You and Valentina draw your swords. The troll growls taking a swipe at you and missing hitting the cow carcass and sending it flying to the side. You strike your sword down quickly cutting into the beast's forearm. The troll let's out a howl, as his attention is placed on you Val takes the opportunity and swings at his ribs. He must not have been as distracted as you both thought because before the blade can strike it's target the troll knocks the sword from Val's hand. Seeing he unarmed Val the beast makes a move to bring his claws down on her, however doing so leaves an opening for you to stab into the monsters chest. Do you rush in front of Val and block her from the attack, or attempt to stab the troll's chest?
