Owain attacks the creature's other leg, stabbing his blade deep into the muscle of the thigh, then twists away and ducks as the troll swings at him with a huge, powerful fist. It may be strong, but it's slow, and his lack of armour is hardly a concern when he can simply evade its attacks. It bellows now, in rage and in pain, and Owain follows up one of Asvaldr's blows with a slice to the beast's arm and a shout of "Dual STRIKE!"

There's nothing quite like battling a common foe to bring people together. The troll wavers and stumbles, unsteady now with both its legs either hacked up or pierced, and Owain takes a moment to return the stranger's grin.

"Ha, you're on! Be warned, though, I'm an expert at critical strikes!"
