Full Report
The group met to find and end a frost troll which managed to kill an adventurer during a mission, with the intent of making a BBQ out of the creature. I must say, the irony of it all does not go over me, but I question my companions eagerness. We spent the first day traveling to the area where the troll was first seen. We reached the second location the next day, but found no tracks to follow. However, we determinded that the best place to find them would be at Nested Point, a mountain to the west, instead of the Kobold stronghold of Dragonscale Peak. During the journey there, I managed to convince some birds to speak with me, a friendly enough blue bird, which remembered feeling chilling winds come from a cave on the eastern side of the mountain base, which should not be the case this time of year.
As we followed the trail told to us we came across the remains of eaten creatures, the skeletal remains of farm animals, wildlife and humanoids. These remains lead us in the right direction towards the cave entrance, which we came to the conclusion that a family of trolls nested here. We formulated a plan, and Shirkad snuck in to draw out whatever might be inside so we could ambush at the entrance. Inside, he found was infested with undead, zombies and a wight. He was able to bring out some and we ended them, so we entered the cave and came into battle with the rest of these undead creatures. The wight was able to sneak up behind us, but we were able to end the belighted creatures existence alongside the rest of its kind.
As we continued on, we came across 3 statues that looked like trolls, we did not believe them to be actual statues and Swampy decided to leave an explosive present for them. They did not stay statues for long, because we hear screams of pain and we found out that it was actually an ice elemental, an Ice Golem. It put up quite the fight, as its breathe attack was very effective on some of us. But with time, we were able to put it down, the only thing we did not expect was the massive explosion it had in store for us as well. The ice shards hurt us, well, most of us, as Shirkad decided to eat a shard instead.
After healing ourselves, we made our way into the depths of where the chilling wind was strongest, and we found our targets. 2 Frost Trolls and a larger Elite Frost Troll. The team worked well together, and a fireball helped as well, but we were able to put down the trolls and stop them from regenerating. My more, eager companions, recalled with their meaty prize, while I stayed to search the cave. I found the remains of a warrior, who seemed to have come here by themselves to fight the trolls. I have decided to bring them back and bury them in the graveyard of First Landing. No one deserves to be left in this cold alone.
