Game summary for August 29, 2013, Carrion Crown Adventure Path campaign, Trial of the Beast adventure; PCs included Gnok Thatek (dwarf monk), and Irnadette Steelsoul (elan psion), accompanied by NPC companion Heidi Loenhardt (human cleric).
The party squared off against the charge trollhounds, and Gnok discovered they were healing from their injuries quickly. He beat them unconscious while Irnadette burned them with psionically conjured fire. They then ignited torches and killed both beasts with a coup de grace. They then opened the gate doors to find three goblins and two trolls trying to hold another gate closed while something pounded upon it from the other side.
The creatures spun around, and one of the trolls snatched up a goblin and hurled it at Gnok as hard as it could. It smashed painfully into him hard enough to bruise his ribs and snap the neck of the goblin! Another goblin charged forward and was killed by Gnok in moments. A colossal battle ensued with psionic flames ripping through the room, tiger style kung-fu, and heavy crossbow bolts flying. One troll and the last goblin went down as the gate burst asunder to reveal another flesh golem hound! The troll and hound squared off, but the hound soon ripped the troll to pieces.
Irnadette slowed the hound with psionic fire and lured it out the front gate. The team tried to slip past, and Heidi was gravely injured while dodging crossbow bolts from a troll that appeared up in a tower! As Gnok slammed the gate closed, Heidi channeled positive energy and healed the team. As the flesh golem hound began slamming into the gate, they could hear creatures moving around up overhead as well.
