Draco feels and hears his sword slam into Sashi and watches her slump over.<span style="font-style: italic">Good</span>, he thinks<span style="font-style: italic">now that she's out of the way, it's time get out of here and find somewhere to enjoy this meal.</span>He pulses both wings powerfully, rising into the safety of the open air, where his enemies cannot follow him. But then he feels a sharp pain in his leg, and things start to go wrong. He is no longer rising, but losing altitude--looking down, he sees an angry dire wolfess with her jaws sunk into his right leg. He kicks and thrashes and beats his wings as hard as he is able, but the combined weight of Geno and Heshaar is too much for his injured body to lift. He collapses, his sword falling to the snow beside him. For the first time in a very long time--perhaps ever--fear grips the dragonfolk.<br/><br/>Initially Geno is only vaguely aware of what is happening outside of the dark throat; his sense of inertia tells him that Draco is moving, but not where-to, how, or why. But when the larger dragonfolk falls, Geno feels the jaws slacken around him and hears Draco's grunts change from menacing to nervous, and he can guess what has happened.<br/><br/>[Draco: -4/167 hp (0%)** incapacitated, bleeding]<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>[Alpha Troll grapple resist: 1d20(15)+27 -5(power attack)=37; resisted]<br/><br/>The giant has learned the humanoid's throwing trick now. When he feels arms going for his waist, he spreads his legs out and keeps his footing.<br/><br/><br/><br/><span style="color: red"><span style="font-weight: bold">&lt;&lt;Round 4&gt;&gt;</span></span><br/><br/><span style="color: brown"><span style="text-decoration: underline">[Status]</span><br/>Chrrou: 42/49 hp (86%) (wildshape: 9 hours) (longstrider: 9 hours)<br/>Fiona: 31/47 hp (66%)* (invisible)  (2/3 rounds of study)<br/>Geno: 49/75 hp (65%)*<br/>Grai: 29/54 hp (53%)*<br/>Heshaar: 32/60 hp (53%)* (longstrider: 9 hours)<br/>Lilandra:70/70 hp (100%)<br/>Sashi: -2/89 (0%)** incapacitated, bleeding<br/>Takal: 61/61 hp (100%)</span><br/><br/><span style="color: orange">[Speeds] <br/>Chrrou: 50 (large wolf) + 10(longstrider) (woodland stride) = 60 ft<br/>Fiona: 30 (medium) * 3/4(snow) = 25 ft<br/>Geno: 20 (medium armor) * 3/4(snow) = 15 ft<br/>Grai: 30 (medium) +30 (grappler) * 3/4(snow) = 45 ft<br/>Heshaar: 50 (large wolf) * 3/4(snow) = 40 ft<br/>Lilandra: 40 (large centipede) +10 (barbarian) * 3/4(snow) = 40 ft<br/>Sashi: 20 (medium armor) +10 (boots) * 3/4(snow) = 25 ft<br/>Sen: 30 (goblin) * 3/4(snow) = 25 ft<br/>Takal: 30 (medium) +30 (monk) * 3/4(snow) = 45 ft</span><br/><br/><span style="color: blue"><span style="text-decoration: underline">[Nutrions]</span><br/>Geno: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/rage.htm">rage (duration: 5 rounds)</a> , +2 climb, +2 hide<br/>Lilandra: +4 move silently, +4 jump, +4 balance, +2 hide<br/>Sashi: +4 survival<br/>Fiona: +4 initiative, +2 hide</span><br/><br/>[Enemy Status]<br/>Troll A: 67/67 (100%) 12 non-lethal AC: 14 (-1 size, +5 natural)  75 feet away<br/>Troll B: 67/67 (100%) 12 non-lethal AC: 14 (-1 size, +5 natural)  75 feet away<br/>Troll C: 67/67 (100%) 12 non-lethal AC: 14 (-1 size, +5 natural)  75 feet away<br/>Troll D: 67/67 (100%) 12 non-lethal AC: 14 (-1 size, +5 natural)  75 feet away<br/>Alpha Troll: 148/159 (93%) 140 non-lethal AC: 19 (-1 size, +6 natural, +3 armor, +1 class)<br/>Draco: -4/167 (0%)** incapacitated, bleeding AC: 22 (+9 natural, -1 size, +4 armor)<br/>Eyle: 86/86 (100%)  AC: 17 (+1 dex, +10 armor, -4 prone)  100 feet away<br/>Wolffolk Fighter: 89/89 (100%) AC: 18 (+3 Dex, +4 armor, +1 shield) 45 feet away<br/><br/>[Effects]<br/>Sleet Storm (centered on rock formation 200 ft away) (8 rounds remaining)<br/>Wall of Thorns (30 ftx30 ft area area centered on point 75 ft away) (1 hour 40 minutes remaining)<br/>Trolls regenerate 5 non-lethal<br/><br/><br/>The troll wraps his arms around Grai, squeezing him in a bear-hug.
