"How long do we keep this up?" Shannigans wonders aloud as he stabs unsuccessfully at the troglodyte at the intersection.
Strom, too, continues to have difficulties landing a successful blow, but is able to keep the beasts at bay. The halfling continues to draw the ire of the intersection trog, but both he and
Strom are able to avoid harm.
Aric's barbarian anger flares as he continues to be parried by the trog.
"I'll see this one in hell before I move!" he growls; his rage overriding any strategic sense. The enraged barbarian continues his ambidextrous attack, but is unable to connect with either as his sword swipe is defected away effortlessly and his axe narrowly misses.
Aric's reflexes prove to be too much as both attacks against him are unsuccessful.

Whilst the group of warriors fight, and
Shannigans,
Fimmion takes notice of the sounds of multiple creatures heading from the tunnels he is watching. He throws his torch into the dark in front of him, illuminating the intersection.
"Guys! Looks like we have an incoming group from my side. Ready yourselves!" He waits; the magical words needed to conjure up his arcane powers repeating in his head, preparing to be released.
Kaltar, hearing the chef's call, leaves the barbarian to resolve his skirmish and rushes to the side of the mage.
The torch
Fimmion tossed is picked up, held for a moment, then appears to approach.
At first sight of the creature now in possession of his torch,
Fimmion brings his thumbs together and spreads his fingers. The magical words he had been repeating in his head are now said audibly and a jet of searing flame shoots from his fingertips at the familiar head of the swamp beast that comes into a view before quickly sneaking behind the newly arrived
Kaltar. A "scream" is heard as the burnt form of a child troglodyte crumbles to the ground sizzling and another "scream" is heard; evidently from its guardians that trailed behind the youth and are now enraged.
Kaltar jumps to the defense of the chef and clubs the first adult troglodyte that presents itself, stunning the creature, but the determined beast answers with a javelin strike that overpowers the cleric
(-4).
