Victory

The beast disregards and attacks from the floor as it's focused on killing the person who hurts it.

"Switch the buff to strength," Pat says to rose.

She immediately does as he says and switches her buff to strength. Patt activates his Power skill on top of the strength buff and runs if to the slow troll. Shawn notices Patt as he raises his club to swing. With all his remaining magic Shawn covers Patts club with ice as he slams it into the troll's foot.

The club crashes on top of the trolls food with a defining boom. The trolls blood and bone are flung around the as the troll topples over into the building Shawn had been standing on. Half of the foot was gone but was healing quickly and to make it worse Patts new club had shatterd.

Withought a word spoken all the fighter in the area proceeded to swing at the monster that had now been immobilized. Shawn was shaken a bit as the building to the brunt of the troll's collapse. Seeing an opertunity he quickly drank a mana potion and lept onto the trolls back. He could feel it move as it tryed regaining its balance.

Shawn could barely hold on as its foot began to heal and the monster tryed shaking him off. Shawn quickly cited his sword in ice and stabbed into the neck of the creature. It didn't injure if but gave him a place to hold on to while he conjured more spells. The troll was fumbling around and grabbed at his neck as he tryed to pull Shawn off of him. The players below scattered as it's steps became dangerous to be around, And withought the speed buff it was harder to maneuver.

Shawn continued pelting ice at the same spot near the base of the trolls skull but his low level magic couldn't piece the trolls thick bones. The regeneration of the beast didn't help much either. Shawn looked around thinking of a way to punch through before spending the last of his magic to form large spike around where his sword had pirced its neck and freezing the area around to stop it from regenerating. Shawn drank his last manna potion before the beast was finally able to swat him off its neck and into a nearby wall.

Shawn gasps as he feels his spine crunch. He slides down the side of the wall and luckily lands on a patch of grass but is knocked out in the process. Patt quickly runs over to him and shoves a healing potion in his mouth.

Shawn gasps awake and looks around before screaming in pain. He takes another potion out of his inventory and chugs it down before being helped to his feet by Patt.

"I owe you one Patt, I didn know if I was going to make it when I slammed into the wall." Shawn said as blood dripped down from his mouth and nose.

"Nah we're just even man," Patt replied back as he picks Shawn up and leans him against the wall.

"I covered my sword in ice and stuck it in his neck, all someone has to do is smash the damn thing and this can be over." Shawn says to Patt.

"My club was smashed again and I don't have enough money to get a new one," Patt said to Shawn as he gives him another heath potion.

The troll rampages on in the background as it takes a few swings at the new group as well as the Captains men. The leader of the new players started to chant something before hitting the troll on his ankle. His sword glows and proceed to slice it clean through. As the troll fell again Shawn realized he was what they needed.

Shawn quickly drinks the last heath potion and runs over to the new player. "Sir, my name is Shawn, I was the one who placed the sword in the trolls neck. I saw you were able to slice clean through the trolls skin. Should you be able to slam the ice I created deep into that things neck." Shawn says to the player as the run around dodging swings.

Patt used his taunt skill that had reacharged and lead the beast away from them for a few minutes, giving them time to strategize.

"That move I just used wasn't strong it was just sharp. I have another Rune of Strength but it would need to be carved into something to use it. It would take time, which if we had I don't have anything to carve it into." The Player said to Shawn.

"Use this," John said as he suddenly appeared behind them and handed over his ax. "Patt told me to come help if I could and I overheard you conversation about the rune"

"Thank you, it will take about five minutes but I'll try to go faster. By the way the names Martin and I'm a runic swordsman from Norse mythology. We've fought together so I feel it's right to introduce myself. You can introduce yourselves later so don't bother and just go keep that thing busy. And I'll need to be able to hit it when I get this thing carved so make sure to get it on the ground." Martin said to the others before starting to carve the ax.

As Patts taunt wears off the beast starts to head back twords the center street as if it was called back. Once it stepped foot into the street it resumed swinging as the people attacking it. One of the captains men got hit and thrown against the building across the street. A few others went to check on him but he wasn't very strong and died on impact.

"Damn you," The Captain cried out as he used his skill Basic Slash to dig slightly into the trolls skin.

The troll kicked at the Captain who was pulled away at the last second by Patt.

"I almost got you or myself killed. I apologize." The Captain said to Patt. "This whole thing is just pissing me off."

"I get how you feel. We have a plan of attack to finally kill this thing but we need to get it on its knees again. Shawn is almost out of magic and is barely keeping its attention as is. The new groups leader is apparently carving a rune into John's ax that gives strength, enough to send that ice wedge into its thick neck." Patt says to the Captain.

"I got an idea, is your Power skill recharged." The Captain asks Patt.

"Yeah, but my club was shattered with the last attack." Patt answers.

"Do you think you could at least brake its skin if you gave it a punch." The Captain asked

"I could try." Patt responded

Back at the previous building, Martin had finished inscribing the ruin on John's ax. The ruin is in the shape of an x with a line through it, the word þrek written under it. Martin immediately starts to catch up to the group.

Patt uses his skill Power and swings full force into the trolls achillies. His knuckles brake into the beast heal as the captain comes behind him and. Uses his own skill to slice through the rest of the tendon. With that the hulking monster roars in pain and falls to the ground. Martin catches up to the group just in time.

As he leaps onto the beast back he chant the words inscribed on the ax and slams it down into the blade. The beast roars in pain but isn't dead yet. It heel starts to reginerate and Martin can't use the skill again.

Martins face turns from confidence to defeat as he relies that he wasn't enough to kill it. But before the beast is able to get up fully John is thrown into the air by Patt, his flight is assisted by Shawn's wind magic. John recalls his ax in mid air and swings with all his might, slaming his ax into the spike. With a loud boom the world goes silent for a moment.

!!! Boss monster "Troll" has been defeated !!!
