Erastus 12th 02 - Hey! Who would have thought that our army is actually pretty damn Good!

The group arrive back into the city with no hassle.

As the group started to dismount and stable their steeds (though Miro’s riding dog had a kennel in the loosest sense of the word), an messenger raced to the group, insisting that an urgent council meeting was about to be held!

Once the council had assembled with travel worn and smelling adventurers present, the council explained to the group that shortly before they had returned, a guard had arrived from the west of the capital with a message, reporting that approximately 24 trolls has attacked a small number of farmsteads just 30 miles away.

The meeting resulted in Miro being ordered to muster his militia and to equip them as best as possible with ranged and flaming weapons.

After a couple of hours of manic preparations, Miro finally marched out of the city with the militia and headed West, leaving a small division of fighters to protect the city from any other unforeseen forces.

Miro's militia met the troll brigade upon an open field of grass not too far from a wrecked farmstead.  As a light breeze begins to ease, Miro orders for his ranged weapons to fire at the trolls as the hulking creatures began their charge across the battlefield towards the Wyvernshore folk.

The result of the arrow fodder took all of the group and the entire Wyvernshore militia by complete surprise (except from Miro, apparently, who had no doubt that his plan would decimate the enemy) as they took out all but one of the 24 trolls.

The one remaining injured troll whom was completely unaware that he was now charging into a fight with a militia on his own bravely continued his charge as the group stepped forward to meet the troll head on in front of the entire front line.

Introducing.......“Frondog the cowardly troll”.  [Ed: I dunno why considering he charged alone but ask the GM][GM: Because the Troll knew he was as good as dead if he returned empty handed to his Troll King and so decided to try and kill the leaders of Wyvernshore - they're not the brightest of creatures... excluding the Troll King, but more on him later]

Vaneer throws an alchemist fire at the troll and hits. 

Kyrander draws to arrows and fires one after the after and hits twice.

Frondog swings his giant club at Miro but misses.

Otto casts a haste spell on the group.

Miro tries to faint the troll to thinking the half-pint was going to attack from the left but fails to trick the troll but somehow he still manages to hit.

Natalia attacks and hits the troll.

Bob flanks the troll biting and clawing the troll around the ankles.

Vaneer casts searing light, killing the troll.

A roar erupts from the fighting men as Frondog falls to the ground devoid of life.  Soon after, every able bodied man is doing their best to set each of the troll corpses alight to prevent the creatures from healing their own wounds and returning to fight another day.

Once all the trolls had been burnt Miro turned his militia round and marched them home with the promise of ale and bonus coin for their well earned efforts.
