It seems that in your turning to get away, you threw off your own accuracy for your counterattack against the strange creature... but your second strike is true, and you bury the tip of your wooden blade deep into the creature's shoulder, eliciting a roar of pain that shakes the walls.<br/><br/>And yet, it still doesn't quite seem to be as "violent" as you might expect... but it certainly seems to be taking you more seriously. For a moment, it sways in place... and then it begins to stomp its feet against the floor, pounding its chest with its arms in a textbook display of dominance. When it turns its attention back to you, the troll- or whatever approximation thereof this is- snorts, and waits... but it also seems prepared to strike if needed...
