You try and exhort the villagers to aid you. [2] Unfortunately, whilst you are a skilled negotiator you aren't a charismatic leader by any stretch, and whilst you try and persuade them to join you the trolls sneak around whilst the villagers stay hidden.
[1 vs 2] One of the trolls reaches you, wielding what appears to be a small tree, stripped of its branches, as a club. He brings it down hard into the space where you were a few seconds before, having rolled desperately out of the way, your knee screaming in protest. [4* vs 1] You blast him with twinned streams of ice and fire and he shatters, only for his fellows to step up to take his place. [2 vs 4] You can barely move, but you flash up a few quick bursts of fire to throw off their aim and the heavy fists of the trolls crash into the earth behind you. [6* vs 3] You flash fire to both side, then ice, then fire and ice again, alternating until the trolls explode into stone shards that cut your skin and the dust of which stings your eyes.
[2 vs 4] One last troll remains, larger than the rest and far more intact. Unlike her chipped and broken brethren, this troll is an almost entirely intact statue of a tall, amazonian woman in sculpted armour. She wields a spear carved from the same stone and stabs it at you, narrowly missing you and mulching up the ground between your legs. [2* vs 5] You blast a twinned fire-ice vortex at her, but she grabs the torso of one of her companions and thrusts it into the way, acting like a shield.
[5 vs 4] The troll chieftess hurls the torso of her comrade straight into your chest and you feel ribs snap under the pressure. You are bleeding freely and likely to die if she can strike you again. With one hand you send another, weaker torrent of fire and ice at the troll, which she blocks easily with her spear, the lower half of it crumbles. She raises her spear and...
[6* vs 4] Her head explodes as the bead of sheer physical force you created with your other hand sweeps behind her, boomerangs, and strikes her in the skull, exploding with the force of a fully fledged fireball. The spear falls harmlessly to the ground, as do the rest of her stony body parts.
You are Beorgl, the Trollslayer!
You are also very, very injured. Parts of your body are crushed and broken, most notably your leg and ribs. You have no idea if you're bleeding internally. You whimper in pain as the villagers, shocked by what has transpire, let out a ragged cheer. The trolls that slew their village are dead! Sadly, most of the village still is, too.
A - Sleep. Hopefully someone will take care of you.
B - Inform the villagers that you hold them to their bargain; they must carry you up to the mountains to face off against this dragon.
C - Inform the villagers that you hold them to their bargain; once you have rested and recuperated, you will expect their aid travelling north to find your bulls.
D - Inform the villagers that after the crap you just went through, you are their bloody lord now.
E - Forget these losers, they can't help you defeat a dragon! Crawl away from these saps and their village and rest up so you can take on that dragon on your own.
