His killing skill augmented by years of training, the instincts of a hunter and the song of death and destruction sang by Nelynda, Talneth dives nimbly into an attacking position. Not a moment is wasted as the drow rises, already bringing his blades into actions as they crisscross the legs at the knee, inner thing and hip, ending with a double slash across the lower stomach. The troll is taken aback by the ferocity, precision and sheer devastation of the attack and enraged by the fire coating the blades.<br/>Its wounds begin to close, but the burnt flesh prevents the skin from completely healing over, and this breach of the troll’s defences ignites a primal fear within it. It lashes out at Talneth with both arms, claws extending outwards. The elf ducks under the first but in attempting to sidestep the next receives a deep across his face, missing his eye by an inch, but cutting into his cheek until it feels like the claw has gone right through. The force behind the slash causing his jaw to crack painfully and he is worried it is dislocated: another blow like that could well incapacitate him.<br/><br/>Talneth<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">  You take 10 damage.</div></div>
