The company continues it exploration of the perimeter... and soon locates yet another means of egress -- a third great way to the east. This broad passage neither descends nor ascends, but continues at the present elevation. Vague echoes of distant clangs are scarcely audible only to the Elves nearest.

(1d6=2)

Before any considers going further, there comes a throaty snarl from much closer at hand, and all present are immediately aware of several pairs of eyes, glinting back reflections of Vestri and Hepti's torches from the great dark of the central part of the West Hall -- perhaps 10 or 20ft beyond the reach of your light.

There comes a racket of heavy clubbed feet as the Trolls charge from the shadows to the attack once more!

Neither party is surprised.

What are your intentions for the coming melee round?

Elindir nocks his bow and readies to shoot as soon as the trolls come into plain view. If his fellows charge the beasts before a the darkness clears to trolls approach, the half-elf will instead draw sword and fallow them into battle.

Eremin Sulk, the sneak, will hide in whatever convenient place presents itself. If he has an opportunity to stick it to one of the trolls from behind (i.e.; with minimum risk to himself), he'll take it.

But he won't risk his life meaninglessly; that's what all the soldier types are here for.

Lmluin Lets fly an arrow at Troll Number 2, snapping a clipped order in Sindarin for Telthalion to do the same. They will both then fall back, allowing the fighters to melee with the monsters, continuing to fire whenever a clear shot is to be had.

Lady Â‰ohild will enter the battle. When in range she will throw her spear at a troll in hopes to pin the creature to the ground then along side the others joining her in the attack, together hack it to pieces with her sword using shield to protect herself.
"Barald come back me up", she orders her mercenary.

"Come on all", she shouts, "this is what we come for, lets fight to free Moria".

Sili charges into battle side-by-side with Norin, hoping to prevent Troll #1 from advancing further toward the party. "Eat flail, spider kisser!" he shouts in a language only the Dwarfs can understand.
