Dealing with Trolls The Zbat Cave Month 3, Week 4, Day 2 Early Afternoon You take but a moment to contemplate her offers, before you retaliate with one of your own. You wish for two questions instead of four, and in lieu of those two questions a guide to a breeding pair of Zbats instead of a guide to all of them in general.  “You would decline the riches offered here and now, for but a chance to earn some more, later? You spurn immediate wealth, and in its stead seek answers? Truly you have embraced the essence of greed; to go beyond base satisfaction. I approve. For it is never enough and always our desire continues. T̝̣̟̫̓̍ͭͮ͗͢ͅh̨̲̙̹͕̻̺͊͛͐̏̉ͤ̽͡ę̏̿̂͋͊͗ͯ͢҉͔̺̦ ̲̟̲ͪ͜͡B̵͎̤̠̯͇͕̝ͤͧͥ̍ͫͣ͆͟a͋͛̓ͩ҉̜̗͔͍̫̱͇̩r̶̺̖̜͓̬͈̫͇̻͛̿͢g̹̫̦͉̩̭̪̻̓͗ͨ̈̆ͨͩͤa̞͎̹̘̱̗̭ͨ̕ͅi̯̱̳̤̰̱̦̾̐̐n̅͌̀ͧͨͪ̈͘͏͉̩ ̡͚͕͑̌̕I̵̹͍̦̗̼͋̐͌͌̕͟ş̎̔ͨ̽ͤ̏͏̦̟ ̡̝͚̲͍̹̤͇̙̃̌̒͑̔̎̆̆̐S̷̡̨̬̞͔͎̠̰̼̖̲̎͗͆͗̓̂͌̚t̵̫̺̫̠̠͙͓͔̊̀̋͑̎r͍͚̤̫̻̖͈̪͚͋ͬͦ̕uͫ͂̓̈́̂͋͏̲̥͜c͙̜̼ͯͨͥ̑ͮ̉̎͘͜ḵ̩̤͉̩͌͊̎͛̎ͪ̈́.̥͇̟̺̳̹͐ͩͬ̆ͫ̇͜ A force unlike anything you have experienced envelops you, fills your world with blinding, golden light. You open your eyes past the strain and through sepia-toned void catch a glimpse of Power beyond reckoning. A gaping maw of primal lust, forever yearning to earn, own and consume. Golden threads pull at you and all that you are, bending even the firmament around you into the darkness at its core in a never-ending strain of desire.  A thin, blue cord coming from within you and attached to yourself is all that keeps you from falling into oblivion. It is frayed. It is torn and damaged but it has been tied up haphazardly, and that is enough. The thin blue cord, in all its meekness compared to the vast entity that towers above you is infinitely stronger. It will protect you. As soon as it begins the vision fades, the golden light washes over you and a voice as warm and comforting as the grave informs you that:  You come to your senses. The items you had placed on your make-shift altar is gone, and in their place lies a strange metal container. Something within shakes when rattled and you instinctively know that you are to give the contents to the monstrous dog when you next encounter it, and that it will not interfere in the coming battle.  You squeeze your thumb against your index- and middle- finger, a holy sign of Quackinite devotion, and give a small courteous nod to the air roughly above your shrine and turn to your compatriots, readying yourself for what is next. Still shaken by the magnitude of your encounter. –  --- [Battlefield Primer] The dark gray, broken hexes, represent the structure of the cave and are impassable without the use heavy explosives or mining picks and a lot of hard labour. The dark brown, jagged hexes represent thick fields of stalgmites. Passing through them takes up all movement for the turn. Being passed through them or onto them forcibly, weather you are thrown or pushed, deals damage to the recipient. If an action is taken to hide within, they will act as light cover, providing a small bonus to defence. The light brown, gray-white-speckled hexes are dirty cave floor filled with guano. They impede movement only slightly but make certain types of acrobatics much harder to accomplish and muffle footsteps to some degree. The black, white-speckled hexes represent unknown territory that is in all probability still guano filled, with all what that entails. --- [Reach primer] All ITEC fighters have a reach of Meleé unless otherwise noted. This means they can attack an enemy in situated in the adjacent hex-ring. A wooden spear has a reach of 1, meaning it can attack enemies in the hexes adjacent as well as the ones in the ring beyond that. A sling has a range that is dependent on user skill (of which your companions have nearly nil) and dexterity, (which is highly variable amongst those present). You can expect most of ITEC to be able to reliably hit a target between 1 and 3 hexes away, with accuracy dropping of exponentially after that, even though they could probably throw the stones up to 6 hexes out if pressed. A bandit-quality repeating crossbow has an accurate range of 4 hexes, but can shoot further at a penalty increasing with distance and can fire twice in one round. Skvababts longbow can reliably hit anywhere on the battlemap. Trolls hate innate reach 1 with their meleé attacks due to their long arms and can presumably hit anywhere they want with a thrown boulder. --- [ITEC Pre-Battle Summary] Overall morale is high on recent victories and weary of bats. You are lightly injured, having suffered through many bat-claws and bat-teeth. You are lightly fatigued. You fight with a dwarven battle-axe and shield. You are unarmoured. You are covered in gore. Kvelar: is lightly injured. He is lightly fatigued. He Fights with an Heirloom master-crafted dwarven battle-axe and shield. He is unarmoured. He is covered in gore. Abigail: Has a scraped knee. She is lightly fatigued.. She fights. Sometimes with a wooden quarterstaff. Sometimes with a greatsword. She has a bandit-quality repeating crossbow. She has a quiver of Salmonster-Teeth arrows. She is unarmoured. She is covered in gore. Tommy: Is thoroughly scratched and has a minor shoulder injury. He is lightly fatigued. He fights with a great club, but has a sling as well. He has decent quality leather armour that has seen better days. He is covered in gore. Konnie: His ear has been nibbled. He is lightly fatigued. He dual-wields fine quality daggers. He wears Bog-Standard Military Surplus Leather Armour. He has a bandit-quality repeating crossbow and a quiver of Salmonster-Teeth arrows. He is covered in gore. Khami: He has been lightly injured. He is lightly fatigued. He wears chain mail under his torn robes. He fights with expertly crafted iron chains. He is covered in gore. Johakim: He is freshly scarred. He is lightly fatigued. He prefers not to fight. He has decent quality leather armour. He is covered in gore. Skvababt: Is battered and bruised. She is lightly fatigued. She fights with a wooden longbow. She wears “leather” armour that you assume she maintains herself. It is missing an arm. She has a quiver of Salmonster-teeth arrows. She is covered in gore. There are two large forest-trolls in the distance, but they have not yet noticed you. --- [ITEC Notable Items and Inventory that you might have conceivably brought with you] 03 x Flasks of highly pressurized acid 05 x Ethereal RimRose Cupcakes 01 x Pouches of Flash-Heat-Powder 01 x Large Bags of Flash-Heat-Powder 01 x Crate full of Ultra-Bright Torches. 01 x ???

Your supplies are Superb. – Conferring a variety of minor bonuses to adventuring. Your equipment is in great shape. - Conferring a variety of minor bonuses to monster hunting activities. If you have need of it, and it is an object readily available for adventurers of no substantial value, it can safely be assumed that you have it with you should you so desire. Examples include nets, lanterns, rope, grappling hooks etc. You may trade in one "tier" of equipment status for a substantial bonus to a task, representing a piece of highly specialized equipment bought for that purpose. The bonus depends on the tier(s) lost and the object(s) obtained. –  With patience and skill, you have snook upon the Trolls and prepared an ambush. You may place the ITEC recruits present (Tommy, Konnie, Johakim, Khami, Yourself and Kvelar) on any non-impassible hex on the battlefield within hexes H1/V1 to H8/V8 and P9/V9 to P11/V11. 1: The battle will begin at your mark. How do you wish to proceed? A: Plan Kvelar Spread out, hide melée combatants in the southern middle stalagmite fields and the archers in the southwest corner fold of the cave – When the trolls run into to smash the archers the meleé people attack from behind. Good initial shock, low chances of detection. B: Plan Tommy Hide the Meleé people in the stalagmite fields on opposite sides of the funnel to the southwest corner fold and have the archers engage in a fighting retreat to the narrower parts of the cave south of you. When the trolls pass, they will be instantly flanked and the archers can pepper them at their leisure. Great initial shock, medium chance of detection. C: Plan Skvababt Hide archers in the southern middle stalagmite field and someone else wielding a pouch of flash-heat-powder in the northernmost middle stalagmite field. The archers fire a volley of arrows which is then followed by the powder that is ignited with an ultra-bright torch. The resulting explosion should stun the trolls, letting the meleé combatants rush in to finish the job before the trolls retaliate. Substantial shock, high risk, use of limited resources. Skvababt will suffer heavy penalties to hit after the first volley, but she is betting on that more will not be needed. D: Something Else? Write-in. -- Party thoughts: Konnie: “Hit them hard and fast, then book it before they retaliate. We can't stand up to them in a straight fight." Kvelar: “An ambush is our best shot at this, we play it by the book. Using powders or acids brings to many unknowns into this already difficult equation." Johakim: “Attack them at range or not at all. Use traps but sparingly, if the acid misses or doesn't kill them we will have even bigger problems on our hands. Do not engage in meleé. I cannot stitch together pulp." Abigail: Unavailable for comment (playing with a good dog) Khami: “Size brings both great benefit and hardship." Skvababt: “Oh yes, Mr. Ironscript. Konnie has the right of it. We should do them hard and fast, leaving them broken, dazed and confused. Only then do we end them. Mhm. It will be magnificent. Tommy: “Explosives might damage us as well as them, use them only as a last ditch effort. They may be large, but aside from that boulder they appear unarmed. Flanking them should do most of the work." Owlbear Cubs: “Hoot, hoot!" (Bring us food!)

D take positions as in B, but set a trap in the funnel using the pouch of flash heat powder and rush in after it was detonated with a torch. How explosive is the powder, would that endanger our melée fighters?

So the plan can be as follow: 1) C to blast all the max archer advantage at them 2) Run back to trap hole/mini bomb if they are still tough enough to retailate the melee 3) Flash z-bat at them to make them miss a lot and club them to death

C: Plan Skvababt Also, once the flash powder ignites, the melee fighters are to throw one acid vial at each troll. Depending on the Troll's reaction (i.e., if they're too shocked to react), follow-on with the third acid vial to the large Troll, then hack them down to bits.
