Chapter 15 (A Maize in Field)
Earlier that week before the siege of Breadbowl.Troll Shock Troop, 1st Pack Leader Zolak ignores the horn. There are immediate games to be hunted for he grows quite hungry demonstrating “charge” to his pack.
Zolak sees his pack stop and wade in the moat, waiting.
Zolak wanders further north and east. Chased more wild boars who disappear beyond the forests. Zolak grows curious at the grinding noise of a stone bridge retracting and appearing again, north of Breadbowl. But the bridge stops retracting so Zolak stops heading east.
Zolak wades in the moat and is attracted to a ripening prickle berry bush. Zolak swims across and ate all the prickle berries against the wall of Breadbowl. Unsatisfied with the berries, Zolak jumps up the smooth alabaster block wall with ease. There are fruit trees, but no fruit, except for some half-rotten fallen fruits, so Zolak eats them regardless. It stinks of smoke here, but there is no fire. Directly south some 30 paces away are farm plots, and golden yellow maize shone in the spring sun. Yummy looking maize thought Zolak...
--
As the battle rages on at West Bridge, the intensity of concern focuses on a soldier falling in the moat.
ALERT!
Alert was called. Watch sighted a troll inside the walls of Breadbowl. The Watch had scattered earlier when Taupe last ordered everyone to Safe Indoors burrow in an attempt to move the troops away from the moat and restore discipline from battlelust and glory.
Alath reports, “a troll has been sighted inside the walls Commander. SQman is closest to the area. The Watch is spread out from Boneyard to CLG.”
Taupe commands, “Watch and Earthen, move north to Butcher.”
--
Zolak with incredible speed traverses the 30 paces to the farm and surprised SQman, The His Majesty’s ace hunter.
Zolak gores SQman in the head with his right horn, bruising the muscle!
SQman knowing his crossbow will be ineffective in close combat, assumes a brawler’s stance and gut punched with his right. The troll looks sick.
SQman follows with a haymaker with his left fist, but the troll is tall so it hits only the upper arm.
Despite their close proximity, Zolak charges SQman. The collision knocks SQman tumbling backwards.
SQman stands up and dodges a swing from Zolak. SQman counters with a right cross that misses. As Zolak leans back, he immediately shoves his head forward and gores SQman in the upper body with the left tusk, bruising fat.
The stench in the area noticeable grows stronger and even more foul.Zolak who is but a hands reach away from SQman, vomits and continue to retch that quenches both SQman and the flourishing maize farm plot with bile, half digested prickle berries and rotten fruits.
--
Orders to both the Neighborhood Watch and The Earthen Assaults to KILL Zolak. Pyro is 15 paces away but does not have direct line of sight with two doorways in between through Butcher. Olon of Earthen is about 20 paces away and a straight line run.
--
Screaming in disgusts, and dodging further attacks from the puking troll, SQMan left uppercuts and hits the upper arm. Zolak swings his right arm and SQman dodges. SQman slaps down hard on Zolak’s the right lower arm.
This enrages Zolak and swings wildly about. SQMan steps back out of the way and gathered his “qi” and unleashed a right open palm strike in the upper leg causing much bruises.
Zolak swing his muscular arm again, but SQMan jumps away.
The skies are darkening, but no lightning. The air smells of pungent smoke as if it's raining piss.SQMan enters a trance and gathers the “void” by staring at nothing but aware of everything. Zolak's movements seems to slow down, swings with the left and SQman moves out the way to an open spot and counter strikes: punch in the foot, and elbow in the gut, and a right hook to the ear.
The sight is similar to watching a "kata" demonstration, but this is with a live foe.
Zolak does not like the feeling of being a punching bag and charges SQman off his “void.” The collision knocks SQMan tumbling backwards.
Zolak executes a two-handed face smash, but SQman rolls out the way at the last moment. Zolak convulses in bouts of nausea again and vomits on SQMan’s leather shoes. This slowed SQman’s attempt to slip away. Zolak grabs SQMan’s left hand, and retches all over his pants. SQman pulls away, but Zolak is much stronger and gores SQman’s neck with his right horn. SQman punches that the right horn but the attack glances away.
Zolak grabs on the SQman’s quiver which SQman let go and step away, but Zolak charges again with the collision knocking SQman tumbling backwards.
Zolak’s right fist connected with SQmans’ chest, then Zolak bats away SQman’s right hand. 2-HIT COMBO ! SQman counter punched with the left and misses.
Zolak completes a 3-HIT COMBO !! A triple combo of upper body, right lower arm, lower body strikes on SQMan.
Zolak once again employs a “cheesy” strategy of charge and 3-hit combo.
Zolak charges again, causing SQMan to tumble backwards, Zolak begins the triple with a right lower leg when all of a sudden ,“C-C-COMBO BREAKER !!”
SQMan double jabs Zolak’s left upper arm while at the same time receiving the body blow to the gut. SQman waits for the third strike but it did not come.
Olon Zonbal, "Olon Helmedtones", Wrestler (and Axedwarf)
The Wrestler (and Axedwarf) Olon Zonbal, ‘Olon Helmedstones’ of Earthen jumps on Zolak and bites the lower left arm and latching firmly.
Zolak swats a large right hand at Olon that misses, but manages to break free from the nasty bite.
Still enraged, Zolak charges Olon, but Olon jumps away.
Zolak swing wildly about hitting nothing but air.
Olon unstraps his iron battle axe and swings at Zolak’s lower body causing bruises.
Olon aims true and hacks Zolak’s left hand off along with a large siamang leather left glove.
Zolak charges one more time and Olon jumps away rolling with ease.
Olon stand up and lunges forward and cuts off Zolak’s right lower arm.
There is now a matching pair of large siamang leather gloves on the now furrowed maize farm plot.
SQman, redline beaten as he is, rushes Zolak with a rising dragon punch, “SHORYUKEN!” and misses badly. Hand-less, Zolak kicks SQman on the way down from a silly jumping punch. Zolak kicks SQman’s left hand that explodes into gore!
SQMan’s left hand is mangled beyond recognition.
“Bleeding. Ability to grasp somewhat impaired.”
Now picture this hand-less troll who just kicked “SQman in mid-air shoryuken” on the left hand with its left feet.Olon sweeps low with his iron battle axe and hacks Zolak’s right foot off along with fur sock and leather shoes.
Zolak falls over, along with SQman.
Zolak manages to grab SQman by the right thumb, using the Zolak’s footless right upper leg. but then loses the grip.
Zolak then grabs SQman’s alpaca wool dress, using Zolak’s right armpit.
Zolak gores SQman in the head with his left horn and the injured part explodes into even more gore!
An artery has been opened by the attack.
`SQman' Muthkattashem, "`SQman' Mansionpull", His Majesty's ace hunter has been found dead.
Olon Zonbal, ‘Olon Helmedstones’ of The Earthen Assault, Wrester (and Axeman), “Death is all around us. This is truly horrifying.”
Olon swings mightily with her iron battle axe and hacks Zolak in the neck.
Zolak loses his large giant cave spider silk cap and proceeds to quench the rest of the maize farm plot with troll blood.
