[QUOTE="Tsillanabor, post: 3717522, member: 40432"] [I]Boldly did Brock face Grendel in the dark of night His wrath burned hot at the sight of the foul creature Grendel quickly swallowed his still-screaming dinner And rushed to slake his savage hunger upon Brock But Brock would prove to be a difficult mouthful[/I] Brock was face to face with the creature known as Grendel. It stood nearly fifteen feet tall, and was massively muscled. It had less hair than one of the Sons of Ymir, but a more bestial appearance otherwise. Huge, tusk like teeth protruded from its mouth and wicked claws tipped each of the thick fingers. The fingers and toes were both webbed. The skin was pale, and the beast’s wet hair was dark upon it. It gave a deafening roar upon seeing Brock and Wiglaf. “Ugh,” said Wiglaf, wiping spittle from his face. On noticing that they were alone Brock raged and frenzied. Moving faster than his huge adversary, he landed a solid blow upon the beast’s shoulder. Grendel responded by slamming him into the side of the building. A tiny moment of worry was drowned out by his ever-increasing wrath… “Get down you bastards!” Garusha screamed, half-running and half-flying towards the doors. At the sight of her inhuman form (and the demons flanking her) the panicking warriors scattered. Unfortunately, this made it even more difficult for the others to make their way through the crowd. Outside, she saw Grendel and Brock raining blows upon each other. Brock was reeling from Grendel’s attacks, but in his enraged state he continued to attack as ferociously as the giant creature. Wiglaf moved to heal his master. To Garusha’s trained eye, Grendel seemed to have certain qualities commonly possessed by trolls. As she sent her demonic minions into battle, she noticed that the creature’s wounds seemed to be healing as it fought. She considered which of her spells to use. Caeden was having trouble making her way through the panicked guards. Finally she drew her scimitars. A path quickly cleared and she jumped through the shattered window shutter. She raced towards the battle, wincing in sympathy as Grendel landed several successive blows on Brock. Rigor and Artesia moved through the crowd towards the doors. Shoving his way through, they finally reached them. Unfortunately, the fight was on the other side of the building. Rigor eagerly drew his blade and rushed towards the battle while Artesia prepared to unleash her favorite power. Brock returned Grendel’s flurry of blows with a mighty blow of his own, putting a huge gash into Grendel’s leg. Wiglaf prepared to heal Brock with the last of his healing magic. Grendel was doing far too much damage to Brock-if the others did not arrive soon he worried that Brock might fall. Just then Garusha’s Vrocks entered the fray, slashing at Grendel with their talons. The beast turned its attention to them, trying to knock them from the air and granting Brock a reprieve. Wiglaf called out to Garusha, “Brock needs healing badly!” “On my way,” she called out, pulling out her wand of healing and flying to Brock. He barely noticed her ministrations. Brock was still caught in the grip of his fury. Seeing Caeden rushing to join him, he attacked Grendel with renewed vigor. Grendel turned his attention back to Brock, allowing Caeden to attack the creature from behind. Her swords bit deep and the monster bellowed in pain. The monster charged through Wiglaf, sending him flying into a tree. Everyone attempted to follow, but Grendel was far too fast. Garusha hit him with a blast of her acidic breath, but realized that Brock needed her aid so she could not fly after him. She sent her Vrocks to follow him, hoping to discover where he fled to. Brock collapsed from pain and exhaustion when his frenzy left him. Garusha used powerful healing magics to help his injuries. Rigor and Artesia arrived just in time to see Grendel disappear. “We got here as swiftly as we could,” Rigor says. “I know-Hrothgar’s guard were but a hindrance,” Brock said darkly. Garusha’s Vrocks returned. Unfortunately, they had lost Grendel due to the dense foliage. “Tomorrow,” an exhausted Brock said to Caeden, “when your brother arrives we shall track this beast to its den and destroy it.” Caeden merely nodded, feeling robbed of the thrill of the kill.
