				&nbsp; As the sun sets the water partially recedes with it, revealing the narrow strip of sand that links your island to that of the mainland. Once on the beach of the same sand but different land you will need to head east past the Troll Hills and by early morning you should be well within the edges of the goblinoid’s realm.<br>&nbsp; The next night you will be able to cross the grasslands and be in the general area where the drow expeditionary force would have entered the territory of the Abandoned Galleon. After that it will all depend on luck, how quickly you can find a month old battle site, and how close the bodies are buried, if they are at all.

				Nelynda watched the male warily.&nbsp; True, he was spawn of her mistress, but more importantly, he was male.&nbsp; And worthless.&nbsp; What had her life been reduced to, that accompanying a mere male was the least repugnant of her options?&nbsp; The dwarves were merry drunkards, but they had no appreciation for the finer things, focusing their attention on mechanics and ignoring ascetics and the arts.&nbsp; At least the male reminded her of something familiar - all those gears and masts and ropes and pulleys made her dizzy.&nbsp; <br><br>"Why do you want to go there?"&nbsp; She asked, not for the first time - she didn't see much point in returning to the galleon - there would be kobolds and goblins and Mistrss P'rztall&nbsp; was dead.&nbsp; By now, even her bones were likely gone.&nbsp; Skipping lightly over the rocks, she made her way from sand to grass, and turned back to her companion, awaiting his answer.

				Talneth sighed, turning impatiently to the surface elf. "For the last time. My mother always carried valuable magic items on her person. The goblinoids wouldn't have done anything with them except maybe hiding them. I'd like to recover what I can and make use of it," he snapped. She knew it was a lie as well as he did; that was why she kept asking. Truthfully, he didn't know. It certainly wasn't love -- his mother had never treated him as anything more than a pawn. A valuable pawn, perhaps, but still highly disposable. A sense of closure? He and his mother <em>did</em> have unfinished business concerning her willingness to let him be sacrificed to Lolth. Or maybe it was revenge, on the kobolds who had denied him the pleasure of tearing out her throat himself.<br><br>His footfalls on the sand and then the grass were silent, barely even stirring the unstable ground beneath. His eyes, functioning in the infrared spectrum, saw her as a red configuration of heat patterns as he looked at her, as if to add something to his statement. Instead, he turned back to the road, chewing his bottom lip as a silent form of grumbling. His hood was pulled up over his white hair, and his hands hung at his sides, in easy reach of his weapons.

				She didn't believe it for a second, but then she had nothing else to do and it did get her out of the mechanical nightmare that was the dwarven hold.&nbsp; She watched him for a long moment, her violet eyes picking up every nuance of his expression and feature in after-dusk light.&nbsp; She couldn't trust him of course, but she found she didn't care.&nbsp; What if he betrayed her?&nbsp; She wasn't really living anymore, at least staying with him life would be... interesting.<br><br>"It's this way."&nbsp; She turned northeast, following the coastline as her clothing appeared to melt and flow into a new form - a green archer's tunic loose and comfortable over her upper frame, over tights of a mottled brown that hugged her every delicious curve, tucked into high leather boots with soft soles that barely crunched as they hit the sand.&nbsp; She'd had no trouble going this way before, though she hid whenever she heard anything suspicious.

				&nbsp; The two of you set off towards your destination, frowning at the wet sand that causes you much discomfort as the gritty particles rub against the skin of your feet and no matter how hard you try you cannot remove all of it.<br>&nbsp; You walk on between the dwarven tress, known so for their stout, fat trunks, which litter the beach between the lapping waves and the exposed soil of the troll hills: the rough, clumped terrain indeed reminiscent of the monster’s warty hide.<br>&nbsp; Then a roar sounds through the night and soon a giant hulking form lumbers out to match it. The troll is large even for its species, a full three feet taller than the average one and gone is the unnatural thinness: on this specimen the strength is clearly evident in its broad arms and legs. It hide is also darker, highlighting it against the backdrop of the waxing moon. Said to be leaders in groups of trolls the “wasteland giant” roars once again, only this time the noise is briefer, fiercer as it is now focused on you, the intruder of its territory.<br><br>&nbsp; Edit - OOC: Troll will charge you on an initative of 18.

				&nbsp; The troll lumbers forwards. Its movements are slow, but its sheet size and the strength of its thick, muscle bound legs allow it to propel itself forwards vast distances with each step, thus allowing it to easily cover the ground between itself and the intruder pray.<br>&nbsp; It singles out Talneth as its primary target, possibly feeling more threatened by another male regardless of his race, or maybe it is dark leather versus the green felt. For whatever reason the attack hits, a long arm sweeping forwards, the fat palm seeming to slap the elf’s upper body as the clumsy troll reaches too far and misses with its claws. Balancing on two legs and one arm the beast stares at Talneth, its superior height allowing it to attack from nearly seven feet away. The troll snorts, as if challenging the intruders to match its show of strength.<br><br>&nbsp; Talneth<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">You take 12 damage.</div></div>

				Nelynda pulls out her lute and strums a few light chords, sweet and airy, almost ethereal and poignantly beautiful.&nbsp; Tapping her toe, she hardened the tone and increased the beat until the instrument was jarring out a blood-pounding rhythm.&nbsp; Rolling at the hip and twisting at the shoulder as she strummed out the harsh licks and pulsing melody, she let her sensual body go:&nbsp; her feet moving so rapidly they seemed to blur as she danced her way toward the confused troll.<br><br>The heavy, catchy beat took on greater melody when she started to sing, and waves of bone-jarring power washed over her audience of one, inspiring him to greater courage and bolder intent.&nbsp; <br>"Back to black<br>Hit and hack<br>Cut him up - rip and smack..."<br><br>The tune went on as she sang and as she moved, her body twisting, rolling, swaying as the harsh notes and the harsher tune ripped over the starlit sands.&nbsp; Using a dagger as a pick, she strummed out notes obviously too loud to come from the small instrument she carried.&nbsp; But the pounding beat washed over the beach anyway, washing over the lapping waves to the north and reverberating across the grasslands to the south.&nbsp; And, dagger and lute in hand, she danced her way next to the troll, the tiny blade posing small but real threat to the hulking giant.<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">AC/DC - Back In Black (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkkL_aDrIyU#)</div></div>

				Talneth swore in Undercommon, the blow almost knocking him off-balance. But then he heard the music. It was a familiar tune; Nelynda had often been ordered by her mistress to play for House Despana's soldiers during battle. The Drow's black lips stretched into a smile. "Bad decision, stupid beast," he said under his breath, dropping into a low crouch. Then he burst into smooth, graceful motion, leaping into a roll as he drew his blades that brought him face to face with the monster, across from the Elf.<br><br>His smile turned to a grin as his blades burst into flame.<br><br>Talneth unleashed a dizzying flurry of blows with sword and dagger, striking repeatedly at the troll's thighs, knees, and stomach. He attacked with the measured caution of a predator harrying much larger prey before going in for the kill, keeping his blades in somewhat close, while his knees were bent and his weight rested on the balls of his feet, allowing him to quickly dodge away if necessary as his blades rolled through thrust and cut in small circles.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Status: 23 HP, AC 23 (see below)<br><br>Actions:<br>Swift: Initiate Burning Blade (1d6+3 fire damage on attacks)<br>Move: Tumble up in front of the troll, flanking with Nelynda.

				&nbsp; His killing skill augmented by years of training, the instincts of a hunter and the song of death and destruction sang by Nelynda, Talneth dives nimbly into an attacking position. Not a moment is wasted as the drow rises, already bringing his blades into actions as they crisscross the legs at the knee, inner thing and hip, ending with a double slash across the lower stomach. The troll is taken aback by the ferocity, precision and sheer devastation of the attack and enraged by the fire coating the blades.<br>&nbsp; Its wounds begin to close, but the burnt flesh prevents the skin from completely healing over, and this breach of the troll’s defences ignites a primal fear within it. It lashes out at Talneth with both arms, claws extending outwards. The elf ducks under the first but in attempting to sidestep the next receives a deep across his face, missing his eye by an inch, but cutting into his cheek until it feels like the claw has gone right through. The force behind the slash causing his jaw to crack painfully and he is worried it is dislocated: another blow like that could well incapacitate him.<br><br>&nbsp; Talneth<br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">&nbsp; You take 10 damage.</div></div>

				The Drow gritted his teeth against the pain as bright blood ran down the side of his face from the tear in his cheek, staining the side of his goatee red.

				&nbsp; Seeing the damage dealt to Talneth by the troll’s claws, Nelynda switches tactics. She maintains her song of battle, but the task slips into a corner of her mind, the words forming on her lips subconsciously. She now devotes her attention to casting a spell to blunt the creature’s attacks. A yellow strand of arcane energy constricts the dark brown warty skin of the chest and binds one arm completely to its side, partially restricting the second one in addition.<br>&nbsp; Despite this, Talneth takes no chance and launches a furious attack against the troll, stabbing, slashing, carving into its guts until the thick, tough hide falls open and the troll tries to look down, its stout neck preventing it from seeing its own intestines hanging out. Quickly the sand beneath the drow’s feet becomes red, his boosts sinking half an inch into the softened terrain. As the troll topples he manages to dive aside, avoiding been crushed by the giant’s deadweight as it comes crashing down.<br><br>&nbsp; OOC: You each get 1,200 XP.

				Jumping back as the wasteland horror crashed into the sand, Nelynda kept playing for several bars.&nbsp; The sheer devastation the male laid out with his blades was... she had no word for it.&nbsp; "Nice job."&nbsp; She told him as she put up the lute and sheathed her dagger.&nbsp; "You might want to stay out of the way of the claws next time."&nbsp; She advised, her tone perhaps serious, or was there an undercurrent of wry humor there?<br><br>"Anyway, let me look at those wounds."&nbsp; She set about tending to the damage, laying her hands upon the worst of the cuts and forcing them closed with an output of warm, tingling magic.&nbsp; "This thing was no normal troll."&nbsp; She noted as she finished.&nbsp; "He was probably the alpha predator for the area - who knows what travelers he's waylaid over the years?&nbsp; If we track him back to his lair we might find their corpses."&nbsp; And their gear, though she let that fact remain implied.&nbsp; <br><br>Her healing task complete for the moment, she set about searching the monstrous body.

				Talneth let out a long, deep breath, then began a slow pant as he let his focus drop and began to recover. The drow recoiled from her touch at first, wincing slightly as the magic washed over him, but feeling intense relief from the bleeding wounds soon after. Old habits of mistrust ran deep. "Watch your tongue," he warned, but his tone was also ambiguous with a hint of sarcasm. Without a word, he walked over to where the troll stepped into the clearing, searching the darkness for clear signs. "Are you a tracker? Because I am certainly not," he told the surface elf as he hunkered down and made a thorough scan, sheathing his blades.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Search check.

				&nbsp; Nelynda searches the corpse, but finds no possessions at all, valuable or junk. Meanwhile, Talneth moves towards the slopes of the Trollhide Hills, leaving the sparsely placed trees as he tries to trace the route of the wasteland giant. He is very thorough but quickly realizes he does not need to be as the monster’s crushing weight left considerable impressions that not even the hard soil could resist.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>&nbsp; You follows these up the slope, but once you are at the top on more even terrain the tracks becomes more difficult to discern, but the drow’s patience eventually prevails and he follows them down a slight dip into a ravine. The surface elf follows, stopping briefly to view the terrain from this height, seeing clearly the small, secondary island of the pirates, the edge of her former forest in the distance and in front of her the rest of the hills, gradually solidifying into rocky cliffs in the south.<br>&nbsp; The two of you continue down the ravine, the walls of which are steep but not necessarily impossibly to climb. Approaching a bend you are suddenly alerted by a grunt. Talneth edges forwards to pear around and sees two trolls, one of which is approaching them. It seems more curios than hostile, evidently wondering if it really did hear a creature moving.<br><br>&nbsp; OOC: You have 1 round before the troll turns round the bend. You will most likely catch it by surprise, but the other troll will then be alerted. <br>

				&nbsp; The troll cannot even finish its aggressive roar before Nelynda cast her spell, the sparkling gold fleck blinding the monsters and turning its battle cry into one of confusion and fear. No sooner has it ended than Talneth steps forwards. Having already drawn his blades the drow reverse grips them, taking advantage of the troll’s stooped stance to penetrate the tough hide where he judges each lung to be.

				&nbsp; Nelynda presses the attack against the blinded troll, her dagger opening a small wound on the troll’s leg. However, she regrets this as the attack reveals her general direction from the brute. The first sweep of the elongated green limb strike her chest, lacking any strength but confirming her position, for the second clawed arm to rake. The blow is lucky as a single claw catches her across the side of her neck, inflicting a shallow wound that nevertheless oozes blood in a wide flow. Nelynda can only thank her blessings that without the reach of the limbs, the creature’s bite attack misses.<br>&nbsp; Then Talneth pounces forwards, driving the dagger hilt deep into his opponent several times, systematically climbing up the ribs with three puncture wounds.

				&nbsp; A moment of deadly clarity surfaces within the drow assassin head. Normally he can end life swiftly, but this is the mindset of the perfect killer, and right now he can end life almost instantaneously. The dagger severs a major blood vessel towards the top of the inner thigh and with a snap of his arm Talneth sends the short blade ricocheting across to inflict a similar wound on the other side.<br>&nbsp; At the same time his main hand spin in a short rapid circle, the path of the steel hampered only slightly by the inch of troll flesh it meets at the neck. Slanting both weapons towards each other the drow finishes the kill, ramming the dagger upwards through the floating ribs and into one of the two blood orchards most humanoid shaped creatures possess, whilst the short swords is driven downwards, twisting to force the ribs apart and allowing the tip of the blood to sever the first blood vessel just above the heart.<br>&nbsp; Talneth stares at the dead yet still standing troll with a sense a pride and it is only because of the swift nudge from Nelynda that he remembers to step aside as the brute comes crashing down only moments after he retrieved his weapons. Breathing heavily the two elves scan the ravine, noting a large hole in its wall 30ft away that seems just big enough to allow troll entrance.<br><br>&nbsp; OOC: Once again, well done and take 1,200 XP.

				Talneth flicked his blades to his sides before he pulled a cloth from his belt pouch and wiped them down, cleansing the troll ichor from the steel. He shook his head, reminding himself that the surface-dweller meant nothing to him. He didn't care if she lived or died; she was but a tool to serve his ends. He told himself that as he turned to Nelynda, stowing the cloth. "That cave looks like their dwelling," he said matter-of-factly, "I'm gonna go check it out, wait for my signal." He spoke with the tone of a command he expected to be followed.<br><br>The drow crouched to the side of the cave, looking inside before heading in, keeping his eyes peeled as he inched along the wall, using cover when available and keeping his steps silent.

				&nbsp; As the surface elf takes care the troll corpses, sealing them in death through fire, Talneth approaches the cave mouth. Peering round the corner he sees a door of brown bark pierced with iron chunks vaguely resembling spikes at the top and bottom. Behind this door he sees the cave open out into a taller, wider cavern. Worse, he can hear deep snoring from multiple sources. More trolls, at least 4 by the sound of it, but at least none of them are awake, as none were drawn out by the noise of the fight.<br>&nbsp; The drow examines the door, finding it not to be attached to the sides of the tunnel in any way, secured merely by being lent against the smaller opening from the insude. Getting past would be easy, but could he, could they, do it without being heard?

He cursed silently at his moment of clumsiness, hoping it wouldn't awake any of the trolls as he proceeded to search the cave for loot. Finding a few items that may be of worth, including weapons that do not suit him, Talneth took a pair of red, leather boots, and a spiked amulet from the trolls' hoard before slowly making his way back out of the cave.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Move Silently Check: At 2012-02-24 01:13:07, Rhaegar14 (uid: 28142) rolls: 1d20a13 Result: 16 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=35393)</div></div>

				&nbsp; Removing the crude wooden barrier, as door would be far too generous for this troll crafted hunk of wood, Talneth enters the earthen cave. The normal smells of predators one would expect is suppressed, its place taken by the heavy, but not overpowering scent of troll sweat in air made hot from so many large bodies sleeping in an enclosed space. This odour is by no means pleasant, but it could easily be worse, and strangely enough it reminds the drow of the perfume certain priestesses would wear. Not exactly the same, but there is a resemblance, so maybe he had stumbled upon a key ingredient?<br>&nbsp; Then he kicked the rock and immediately freezes, muscles tense and ready to bolt for the exit. Every stirring of a sleeping green forms seems to be them awakening, but he counts to five and it never happens, so he continues making sure to avoid any further rocks as picks up an amulet and pair of leather boot, before returning to the noticeably worried surface elf.<br>&nbsp; As soon as he approaches her she leans in close, but even her swift whisper of “Let’s g-,“ is interrupted by a ferocious roar that chills your blood. Because you remember that sound, it was the battle cry of the troll alpha you killed, and it is close. Close enough that a moment later you hear the crashing of heavy footsteps as it charges down the ravine towards you, past its fallen pack mates. “But we killed it. You burn it,” Nelynda shakes her head, then realizing the danger turns to run as the trolls within the lair stir in response to their leader’s call.
