Berrus motions back for everyone to keep moving

this entry deleted due to operater not paying attention and posting in wrong chat

Shae makes a motion as if zipping her own mouth.

Maxine, that to her surprise found herself moving around with a grace and quietness of an elephant in a porcelain shop, was too busy to keep some degree of discretion to strategize, so, she was just following orders and suggestions of others.

Berrus, since you're at the tip of the formation, I want you to roll a stealth check please.

oooh my favorite  

Stealth  9

Shae readies herself in anticipation.

Fang eyes her warily hoping she doesn’t do something rash. 

The troll sniffs at the air again...

...and turns its head towards your group. In the sunny day, some of the rays glint off of Berrus' well-kept armour, and the troll advances further to investigate. It looks like it knows something isn't here that doesn't belong, and that you have only moments before it'll come charging at you.

What do you all want to do? Also, don't forget that you can ready actions so as to take advantage of positioning. If you ready an action, I need to know what you want to do and what your trigger for doing so is.

"Damn, I knew it's too easy! We need a wall of fire between us and him. If he has a shred of intelligence, he would not walk into the flame. I still have some oil - a couple camp-fire spells plus oil and he might turn away."

She began to search her beautiful new bag. If no one objects, Maxine would not wait but cast Create Bonfire and next use the mage hand to distribute the oil in a line between the party and the troll.

Glasses:

The Professor will grip his pipe as they sneak along.  He readies to drop a fog cloud on the troll as soon as it gets in range (120 feet center of spell, 20 foot radius).  With any luck, the troll will get confused by the effect...but he has nothing to help with hiding them from its sense of smell and hearing.

OOC:  Rules question--Fog Cloud is a concentration spell, but it comes from the item, not Snively himself.  Will that take down Mushu's invisibility?

Berrus moves behind the fire line and crouches

Again motioning everyone to keep moving

Observing Maxine create a wall of fire, thinks to himself ‘I guess we're doing this’, as he knocks an arrow to his bow ready to mark the creature before firing should it start charging the group. (Your description made it sound sounded it is wounded?)

Shae’s eyes would go wide, she wasn’t 100% sure on the fire idea, but it was happening. Following Berrus’ lead, she would crouch as well, ushering the professor with the disc and its protectors to move along first. Keeping an eye out. If anyone should get stuck or bogged down in the mud, she’d help them out.

OOC: Professor, the concentration applies to the invisibility, the fog cloud happens as part of the item, and doesn't require additional concentration on your part. Shae, you could try to separate the water, creating puddles instead. Not sure if that is what you want though. Fang, yes, the troll is wounded, though regenerating rapidly.

As soon as the Troll starts barrelling down towards your group, Maxine lights up a bonfire and within seconds, the oil ignites, separating the troll from the stream and creating enough smoke on the muddy ground to block your party. The Professor's fog cloud adds to the effect to further confuse the other side of the stream. Confused and enraged by the smell of fire, the troll bellows a terrifying roar, and seems to try and find a way through the fog cloud to get around the fiery wall and towards his new food. 

In the meantime, with Shae's help, the group gets a good deal closer to the stream, but as you are within ninety feet of the stream, you spot the troll breaking through the fog cloud, finding itself face to face with the flames before it.

Maxine, Fang and Professor, what would you like to do?

Fang seeing their attempt to get around the troll quietly, go up in flames (see what I did there) says while looking at the troll “May the flames from the arrow find their mark” Hunter's Mark. Fang then pours some of Maxine’s oil on his arrow and takes careful aim at the creature hoping to have the arrow both fly through the fire and find one of the creatures eyes (preferably it’s good eye).

Glasses:

The Professor keeps moving along, conscious of the lives depending on him back on the floating disc.  Seeing the troll about to go around/through the fire after emerging from the fog cloud, he casts Flaming Sphere, causing the flaming sphere to appear to the northwest of the Troll, attempting to box it in against the wall of flames.  The ball jumps at him from that direction, trying to burn him. (Snively hopes that by having the Flaming Sphere appear to the northwest of the Troll, it will confuse him as to where the fire attack is coming from).

Flaming Sphere Fire Damage, DC 14 Dexterity Save for Half:  8

As soon as creature going to cross the fire, Maxine will use Mage hand to deliver torchstalks on top of the intruder.

Berrus continuing to keep himself between the party and the troll

Fang, your shot flies past the troll's face, and with that it snaps towards you, fixing you with it's yellow eyes. Before it is able to advance though, it is hit in full force by the professor's flaming sphere, looking rather surprised behind itself, before turning back towards the hunter. Just at that moment, Maxine drops the first of the torch stalks, right into the flames.

It catches fire, but doesn't explode yet.

Convinced you mean to harm it, the troll pushes through the flames to quickly leap into the stream. The flames cause the troll a further 1 damage.

Shae and Professor, you're up.
