well.
LANDMOP will try and hit Troll 2 with a Chill Touch to stop it's regeneration.
Attack: 22 Damage: 5
Continuing concentration on Blindness
