Gabriel grunted when the powerful smacking blow sends him flying across the kitchen and rams into wall, but despite burning pain in his back he is still standing though but he has to wonder where and how these guys got hands on masks which allowed see through illusions. Are protectors backed up by someone?<br/><br/><em>Are protectors part of the Asmodeus cult and just play the role of defender poorly on purpose? Or are these pretty damn expensive mercenaries?</em><br/><br/>None the less he hopes reinforcements arrive but he needs survive too. So he straightens his position and he uses a prayer to enchant his blade with something what all trolls fear instinctively; fire.<br/><br/>"Goddess, grant me touch of burning wrath against vile creatures of darkness...."<br/><br/>Then Gabriel's sword blazes into golden flames by blessing of the goddess through his divine bond what he has with her. Holding blade ready and his shield up to defend himself and waits the troll try crawl in. He moves stand short distance from door way so troll is forced squeeze himself onto tiny door frame to have reach to hit him. He eyes on the dark passage and stairs, so the sounds from lower floor may have gone down through that to pantry.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Power of Faith gave me +1 moral bonus to AC and invisibility gives in itself +4 bonus to AC even when my location is known....so troll hit me even through 33 AC?! Nasty! Anyways uses divine bond enchant weapon with <em>flaming</em> quality. Then move action stand near the door but not adjacent to it so troll cannot grapple or strike through the door frame with reach. Force troll squeeze in and so get lots penalties to AC doing so and effectively block the entrance from other guys. Either way Gabriel is not yet visible but he is shining none the less and his light could dispel some darkness from the kitchen and passage down. Anyways what I recall typical troll rolls will save when they see or feel fire wounds (will save each time per fire injury) so if troll does not have fire resistance it will back off from Gabriel. Which is good thing as I cannot stand full attack from that thing :P. At best my AC can be once I attack once I challenge the troll to get +3 dodge bonus to AC and then have 31 AC.<br/></div></div>
