VIOLENCE!!

The troll leaps at Hilda and slashes at her chest with her powerful claws. The knight swings her blade again, but because the troll is much bigger than her, she has a longer reach and connects first.

Her claws tear into the breast plate, opening it like a tin can and flinging it away, but leaving Hilda otherwise unharmed.

Hilda's going to have to get much closer to her opponent if she wants to actually land a blow on her.

The knight contemplates her surroundings, looking for anything she can use to her advantage, but before she can come up with something, the troll leaps and strikes again!

Thankfully, Hilda's much more flexible without that breastplate on, and she's able to successfully dodge the attack.

Well mostly, anyway. The troll does manage to flick away one of the knight's over-sized shoulder pauldrons.

Whatever, I can still look cool with just the one on.

More importantly though, the troll's left herself wide open after that last attack.

Hilda smiles momentarily before letting out a mighty roar and swinging her blade with all her might.
