Navek opens his eyes and nods grateful up to Lorarila. "It goes without saying that you have my thanks, Ms. Lorarila. And... keep safe." He stands up and gives his axe a few shakes to make sure the oil from properly coated it. As he goes to pour another layer on for good measure, he looks up to see Thimbol standing before the gatehouse itself with Sayre not too far behind.

"For ****'s sake." He muttered as he starts marching his way within 30ft of the gatehouse, waving his shield arm in the air in hopes to warn them away silently.  Only if that doesn't seem to work or they move far enough away from the entrance will he call out something along the lines of 'Hey! Troll bastard! I got you something to eat!

Everyone roll me perception checks.

Perception 15

Perception 5

OOC: Uh is Navek yelling for trolls to come out where Thimb and Sayre are trying to look?

(Yes, yes he is)

Perception:  5

No, he isn't! I re-iterate! He's only yelling once they moved away if they catch the signal of him waving them off.

Edit: Though I see NOW where the confusion is coming form... *sigh*.. Whatever. Carry on.

Perception: 3.

Everyone except sayre and Mo hear a deep gruff laugh from inside the gate house when he says food but there Is no movement...

(Maybe the troll knows the voice of the person he faught like... yesterday lol?)

"So....do you think anyone would be mad if we torch the gatehouse? I mean, you sometimes got to smoke thing out of their dens. A couple bolts and I bet it will go up like a match." Rubs her hands together ready to blast the building. 

The gate house is mostly stone but those of you close enough to see inside can see some large wooden beams supporting supporting the corners and stairs in the guard house on the inside..

OOC: Lora talking to who? We can't see the big dirty troll?

(You think that the troll is hiding up in the rafters / second story of the gate house. You all have heard the troll inside the building but cannot see him. The only way you would be able to see him is to actually enter the building... or convince him to present himself to you... or flush him out.)

OOC: Oooooooh!

Sayre moves ahead of Thimb and turns to him.

"Navek yelling isn't the best way in," Sayre begins in a whisper. "Maybe we should head out and face this thing with back up," she adds.

(Lora with Navek) 

Thimbol looks at Sayre in disbelief, "What? We're already here. Let's get this over with."

The halfling pulling out his rope and dropping it on the ground in a pile, then pulling out a flask of oil to pour on the rope. "We can smoke him out and light him up. I'm all about the slow and steady approach, but some things are just taking way too long and I'm not getting paid enough to lounge around."

Grabbing the rope, he'd walk up to the entrance and toss half the rope in. If given time, he'd light the end he still has. If ambushed and crushed by a troll, so be it

Not... sure how to respond to that last post.

Hmm..

So, just assume Navek held position at 30ft away from the tower, and isn't yelling at this point. Just staring in confusion trying to figure out what Thimbol is doing from a distance. Not gonna bother with a roll even if allowed, but will have his prayer for before being Guidance active being on himself.

"Good idea," Sayre says with a shrug allowing the halfling do his plan.

So as the halfling tosses in the rope, the moment the rope lands inside the doorway a large greenish brown troll drops on the to the stone floor with a surprised look on his face as he realizes he hasn't pounced on an enemy. Four large razor sharp tusks are jutting from the front of his face and small bristly hairs cover his shoulders and back. The troll will hold the rope in his large clawed hand and look to the group quickly. As his eyes fall upon Navek a large toothy smile will spread across his face. "You bring more food?" The troll will say in giant.

Thimbol freezes momentarily when the massive creature drops from above. Having never seen a troll, it's presence was terrifying to say the least. 

Though when the rope is grabbed, the halfling lights his side the uses his cunning action to dash away. 

The fire quickly spreads and singes the Trolls hand, dealing 2 fire damage before he drops the rope and snarls before letting our a roar.

Everyone roll initiative!
