Logarth looked upon the broken warrior. He knew that nothing would change his mind so decided that at least he will accompany him on what may be an epic tale.

"Very well," his reply one of resignation, "then I hope you don't mind a bit of company..... Lets go kill a chaos Troll." He smiled then.

For many hours they made their way through the under city of old Praag. There was little in the way of any life down here save for rats and other vermin. Slaught felt most of his strength regained and his head no longer throbbed. The pain of his ribs also melted into the background of his determined desire.

It was at that moment the silence of their passing gave way to the quake of the beasts roar. Ahead and several levels up in the remains of what looked like an old brewery stood the creature. It's bulk outlined by the dim phosphorescence of lichen and toadstools.

"Fuck me!" Logarth's voice a bear whisper as the roar echoed throughout the subterranean city.

"If you're not careful, it might just do that..." Slaught whispered in a surprisingly quite tone for his growling voice. Moving slightly and taking in the surroundings, he looked for anything that could be used to his advantage.

"Understand one thing, that I am the one who will strike the killing blow.. If you rob me of that's death, I will bestow a faith worse than death upon you." Slaught continued to whisper to Logarth, with a dangerous glimmer in his eyes that was visible in the weak illumination.

The creature had chosen it's battle ground wisely. The large open stairway and high walls gave it space to maneuver and the broken steps made the ground uneven for it's attacker. What 'It' had not seemed to notice was the large cracks in the brickwork. With sufficient force the walls would crumble and fall shedding the heavy stone.

Noting the structural weaknesses, Slaught decided that they could be used. Though as a plan B.. Preferably he would like to slay the beast with his bare hands..

"We have a few advantages against the troll.." He silently whispered. "The first is that the beast believes me dead.. He is hopefully also unaware of your presence. That gives us the element of surprise double up. We're also two against one.. But seeing that thing in action, I can safely say that counts for little..." Falling silent for a moment, Slaught twisted and turned the battle to come in his mind. After a short while, a humorless smile spread over his lips.
"We need to trick It into making it's move first... That way, we will get the upper hand."

[Talon Lord Othrim]

Logarth surveys the scene. "So. Just how do you plan to force it's hand? and why does it look like it's standing guard? there's nothing down here any significant value? is there?"

[Iron K]

"We'll just have to find out.. As for forcing it to make a move.. I thought we could use a live bait!"
Before Logarth had a chance to react over Slaught's words, he grabbed him by the collar and heaved him from their hiding place, into the view of the Troll.

Logarth see's him reach towards him and pulls back out of reach. "Hey!" he speaks through gritted teeth. "All you had to do was ask, I should leave you here to die if you ever try that again." He begins to move away from him. "Be ready." At that he stands up from their hiding place and yells out. "Oi ugly!"
The great beast turns it's head and bellows
"YoU No SeE!" and begins to charge towards Logarth.

Gripping his axe tightly in his hands, Slaught could feel his body getting ready for battle. The pain disappeared adrenaline flooded his system. He impatiently licked his lips, trying to force his soul and breath to calm down. One opening, that was all he needed. One opening, and he would appear from the shadows to strike his foe down.

Ducking easily under the creatures arm he flips backwards with ease

Slightly impressed by his 'Comrades' skill in battle, Slaught started moving silently and slowly, changing his position so that he would have the beast's back against him. From there he would make his attack..

Logarth still running on adrenaline dodges back out of the way of the rending claws. He begins to manover his position so that the great beast is between them both hoping to give Slaught the advantage he needs.

"Any time now would be a great help!" his call tinged with humor.

[Iron K]

Moving as fast, but still as silent, as possible, Slaught left his place of hiding. His axe held high, with arm muscles twitching with anticipation, he moved against the broad back of the troll. He could feel the hunger growling in his axe, and Slaught had to bite his tongue until he tasted blood, so that he would not loose control over his body, and go berserk.

When he at long last was in striking distance of this worthy foe, Slaught could no longer control himself. Releasing the power of ever muscle in his body, he swung his axe in an deadly and powerful arc against the beasts back.
