Rhanloi's Romp Through the Sword Coast

(Gator Tail - yum! Too bad you don't have a lemon, some butter, and a little salt... =) Pending Perkas rest actions, will just need a successful Survival check to move on.) 

Perkas will spend her downtime cleaning her gear, wringing out her socks and boots. When droop offers a chance to eat she takes it quickly. She nods her head with 'thanks' and sits by the others while eating. 'This is pretty good.'

Rest: 10

Survival: 2+5=7 (inspiration to add 3) =10

After recuperating a bit, the intrepid party sets out again, hoping to pick up the trail. You backtrack as best as you can to where you last had the trail, when you hear a ruckus in the distance along the trail you are following. Moving quietly towards the sound, you come across three trolls fighting over the remains of a lizardfolk. The trolls claw and bite each other, trying to take possession of the tasty lizardfolk remains. What do you do?

(are we hidden or in some type of cover)

Perkas stays quiet and looks to the group with a shrug of her shoulders with a questioning nod as if to say 'if you want to, I'm down for the fight'

The trolls are pretty occupied with each other at the moment and haven't noticed you. If the group would like to remain hidden in the reeds and grasses, then give me a group Stealth check =) 

Penumbra motions to the party to crouch low among the reeds. Then through a series of convoluted and nonsensical hand signals she attempts to communicate with the group. After a moment of worried silence Droop turns to the rest of the party and whispers. "Says wait here, something she always wanted to try?" The little goblin looks as confused as anyone else.

Stealth for group check: 13

If the group check passes and no one stops Penumbra: 

(Everybody needs to roll Stealth checks, please =) For Penumbra:

Stealth: 15

For a precarious moment Manfred slips, teetering on the edge of crashing through branches and into something disgusting, before his natural good luck asserts itself and he regains his balance… A bead of sweat trickles down his brow.

Stealth: 15

(Mobile) 

Wakka stealth: 9...

Despite Wakka's stumble, the party manages to stay hidden - the three trolls are too fixated on the tasty food up for grabs. The fight rages on for several rounds, each troll injuring the others and looking more and more hurt. Finally, one of the three gives up and walks away, bleeding and limping. Unfortunately, he is staggering towards your hiding place! (Go ahead and roll initiative. You get one surprise round! The nearest troll is 10' away, the other two are 30' away.)

Troll 1: 19
Troll 2: 2
Troll 3: 2

(Mobile)

Wakka was hoping that the Trolls would either knock each other out or shamble off in a different direction.   When it became clear that was never going to happen, Wakka readied himself and when one of the Trolls shambled a bit too close, he launched himself at it and struck it twice in the legs with his Axe!

Initiative: 19

Attack: Hit- 23/ Damage- 10 slashing

Extra Attack: Hit- 28 (Nat 20!!)/ Damage- 12 slashing + 12 cold (using 1 charge of Bite of Winter)

"This should be fun." Perkas says with  a giggle as she starts skipping backwards. 

Perkas will back up a good 20' feet from the closest troll and HM one of the ones farther back and fire off two shots.

Movement 20' back

Bonus: Hunter's Mark

Bolt 1:  to hit- 27   / damage 14+5(hm)=19

*edit- realized I forgot initiative this morning.... 19+3=22

Manfred Initiative: 12

Surprise round action: Manfred reacts quickly to the approaching troll, hurling a small fiery sphere at it... (24 to hit, 22 fire damage) He then backpedals 20 feet to open up some more room between him and the horrid trolls...

• Perkas gets into a better firig position and launches two bolts at Troll #3, hitting with both.
