Unfortunately, the creature you're facing now is not the same creature you had euthanized so many days ago... and when you thrust your blade home to silence it once again, you find the point of your blade deflected by hard green scales. Sparks fly... but your blade skitters harmlessly off of the creature's flesh.<br/><br/>And the creature takes advantage of this, charging forward with its skull grinding across the dirt. No teeth, no claws... just pure, primal rage, forcing you back against a nearby tree-trunk. One moment, you're standing on pure ground... the next, you feel rough, craggy bark driving into the small of your back, pinning you in place while the creature snorts and snuffs and tosses its head, attempting to keep you from fleeing any further.<br/><br/>Unfortunately for the creature, though, pinning you against the tree also means that it can't get away... and you're able to raise your blade high once more, and bring it crashing down into the back of the creature's skull with a vengeance. One last defiant roar, and a clap of thunder...<br/><br/>And you're standing on the grass in front of Togali's tower, with the old dwelf looking at you expectantly.<br/><br/>"Well?"
