Throw something in his eyes

From Torg Adventure

You get an idea, and the next time the troll swings at you, you dive and roll like before. This time though, you grab a handful of dirt as you roll. You throw it at the troll's head.

The troll growls in frustration and tries to clear his eyes out. While he's busy, you take your axe in hand and wind up for a powerful swing. You swing across your body, hitting the troll in the club arm and cutting it off. The troll roars wildly. The axe sinks into the creature's chest as well. When you yank it out, a hot spray of reddish black blood hits you. It feels good and right.

You enjoy the moment, and then have to fall backward to avoid a giant fist coming your way. Apparently, the troll's not done yet. You roll from your backward fall and land on your feet. You circle around the back of the troll faster than he can turn in his weakened state. You remain wary, because you notice that the arm is no longer bleeding. You get far enough ahead of the troll's rotation that you swing your axe again, aiming at the beast's enormous ugly head. It looks like a horse sat on a giant toad. The axe misses the head, but lands a solid blow to the shoulder opposite the severed arm. Another gout of blood hits you and you laugh.

You get understandably cocky, standing in front of the bleeding behemoth, and are totally taken by surprise when he head butts you. You fall backward, dazed, landing on your ass on the ground. You shake your head to clear it.

You open your eyes to see the troll charging you, head down. You roll out of the way, just in time, and hear a loud thud and crack behind you. You turn and see the troll has run into a thick tree. He is stunned. That thing must have an amazingly hard head. Anything else would have a crushed skull.

You stand and take careful aim. You make a mightly swing with your axe, aiming for the neck of the troll. You connect and sever the head clean off his shoulders. The largest spout of blood yet fountains up out of the monster's neck. You take a moment to revel in the victory and blood.

Now you turn toward the woman. She also has blood on her.
