Khamudlo and the rest of his dwarven warriors arrived as Valanandir reached the troll’s shoulders. He stuck his knife inside its ear, burying his arm right up to his shoulder. The troll’s mouth dropped open in surprise. It swayed on its feet, flailing its arms, but Valanandir remained firmly in place. Iadrawyn could see him twisting his knife arm, leaning his entire body forward. The troll howled and its knees buckled. It toppled to the ground with a solid thump as Valanandir jumped free. His entire arm was covered with a waxy, orange substance. Iadrawyn felt the rock tremble beneath her feet and dodged as a large stone fell from overhead, narrowly missing her.
Khamudlo gave a Dwarvish war cry and charged, followed by the rest of his warriors. Axes seemed to do little damage to the trolls
