You get the feeling that this is not how you wanted this situation to go. "Stupid trolls," you think to yourself. Although you could barely count yourself, you were pretty sure the scroll meant for you to bring back one really big thing and not half a dozen. Not wanting to turn back just because there were too many, you move closer and start shouting obscenities at the trolls untill they look at you. For long moments, they just look at you stupidly. Suddenly, with a look resembling comprehension, the first troll grunts loudly, rubs the back of his head, and then points at you.
The trolls charge. You turn to run in the direction you think will get you to human settlement, the trolls hot on your heels. You run untill you start to see a large tower rising above the treeline, then then you run faster. Crashing sounds follow in your wake.
As you near the tower, you notice something that could pose a problem. Water. Lots of water blocking your path. On a normal basis, you'd look for a way around this water, but a six trolls chasing you is not ordinary, and you dive off into the water.
Your persuers stop at the waterline for a moment, only after shoving the smallest of them into the water to make sure it is shallow enough, do they follow. As you reach the opposite shore of the river, you start to hear frenzied shouting. High Seas Company security personel were scrambling to organize the defense of the place. Some were outside creating a shield between the trolls and the merchants who were scrambling to get inside the tower. Meanwhile others were standing on the roof of the tower firing arrows down at the trolls as they made their way across the river.
Oddly they do not seem to be concerned with you, the guards do not chase you and the archers do not fire at you. Upon noticing the humans, the trolls forget you entirely. The guards close ranks and steadily retreat toward the keep doors as the merchants filed in. The trolls manage to force one of the men away from the group and then another. These fights last only a matter of minutes before the lone humans are overwhelmed.
Someone on the roof shouted "clear!" indicating that all of the merchants were inside, the remaining ten guards immediately break for the doors closing the latch behind them. The trolls are then mercilessly given volley after volley of arrow fire.
What do you want to do?
Decide to scram before the archers remember you
Wonder if this is what Grootag had in mind as you flee
