"The troll holds his long hideous arms out at his sides making a lopsided cross of himself, crouched over, coming onward toward me in a slow, deliberate trot. The bloody rictus of a smile covering most of his face, he looks all the part of a gigantic madman covered in hair and blood and filth, seeking a victim to satiate his malady."
