Trolling the Troll

Heading back to Kelmarane, the hearty adventurers encounter a troll on the mountain pass.  Billy fires a warning shot into the troll.  Forming up quickly, the party deals a good bit of damage before Lars dumps the troll into a pit.  Most of the party, takes Lars suggestion to run ahead and leave the troll in the pit.  Billy secretly lobbed a few vials of lamp oil with an alchemists fire primer.  Only Luce noticed Billy's not-so-innocent smirk and the persistent smoldering of troll in the mountain air.

The party returns to Kelmarane for a bit of rest and relaxation.  Selling of the loot becomes a bit more problematic, but Uncle Tolo says he has a contact that can move the items.  Even 100 poisoned arrows can be gobbled up by the markets in Katapesh.

Returning to the House of the Beast, the party takes out the two carrion guards back on patrol in the courtyard.  Heading for the main dome, the party enters the structure and bushwhacks the gnoll guards with an elaborate door/pit/illusion tactic.  As a result the gnolls tumble down into the pit, one and all.

On the other side of the hall, behind the double doors, the biggest scorpion that the party has ever seen.  The pit provides some cover for the party, but Luce eventually get snatch up.  Steady fire from Billy and stabbings from Kushii, weaken the scorpion.  Luce gets a couple of blows in before the beasts collapses.
