Continuing north, Eric accidentally stumbled across an undiscovered lair. Entering it, he found an ettin named Itheÿi Ayiereni Liecelecebela. The ettin had raw umber skin, and long, charcoal hair. The beast's left head was shorter than its right, and it was fat, but with considerable muscle underneath. Having dodged the first two attacks, Eric drew his weapons and prepared to fight. He hoped that his new steel shortsword could cause much more damage than his old iron one. The first slash tore open the beast's fat in the lower body, causing blood to spray onto the lair's loam walls. A second slash to the right lower leg again tore the fat, but caused no further damage.
The Ettin continued to stand, and tried to charge. Eric dodged to the east before it could reach him, and this time swung his sword with even more strength, hitting the Ettin's right lower leg a second time. This time, his sword cut through muscle, and the Ettin collapsed, blood gouting from the two wounds in it's leg. A heavy stab to the beast's upper body tore through muscle yet again, and judging by how it began heaving for air, Eric could guess that he had torn open a lung as well. His sword was firmly lodged in the beast's chest, however, and in pulling it out, Eric had to dodge multiple punches from the Ettin's fists. Another stab tore the beast's guts, and the Ettin looked as though it were about to vomit.
Two more slashes continued to tear through the beast's muscle, and suddenly the Ettin yelled out about how he had struck down Sodel Silveryrenown. Some good it'll do for him now. Eric slashed the beast's left hand, hoping to sever it. While this didn't happen, he still managed to fracture the bone, along with chopping through a tendon, a ligament, and countless nerves. The Ettin's left hand was essentially out of commission. Another stab to the chest fractured the beast's right flase ribs and got the sword stuck yet again. After pulling it out, Eric tried to stab the beast's eyes. This failed, and instead his steel blade fractured the left head's skull. He slashed the beast's chest twice more, and the Ettin then screamed with rage. Blood was trickling was both of its mouths, and it's entire body was coated in it's own blood. After multiple stabs to the chest, Eric tried to sever it's left lower arm, instead he basically ruiend it in the same way he ruined the beast's hand. After countless slashes and stabs to the beast's upper and low body, one cut spilled it's guts. Countless more stabs and slashes followed, until one of Eric's stabbed tore apart the Ettin's heart. The beast, in extreme pain, soaked in it's own blood, and barely able to move, was now doomed to die. After yanking his sword out of the beast's heart, Eric took a couple of steps back, and the Ettin, struggling to stand, finally collapsed to the ground from blood loss. It wasn't moving.
Itheÿi Esteemedbrains, Ettin, has been slain.
