Spoiler: OOC

trolls are wild animals though smarter then most wild animals, people know that and the bridge is made of stone, also could you(drmigit) give the number of bombs framanzio through

The farmer turned to Mr.Bom 'well I noticed stuff offer the past year going missing, I thought I was just miss placing things. when the other night I saw a mountain troll eating one of my cows, don't know what one is doing so far away from the mountains' the farmer then noticed what fromanzio was doing 'ARE YOU MAD, if you blow the bridge how am I meant to get my cows to the market to sell?'

as the bombs rolled to the side of the bridge a arm the size of a cow shot out from under the bridge, it grabbed the bombs, the hand ended up smothering the fuses. The hand went back under the bridge as a crunching noise could be heard, the troll had just eaten the bombs. The troll emerged form under the bridge, it was about 5m in height, it looked like a hairless gorilla with a stone like skin. It held out its hand as if it was asking for more food.

 

[drmigit2]

Fromanzio was honestly surprised. He had not expected someone to actually eat his bombs. The creature was quite a ways larger than legend as well, Fromanzio backed up to let the others handle it until he could get a decent hit on the beast.

"Oh...the beast ate Fromanzio's bombs...that was unexpected."

Spoiler: ooc

He had thrown four by the time that would have happened. Though, the creature is probably going to die of sulfur poisoning pretty soon. Greek fire is mostly sulfur mixed with a flammable liquid or powder. The most common is powder known as Saltpeter, or early gunpowder. As such, the sulfur and saltpeter are separate entities which is important. Sulfur is highly poisonous and will form acid inside the lungs or stomach. The thing may be stone on the outside, but that wont stop sulfuric acid from killing him inside.

"...Well."

Bom frowned to himself. Truth be told, he hadn't a clue how to deal with a hungry, towering wall of stone.

"Maybe if we feed him, he'll go away?"

He slipped off his jacket and hat and left them folded to one side. He then glanced around, on the off-chance that the farmers might have left a siege weapon lying about.

William suddenly had an idea. He walk back to his pack pony and he grabbed an piece of meat from an leather sack. And with a knife made an hole in it to the core of the meat the hole was as big as an fist William began smiling. The meat was very bloody and he wouldn't smell anything but meat from it. He also grabbed and needle and thread.

He walked over to Fromanzio and whispered to him. Give me your strongest kind of explosive bomb I have an idea. William had a dangerous glimmer in his eyes and smile on his face. He held out his hand waiting for the bomb. And Fromanzio noticed the hole in the meat and a needle and thread William was holding. He was holding the meat outside of the vision of the troll so he wouldn't notice what he was going to putting inside it.

Rias sighed as the troll came out, more annoyed she'd been denied the opportunity to refill then aggravating the troll, Fromanzio was around, something getting angry was a given. so she just backed off a bit, and waited to see what the others would do

 

[drmigit2]

Fromanzio handed William one of his bombs. "They are all equally powerful, this might just make him more mad than anything else, but if that happens Fromanzio could possibly sneak behind him." Fromanzio also had an idea, it was really annoying when his bombs went out, however the solution to this was simple.

"Also, wait about three seconds before throwing it. At that point, the bomb will enter a critical stage and be impossible to defuse. Hopefully the beast can eat in less than two seconds."

 

[Floris2123]

William smiled when he got the bomb. "Thank you allot Fromanzio and it might be best if you were to sneak behind him just in case things went sour." I don't no if I can trust Fromanzio but I am sure I can trust him better then a troll. William pushed the bomb into the meat, and made an small side hole for the fuse of the bomb. He quickly sowed the bomb into the meat and then looked at it. It was hard to see he walked back to his pony and grabbed his flint and steel.

William took an deep breath and then began walking toward the troll with an big smile on his face. He tuned the meat around hiding the stitch mark. The sound of the fuse burning would be really soft and William would begin talking or making some kind of noise so he wouldn't hear it. On the inside he was scared but he knew that this was their best shot so he had to take it. He walked over to the troll and offered the meat smiling brightly. If the troll was to accept it and grabbed it he would light the match. And then the bomb would go off in about 5 seconds in which William would stand there and react to whatever he would do with the meat.

The troll was starting to get angry with all this waiting he had to do, when he saw william starting to move towards him with the meat, the troll moved forward quickly, grabbing the meat with one hand, though he also ended up grabbing onto Williams arm by doing this, he grabbed williams body with his other arm, violently pulling williams arm out of his first hand. The troll looked at the meat in one hand and william in the other, he threw the meat over his shoulder, while moving william towards his jaw. As the meat passed over the trolls shoulder, the bomb detonated, after the smoke form the bomb cleared the body of the troll was seen lying on the ground missing its right shoulder, head and part of its back. Its left hand was lying on top of william who was now covered in troll fat, blood and meat.

Bom wandered foward, unfazed by the sight of all the steaming flesh.

He scooped the offal off of his comrade, and helped him to his feet.

"Maybe we could save some of this for later?" Bom said, licking a fat coated finger.

 

[Floris2123]

Williams plan seemed to be working until it went wrong. He was also picked up by the troll. "LET ME GO you big ugly bastard!!" The troll didn't think that way however. As he threw away the meat and brought him closer to his mouth. William was really scared and wanted to defend himself. But caught in the trolls grip he couldn't free his arms or use his weapons. He looked into his open mouth and thought to himself. Is this how it ends?

But fate had other plans for William it seemed the explosive went off. William felt an shock wave and lost his ability to hear for a short moment. And then he was flying through the air inside the trolls hand. He was too stunned to do anything to protect himself. He then hit the ground he couldn't see (helmet is covered in goo) or hear anything (loud explosion) he did feel something heavy lying on top of his chest and smelled an horrible smell. But didn't have the power to remove whatever was laying on top of him. With all of his might he manged to say with an weak voice. "Can I... get some help please?"

Then he got help from the person he almost least expected Mr.Bom helped him to his feet. He was saying something but William couldn't hear what he was saying. William coughed a few times loudly and then said. "Thank you Mr.Bom I owe you one." His knees were shacking and he looked like he was about to fall over. He was also feeling sick with all the goo covering him the smell was horrible.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Rias ran over to help William "you ok?" she asked before hearing Mr Boms comment "yes, get some of its fat if you will Mr Bom, it's a great for cooking in" and turn back to William, checking him over to see how hurt he was

 

[Floris2123]

William looked at Rias who began talking to him, he however couldn't understand a word she was saying to him. "I can't hear you right now because of the blast sorry." He said a bit too loud, as he didn't hear it himself, he couldn't judge how loud he was talking. His armor besides being covered in goo looked undamaged which made him smile. He also hadn't broken anything and also hadn't any bleeding wounds. But he did feel like he just went a few round with his unarmed instructor. He then used his arms to drop a few big biles of troll fat onto the ground and hand of the troll. He looked at the troll and then smiled. It seems like lady luck is still on my side. And I am also happy that fat ugly bastard is dead.

He then looked back to his comrade. Dangerously much adrenaline was racing through his veins.I can's stand this goo! William said. "I will be right back!" He then bolted toward the river and jumped into it. The ash escaped his armor just before he hit the water. He made a big splash before disappearing into the water. He couldn't be seen for a few seconds before his arms appeared and grabbed land. He began pulling himself back onto the main land goo free but really wet.

 

[Lunar Templar]

Rias giggled at Williams display "well least he's ok" and helped Mr Bom collect some of the trolls fat for later

 

[drmigit2]

As it turns out, Fromanzio was correct. No god had ever made a bomb proof creature yet. Perhaps a knife or arrow proof one, but bombs were always his go to solution for pest control. "Oh look, bombs save the day again!" Fromanzio replenished his bomb bag, leaving his chest with thirty nine fire bombs and forty one regular bombs.

Some of the goo had landed on Fromanzio, being behind the troll and whatnot. He just considered himself lucky that the shrapnel had mostly missed him. "Fromanzio does have his limits, not many mind you but they do exist. Smelling like troll fat is about where he draws the line." Fromanzio quickly ran into the river and struggled his way out. His clothes now soaked, it would take a while for them to dry.

 

[maninahat]

Bom wrapped up several wads of fat in some cloth, and stowed it away. He retrieved his clothes, and chuckled at the sight of the others taking a wash.

"That's why I take these things off before a fight!" He shouted at them.

Suddenly, something occured to him. He turned to the farmer, who had apparently watched the whole affair from a distance.

"Problem solved, sir", he said with a bow. "Now was there anything else we have to watch out for in future?"

 

[Floris2123]

William managed to get himself on dry land. He felt sore all over. And even though the smell was gone his armor still felt strange. He manged to lift himself up of the ground. He looked at his companions and couldn't suppress a short laugh about Fromanzio also taking a short swim. And Rias and Bom seemed to do something with the troll fat. He stretched his sore muscles and promised himself that he wouldn't risk himself again during the next fight.

It was then that he remembered the farmer early saying something about a reward. He slowly began to walk make his way to the farmer. His hearing had mostly returned by the point that he reached the farmer. Bom seemed to be talking with the farmer. William asked the farmer a question after he had answered Bom."I heard you say something earlier about this being a job? How much was the pay supposed to be?" I don't need this mans money. But perhaps he has an horse or some meat. I could replenish my lost meat, or ride an horse making me able to rest.

 

[nuba km]

"Now was there anything else we have to watch out for in future?"

'well I don't know what yea expect me to say, I live on this farm, I knew there was a troll their because I saw it, I can't predict your future.' The farmer said while picking his ear with his pinky finger

"I heard you say something earlier about this being a job? How much was the pay supposed to be?"

'You didn't ask to get paid to kill that troll you did that of your own free will, so I ain't paying you anything, now if you could "please" bugger off, I got some work to get on with' the farmer responded

 

[drmigit2]

Fromanzio skipped over to William smile wide. He whispered "I ask this without knowing if you will say yes, but if the leader would like, Fromanzio could persuade the farmer into giving us a reward. Just say the word and Fromanzio will get you one!"

Fromanzio was itching to stab someone. This would make an excellent excuse.

 

[Floris2123]

Fromanzio was suddenly standing near William he then whispered."I ask this without knowing if you will say yes, but if the leader would like, Fromanzio could persuade the farmer into giving us a reward. Just say the word and Fromanzio will get you one!" William looked at Fromanzio with an disapproving look I need to go easy on him he did give me one of his bombs. He whispered back
"Thank you for the offer but I will most likely never use those kinds of means to acquire what we need. So we will leave the farmer alone."
William turned around and began walking back to his pony. Tired both mentally and physically. He had been thrown around twice today, he wouldn't be able to keep this up for long.
