Vherzazi; Huh? How tough? What are they known for?
Trolls: In the city? How common is that? Is it unique to Seilen or Should I be used to it by now?
Is it legal for them to be taking away this man?
Guys; I'd rather not charge two trolls, you know. Especially without a lot of alchemical fire. Mal's natural impulse is to shrug off the incident and move on the Gilded Gargoyle. If you all go crusader on Mal, he'll not let you down however. Especially not Yulanesca; he's commited to escorting her.
If push come to shove, I
think we could free the man. The plan I have in mind would involve mostly the following step:
- I pepper the trolls with arrows until they (and hopefully a few dogmen) charge me.
- You ''hide'' in the crowd. Basically you stay put and act like you don't know me.
- When the trolls are near me, I scream like a little girl and run away as fast as I can (with my boots of striding and jumping).
- The rest of the PCs swoop in, dispatch the remaining Verzhazi and free the man. Then they scream like little girls and run away before the trolls come back.
It's still very risky and frankly, I'd recommend any goody two shoes to ease their conscience by reconforting the wife instead. Metagaming wise, I don't think the DM expects us to fight 2 trolls + troops given our current situation (party scattered, unprepared for trolls).
I
Especially recommend to let them go if it turns out that it's perfectly legal for those Dogmen to take that man away. Otherwise we'd be outlaws 10 minutes after getting in the city! I know that I'm Chaotic Neutral, but that would still be something of an exploit.
