This is not the first troll Sigrid has encountered, she has met another before and learned from him some interesting snippets of Troll-lore to add to her language ability.
Isvand bashes the held cell door, it stands firm and unwavering in the grasp of the troll, braced as a shield to stop physical intervention which may frustrate the martial instincts of Sir Dewey & Orgoth. The paladin cautions the party from attacking, seeking parlay, used successfully to negotiate Sundance and Treyvor's release. She, along with Patra-patra, Gerdal, Cosmo & Gideon crowd into the corridor turn. Sir Dewey ushers the others, Orgoth, Sven, Amos, Isvand, Copperpiece to the other side of the cell.
Sigrid sings a lament in Trollish, a dirge about the lifting of divine curses. She cannot charm the creature per se, but may influence his actions; quelling anger, inciting bravery, soothing fears. Perhaps she could lower his defences mentally so that others may take advantage of any perceived weakness.
Sven could initiate a new barrage of Magic Missiles but knows should his incantation prove weak in power, it may not then be enough to stop the troll from tearing Sigrid limb from limb and from head too. The mage takes the fractured terracotta Leprechaun from Orgoth , 'Ask and you shall receive', the words etched into the figure's design.
Cosmo, having faced down petrifying divine aspects of draconic gods has no fear to face down the Troll, Orcus servant or not. He offers up an offering, tempting the Troll to release its grip in Sigrid and the cell down by invoking a Hypnosis which might affect its grip on reality and personal volition.
Hypnosis Save: 13+ [1d20]=15
Even lulled by the singing of the seidr-skald, the Troll is able to withstand the allure of the gnome. He responds to Sigrid's singing and provocating taunts.
of course he was praying for relief as the zombies tore him apart and were nibbling, gnawing and chewing upon him, even as he regenerated. While they feasted upon him, the team could have shut the cell door, cast Mending upon the lock and sealed them in again."You prayed to Orcus and he sent me to end your pain"
But now you have slain the Ravenous, the Troll can regenerate freely.
The Troll respects your instinct to end his suffering, even at cost to putting yourself in harm's way from the Ravenous."But you rebuke the gift he sent you. I am prepared to meet the All-Father and know he will toast me for my deed. I doubt Orcus will be as kind to one who debases his gift."
He doesn't fear death and exalts his commitment to Orcus, saying you will both die together and he will present you to Him as a gift for allowing him into 'paradise', even an Abyssal or hellish one.
He says this in Trollish, so others will not understand his vocabulary unless a Comprehend Language is used.
Sigrid you have covered the Troll's shoulders in your oil doused cloak, you are both smothered with the lantern fuel. No one has a firebrand to hand though you know Sundance has a particular speciality animation of her Magic Missile spell.
Troll-head voices his own dirge and lament.
sorry I advanced the update before Gerdal and Gideon post but I don't think they could intervene directly with others crowding in too.
Actions Sigrid response to Troll-head's talk.
Actions others?
Magic Missile is one of those spells which can be 'cast' but held in reserve to trigger at any certain point within the duration. So I don't mind Sven rolling MM damage and saying 'this will be invoked 'if the Troll shows signs of attack', or I get the signal from Sigrid, etc.
So you can count that as this rounds action if you want.
, still standing, but barely.
