[QUOTE="Hairy Minotaur, post: 2371815, member: 11574"] Finrod tries to flee the burning troll, but the creature stomps the elf back to the ground. Fully emerged from the fire, the troll hisses at the group and takes a quick survey of it's surroundings. Finrod rolls to his side and rights himself on all fours, attracted to the movement, the troll disgorged it's throat contents at the elf. A heavy mass of burning mucid rock enshrouds Finrod's back. His cloak and leather armor immediately catch fire. Gronar releases the struggling Paquito and draws his sword at a renewed threat. "Stinky troll! Gronar not like you, you hurt master chef Elfy." The giant bellows and charges at the beast The troll stands it's ground and rakes it's searing claws across the giant's chest, as Gronar crashes his greatsword down on the troll's head. Korg rushes to Finrod's side and with his hands, digs out massive clumps of dirt and throws them onto Finrod. Paquito sits up and takes a couple deep breaths as he regains his wits. Peering out ahead of him, he sees Gronar and the troll locked in battle, and Korg burying Finrod alive. Paquito decides to find out if Finrod finally kicked the bucket. Korg works furiously, dumping loads of fresh dirt onto the smoldering elf. He works at a possessed pace until he feels a tapping on his shoulder. "Huh? Pokey help Korg!" The giant implores "Why? It appears you have succeeded in burying Finrod. No?" Paquito observes "Korg going to send Elfy into ground, then when Umthala throws sun back into sky, Elfy will return good as new."

Korg says, saddened at the rejection Paquito manages to free the head of Finrod and verifying that he's still breathing, leaves him with Korg and goes to check on Gronar. "Gronar is stronger than stinky troll, Gronar is better than, ouch, hot troll, Gronar is ,ouch, bigger than puny troll." The hill giant says as he fragments the troll's existence into small pieces. Paquito comes over and [I]ray of frosts[/I] the troll's head. Gronar eyeballs the minotaur and clutches his greatsword, twisting his immense hands around the pommel. "Hey, how you doing? Lovely weather we're having. No? Your buddy Korg over there, found a buried elf. Maybe he has some gold?" Paquito tells Gronar. The hill giant dashes over to Korg, who is weeping uncontrollably.
