Trolls.

After the fight with the Cthulhu Troll, we retreated to the observatory to recover. Ermanguard was still there and unconscious. We rested but at the end of the long rest, a troll came up the stairs. This one had a frost breath weapon. It struck me that there was supposed to be a white dragon in the area. I am sure they did not mistake this guy for that. Anyway, we chopped him down and the dwarves drug him over and tossed him into the tentacle area. Sure enough, the tentacles showed up to grab him. Oh, and the air elemental showed back up. The troll avoided the tentacles, but provoked the air elemental to do a whirlwind attack which knocked Dash across the room. It also knocked out the troll. Murland whipped out a bunch of fire to kill that troll dead. Then we fought the air elemental a second time. This time we finished it off. (Last time it escaped with a few hit points.) We did a short rest and set to exploring.
 
Roughly a dozen humans were making a delivery from the elevator to the ice door of this complex. While we debated possible courses of action, they finished their work and left. Hopefully, we will deal with them at a later date.
 
We checked all the rooms we had been in so far and saw about what we might expect. The troll we fought in the observatory had been through but not much else. Off the room with the Cthulhu troll there were some caves. We searched out this new territory. In a larger cavern was a pit that just needed a ‘monsters here’ sign. We scoped out the surrounding space and had Murland poke the pit with a lit torch. Sure enough, the creepiest tentacle monsters you have ever heard of popped up and attacked. All red tentacles and mouths. If I could draw, I am sure everyone who saw would be disturbed. Other than them spitting a light bomb that blinded a couple of us, they were easy enough to kill. We pulled a little loot from their pit and went on to the next area.
 
We found a very large cave. It had a few statues around. And two trolls. Luckily, only one attacked while the other ran off. The one that attacked was another with the frost breath weapon. That really messed us up. Still, we took the thing down in short order and laid on the fire until it was ash. Our problem from this is that we are quickly running low on torches. I have two left. I think Dash has a couple. I think Tuath has 10. We did some fresh aid. It is, just like at the end of my previous entry, time for us to go rest and recover.
