Fingil was nearly pulled forward as the troll blundered into the rope, but with supreme effort, he managed to stay upright, bringing the huge beast down. As soon as it hit the ground, he dropped the rope and drew his sword.
The troll was already writhing around as he and Vanimorén made for it.
"Keep its attention," shouted Fingil and at once, Vanimorén called out to the troll. It turned its head and Fingil dived in. With a short and sharp cutting motion, he slit the throat of the beast. Its groans and movement became less and its head dropped to the cavern floor.
"Well done, my friend," Fingil called. Vanimorén waved back. "Onto the next."
