GM: Ack. I did explain the window stuff. Cabin is
wooden and the windows are wooden as well. Front/Back Windows are
slightly different. Those details given to Gilbert. Front no one was
interested so did explain the details as Jaren took a look. Front
window is 2 wooden slats. Entire window is maybe 2.5' x 2.5' feet from
window frame to frame. Slats in front open outward. So both
slats are maybe 1.25 foot or so each. Between is a groove that
opens up when widened. Jaren learned by trying to open it that it seems
to be locked from inside. Possibly a metal bar across back of slats and a
locking pin. You could break the slats if hard enough blows.
But it may take a few seconds. Back window is slightly larger maybe
4'x4' but Mournath is dealing with it. So speech is about 27
seconds if I did it right. Based on how fast I speak. That's
2 rounds. Plus movement will be a 3rd so no action done for 4
rounds. Which is about 48 seconds. Giving the troll now
almost 3 minutes to ready.

Up front Varo motions to move south so they can whisper.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Varo signals vigorously - that they move silently away
from the door to the end corner by the fireplace where they might be able
to whisper without being seen or heard. The trolls inside have had time
to booby-trap the girl inside & they need to see what they can
first.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The trolls have had time to booby-trap the girl. We need to
look inside the windows & see where the girl is & the trolls,
she whispers urgently. If we just burst in, she could be killed before
any of us got inside. Is there another window? Has anyone looked inside
yet? We need a plan. It would be nice if we could at least target the two
trolls before we hit the door. Are the windows glass or something we can
burst through?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
She also apologizes. If someone else can do healing, that
would be good. I've used nearly half my magic. But I'll help out if
needed, with healing. I also confess I do not want to be first through
the door; I'd rather shoot my javelin through a window, but it could go
wild hitting something too hard to pass through. I'd be glad to enter
through a window & head toward the girl.

<x-tab> </x-tab>
As Varo spoke the 30 seconds or so Jaren tried to open the
window with a dagger but it seems to be locked securely from
inside. He gives up and turns to the others.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Jaren shrugs, won't open.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Jaren ticks the time in his head almost 3 minutes since here
on scene. Having a sister probably the kids age he gets upset
waiting. The others do not seem to form any idea of plan.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Giving up he turns and motions for the group to the
door. Raising his sword and backing slightly to the right/north of
the door to avoid any missiles he kicks the door in before the others
react. He backs away and glances around the threshold. Those
around the door also glance inside the dim cabin.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Meanwhile at the rear the last 30 seconds or so Mournth is
able to get his window open but only a crack. It allows him to see
to the south/right but not left as it cracks open that way. He
spots the insides and the girl. Placing dagger on belt he opens the
window just big enough for a arrow. He then casts a spell to
improve his chances.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
He takes careful aim at the girl.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
For those looking inside it looks like two small probably
bedrooms on the north side. Between them a front of a possible
chest can be seen for clothes probably. In north area of main room
is a table with 4 chairs for a family. Table is wooden and chairs
are wooden and wicker. On west side are more comfy chairs with
cushions and a couch on south wall that can fit 3 or 4 people with nice
cushions and pillows.
The fireplace is not active but shows sign it was last night or
so. Trash and food is strewn all over where they ate and did not
care to clean up. Those who see inside are amazed to see 3 trolls
not 2 that Varo reported. But maybe the leader by the girl may not
display hostile to the party and thus the spell would not detect an enemy
maybe he feels he is superior or confident?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
All 3 trolls are heavy armed with club/spikes wrapped in
wire. All 3 are wearing heavy armor and helms. Those who see
the girl see her about 14/15 and naked. Bits of clothes and ripped
clothes is also all over the floor.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The girl herself is right in from fo fireplace danging
upside down with butt to west and head to east. Her legs and wrists
are tied together and she is tied with both of those ropes to a single
rope that dangles on a road. Two poles with a pole on top that
clearly is used to hold a cauldron or cooking pots over the fire.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
In the rear Mournath is slightly off angle not directly
behind the girl but at a slight angle to her. He has been waiting
for 30 seconds aiming at her and waiting for the part to finally do
something. When Jaren kicks in the door and he fires his composite
bow.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The magically enhanced arrow flies toward the girl.
She has been squirming lightly having probably given up hope hours
ago. This helps in his enhanced aimed careful shot. The arrow
hits the rope above the girl not the girl herself. It slices with
extra damage by the magic. The rope and its weight of the girl
probably over 100 pounds starts to unravel.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Those who see inside can the the troll by the girl grunt and
speak something in troll. His hand moves away from the girls
general direction and grabs something from is leather vest. A
purple liquid of some kind. He drinks the liquid and his lips become
purple as he throws the glass tube away.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The other 2 troll raise clubs ready to move to the door.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
All 3 seem to be unaware of Mournath.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Though there was a 'whoosh' from the arrow the door being
kicked and slamming against the wall covered that up.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Suddenly the rope lets go having uncoiled its wrapped layers
and she drops. She looks up and sees the troll smacking his lips
but seems to not notice her. She starts to crawl to the west side
of cabin and works at her arm ropes to free herself.
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM:
Actions? Comments?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Next update?....Sat or Wed.
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM: A
quick update. Plan your actions. Folks can enter as they
wish. Firing stuff inside from door might be awkward if others rush
in front of the line of fire. Mournath has no risk there. A
small map is below. Will do update Sat or Wed depending on actions
posted. If need to heal I can do that retroactively in the 4
rounds.
