27 - Troll Hive - 11-01-2018

·
Party headed west along the trail toward Geyana.
They encountered two well-armoured travellers, who informed them that there is
a troll hive in the mountains beyond the town, and if they were looking for the
“place where you can rent dragons” then they were going the wrong way. Black
Black also piped up that he didn’t know this is where the party wanted to go,
and stated that Dragons can be rented in Adalmore.

·
Party decide to go on ahead to Geyana and scout
it out, possibly load up on supplies and explore the idea of taking on the
troll hive.

·
Party arrive in the town and head to the inn – “The
Miming Donkey”. The old lady (Rosalyn) behind the bar lets them rent the attic
for the evening.

·
Pitt overhears two dwarves talking and tells them
that people often head to the troll hive as the cave system is known as the “Tomb
of the Forsaken King” and the king was supposedly buried with a wealth of
treasure. However, because of the trolls, no one who ever visits the tomb ever
returns. One of the dwarves questions Dhurgir and asks if he is “*the* Dhurgir” Therin pushes this and
ascertains that the Dwarves know of one called Dhurgir who was kicked out of
the Dwarf City for killing one of his own. Dhurgir claims no memory of this.

·
Therin, Pitt and Black Black stay behind for a
drink. Dhurgir, Ellemin and Greyson explore the town. Ellemin walks into a
strangers’ house and he is threatened. After attempting to intimidate, Ellemin
is struck with a rake and he begins to bleed. The stranger threatens all of
them, and begins to knock on the door of his neighbour, Brian. The three leave
and head back to the inn.

·
Black Black is very drunk – he is about 6 beers
deep when everyone is back together. He is very vocal about his distaste for
Greyson’s new found friends and questions what they are doing. Greyson tells
the party that Black Black is an alcoholic. Everyone goes to bed but Black
Black stays downstairs to continue drinking.

·
The next morning, the party awake and head into
town, leaving Black Black on the floor of the inn in a pile of his own vomit.
They purchase some vegetables and head into the mountains.

·
The scramble up to the cave is treacherous, and
the party begin to smell an awful troll smell, and hear the moans and groans of
the mountain trolls. Dhurgir enters the cave and communicates that he sees a
large cavern inside, but only three trolls.

·
Party agree to try and take them on. Therin and
Dhurgir both throw in their halves of the Molotov Cocktail and a flame engulfs
the inside of the cave. The trolls burst forward into the corridor where the
party were hiding and smash people left and right, causing heavy damage and
causing Greyson to be knocked out. Dhurgir uses a limit break to run back and
save him.

·
The party descend the mountain path quickly and
revive Greyson. Black Black catches up to them and apologises for being drunk
the previous evening. He speaks of a way to get to Adalmore quickly, but it involves
going off the beaten path and crossing the river to the south.

·
Party head back to the inn and pay for another
night. Game ends in the evening, party haven’t slept yet.

**Funnies**

·
Ellemin – “Therin, when are your wings gonna
sprout?”

·
Dhurgir digs a latrine but has nothing to wipe
with – uses an artisanal bread roll. The next morning, Greyson and Ellemin do
kip-ups to determine who should win the bread roll. They split it in two and
Ellemin nearly eats it.

·
“A minute on the lips…you just ate sh\*t”

·
Greyson “The candles were on?”

·
Greyson – “Great night! He got Raked!”

·
Ellemin – “Give Brian my regards. Tell him he’s
a **f\*\*king ar$ehole**. And I’m out”.

·
Ellemin (trying to interpret Dhurgir’s hand
gestures in the dark cave) “A raven…trying to do a stinky fart?”

**Attacks**

·
Ellemin gets hit with a rake

·
The trolls ambush the party and Greyson is
knocked to the ground, kicked and beaten until unconscious.

·
Dhurgir uses a limit break to save the day
