You and your allies continued to chip away at the stone above you, causing rubble and scraps to fall down from the ceiling. Though try as he might, Buddy was just having no luck getting his javelins to strike the stone; either he didn't throw them with enough strength, or even if he did, they ended up clattering against the stone above and failing to do any damage. He was lucky the javelins didn't simply fall back onto him. With a combination of Pylia's scared flames, Shortfang's heavy crossbow bolts, and your sun bolts, you were able to do a considerably amount of damage. Pylia raises her hand to signal for everyone. "I think that's good enough! I'll shoot another flame bolt at it when we get the trogs here, if we do this too early they might turn around."

And as if Pylia's warning summoned them, you could see the first of the trogs just rounding the corner. "They come! Behind dirt wall!" Shortfang shouted out as he dove behind the makeshift walls. They were little more than large mounds of dirt that you'll need to kneel behind to get full cover for, but they would have to do for barriers. It was at least big enough to provide half cover for you and Pylia, though Shortfang was small enough to hide behind a considerably smaller one that only Buddy could barely fit behind. The trogs could easily see you up ahead and screamed their vicious warcry, getting ready to attack. They didn't charge immediately however; it seemed like their shouting was some sort of signal or message, and before long a distant echo shouted another bestial scream back.

Next to you, Pylia was breathing heavily. She was scared. But she was trying to look strong. "Alright... Here we go!"
