Furious Throw ⟲ Trigger The cavern troll takes acid or sonic damage

Effect The troll uses Throw Rock targeting a random enemy within their first range increment. If the cavern troll has persistent acid damage, they attempt a DC 15 Flat to remove it.

Sunlight Petrification If exposed to direct sunlight, a cavern troll immediately becomes Slowed 1 and can't use reactions. The slowed value increases by 1 each time the cavern troll ends its turn in sunlight. If the cavern troll's actions are reduced to 0 in this way, they become Petrified until they spends at least 1 minute in darkness. Spells like Sunburst that create magical sunlight can't petrify a cavern troll, but the troll is slowed 1 for 1d4 rounds after being exposed to such an effect.
