You’re fighting a Flaming Troll. The smell of brimstone, the hulking body and dragging claws, the sound of “stfu d00d u r teh suk” – yup, this is definitely the kind of troll you want to cross, or doublecross.
It gets the jump on you and flames you in the brainpan with a clever combination of fisticuffs and insults. Ooof! Ow!
You start to calmly and intelligently counter every argument the troll is making, but then figure a thrust‐smack would me much more effective. PAF! BIFF! KASMOOSH!
You win the fight!
Though the troll struggles, you pin him to the ground and shout “tell me about the Obvious Plot Device, n00b!” He admits he doesn’t have it, and you finally let him up to run away, shouting insults over his shoulder.
And now for something completely different!
