As the knights charged into battle against the fearsome trolls, Roland felt a surge of adrenaline. The clash of steel and shadows filled the air as the company fought with unparalleled bravery.
"Kill!" Roland's voice rang out, his sword striking down a troll with a swift blow, inspiring his companions to fight with fervor.
The archers used their Running Shot skill to increase their accuracy while moving, landing precise shots on the trolls. The enemies fell one by one under the onslaught of the company's coordinated attacks.
The battlefield was a chaotic symphony of war as knights and trolls clashed, their weapons flashing in the sunlight. Reynold and Lagrand stood out as beacons of light, their strikes powerful and decisive, bringing down the trolls with unwavering resolve.
But amidst the chaos, there was a sudden interruption—a foul smell filled the air, causing Roland to retch in disgust as unknown objects coated him in filth.
"Lend me your water bag, my lord," Carlos offered, rushing to aid Roland, only to cause further mess with his hasty movements.
Enraged, Roland cursed and vowed vengeance, his frustration boiling over. But in a moment of unexpected clarity, a golden light washed away the stains, revealing a newfound power within him.
"Purification!" The miraculous ability cleansed Roland's body, leaving him amazed at the transformation.
Gandalf watched in awe as Roland's aura shifted, a revelation unfolding before them.
"God bless Lagrand! The lord has awakened as a Paladin!" Reynold exclaimed, his excitement palpable as hope surged through the company.
The revelation of two Paladins among their ranks sparked discussion and surprise, with Gandalf reflecting on the implications of such a rare occurrence.
As they regrouped, Gandalf noted the absence of trolls during the day, hinting at a nearby cave where the creatures dwelled. Thorin's keen observation led them to discover the trolls' hideout, where a trove of treasure awaited them.
Excitement filled the air as the company uncovered gold coins and valuable weapons, including legendary elf swords. Gandalf's discovery of the Beast Bite Sword and the Gondolin Forest King's sword added to the richness of their newfound treasures.
Despite Thorin's initial reluctance, the allure of the elf-forged weapons proved irresistible, prompting the dwarves to claim their share of the spoils.
Bilbo received a special gift—a magical sword made by the elves, a weapon of great power and significance. Gandalf's words of wisdom resonated with the companions as they embraced the newfound bounty and the courage it symbolized.
As the company prepared to leave the troll forest, Roland couldn't shake the feeling of missed opportunity, longing for the elusive elf swords that had slipped through his fingers. But with the treasure secured and new allies by their side, they set off on their next adventure, their hearts full of hope and determination.
