After checking that Owacyn was still alive Elladan dashed about picked up arrows between taking strikes at unsuspecting trolls. He climbed the nearest tree and surveyed the battlefield. Everyone was tiring but, though less numerous, the trolls were still about and making their presence felt. Elladan drew an arrow and fired it at a troll about to hit an elf.
He tried to count as he was firing the numbers of trolls remaing but it was difficult as many that tumbled to the floor staggered back up only to be hewed back down again. Slowly it seemed to the elf that the company were beginning to get on top of things but there was still much to do. Elladan fired another couple of arrows sending two trolls to the ground now covered with bodies and weapons. The clearing now had a blanket of troll flesh for grass. He doubted that much would grow there for a long time.
Soon enough his arrows were spent once more and he returned to the earth drawing his sword again. Summoning his waning energy he leaped onto the back of one of the trolls. The troll tried to hit him woth the club but Elladan swiftly moved to the opposite shoulder so the weapon came crashing down on the troll itself. The elf mada a dash for the head only just staying on as the troll swayed and thrashed about. Once more the club came crashing down adn one more time Elladan moved away. The troll came crashing to the floor seemingly dead but Elldan drove his sword into it to make sure. "Trolls really are more stupid than any creature that walks this earth".
