Never Underestimate the Rogue, or Why Trolls Are Adventurer Fodder

Be me, Kobold Sorceror

Party decides to go troll hunting so we can give their blood away

Reach lair, two of the party decide to head back

This includes our cavalier, who undisputably is the strongest member of the party

Party now consists of me, the elf wizard, the human shaman, and the elf rogue

None of these trolls are particularly strong

Despite being a scrawny kobold I have respectable martial prowess

Laugh as trolls are unable to pierce 24 AC while I coat them in acid

Spot a cave and descend into it

Kill more trolls, only to be charged by what can aptly be described as a troll ettin

I almost immediately get killed by the troll, get put to 3 from 52

Bro rogue pulls me out and Shaman pulls out trump card, black tentacles.

Thank you based lore spirit

Troll is unable to reach us as we pepper him with various fire and acid spells

Rogue drops rapier and shortsword, starts plinking with longbow

This would turn out to be a poor decision, as immediately after troll ettin goes down, another big troll yells

Party tactically retreats all the way back to camp

Go back next day, rogue's melee weapons not where we left them

Rogue has to rely on shitty longbow and sneaking to put out real damage

Find big troll, wizard tells us weapons are in the chest behind him

Fuck it, we fight without the rapier then

Troll calls another big troll and two regular trolls

Should not have gone fuck it

Me and an aurochs the wizard summons take on big meanie and the goons that showed up

Rogue, Wizard, and Shaman take on original big troll.

Rogue does nothing with longbow, and wizard is rolling poorly on damage

Rogue pulls out two arrows and starts shanking the shit out of the troll with them

Troll goes down incredibly easy

Rogue comes over and puts down the three others too

Rogue gets weapons back

Vow to never piss him off
