Round 7

Kendrick has another go at the remaining trog and curses his inexperience. Ewell is equally ineffective with his long sword against the annoyingly resilient creature. Darrin continues the string of unsuccessful attempts to end the swamp creatures life, and the situation gets complicated when the beast sinks its javelin into the gut of the the already wounded apprentice, sending Darrin tumbling to the ground.

End of round 7. I'll need actions and initiatives for round 8.

Kendrick ruminates on the tenacity of women protecting their young. He'd bid her a cheery, "Well done" and, "Go and trouble this land no more," were she not trying to skewer him and his friends.
Sorry, but this is becoming almost comical. Not just you, but the totality of what this heavily wounded creature has been able to consistently survive.
Which reminds me, Ewell, please make two attacks this round and end it. Please.

O'rek, unable to attack the bastard, holds back with a watchful eye on the passages into the room.

Do we know how much damage Darrin did previously, or is that something we wouldnt know? Ewell's 5 damage (7-2 for stench) may still not have killed her if she had 7-9HP... So, we might still have another round to go...

I had to look it up and...
I can't update again until later but, maddeningly, the thing still stands.

If we've all posted our actions, and the thing still stands, can we post our next round's actions to get this thing dead?

I haven't made its rolls for the current round, but feel free to post ahead if you'd like. I'll obviously resolve the current round first, but can post two rounds at the same time if I have everything I need.

No, you're right. It's just hilarious now. As long as Kendrick doesn't get killed.
Fun fact: the probability of Kendrick missing an AC5 opponent 5 times in a row is about 1/20. So as frustrating as this is, it's no more improbable than a critical miss, and at least Ken's sword hasn't been damaged (knock on virtual wood).

However this magically endowed trog has survived... Ewell will end her life this time. with glee. (Damage is only 6, but with the previous 5 and whatever Darrin did, she cant be above a 9, so toast)
Ewell finally manages to dispose of the last remaining troglodyte without further incident (+120xp each) when, from down the side passage across the chamber, you hear the familiar voice of Epsilon call out:"They are down here. Hurry!"

Ewell quickly turns toward the warning, and heads toward the door, waiting only long enough to not outrun the lamp's glow.
He will keep his sword ready, knowing there are small trogs and certainly more adults around.

Kendrick follows Ewell, switching back to the spear he borrowed from Ewell. He'll also pick up one of the trogs' javelins in case he needs it.

That's the XP for one super-trog. What about the rest?

oh, wait... Forgot about darrin... Did O'rek have clw's to use on him? We can't leave him in there dying... someone needs to bind him up. If Raven doesn't, Ewell will, I suppose...

Oh, right! Bad paladin!
Please belay my previous move. Kendrick will tend to Darrin as much as possible, binding his wounds as a start. Can he tell whether 2 hp worth of laying on hands would make a difference between consciousness or not?
