Initiative is rolled (1d6; Norin=1; Sili=6; Trolls=4).
The Dwarves suddenly turn on their heels and mount a counter attack against the pursuing Trolls upon their forefathers' stair. The Trolls cannot stop their harrowing descent as nimbly as the Dwarves, however, and barge into them at pace.
Sili is swiftest and (still grasping the crossbow in his other mitt) strikes first with his burning torch (1d20=17) punching it fiercely into the scaly belly of the nearest Troll for (1dd=2) 4 hit points as it crashes past him, aiming a lashing claw at his head (1d20=8) but missing wildly.
The second Troll is barrelling into Norin before he knows it (1d20=5) but by instinct he turns its heavy fist aside upon his armoured chest and uses the momentum to fuel his hammer blow (1d20=5) but he can only split ancient flagstone in the tumult.
The Elves too turn about, some 60ft farther down the stair, with bowstrings taught and pointed arrows flicking here and there seeking for a safe target --
(Elves; you may fire into the melee this round if you wish. Odd numbered attack rolls will be randomly targeted between appropriate candidates).
