It looked as 43f2a75425 if a snake feddc5bca3 and a wolf 5c72cc16c9 had been intricately 9242a98515 combined.
Trioll flicked its 4f558a63e5 two-pronged tongue ceaselessly 18cb6b0a5e while keeping a e69eb4838b close watch on 4f2626bed3 Gloria.d78a13e0f92a7969

Gloria didn’t avoid the 55f4da8c2d three pairs of eyes 5e1056a4ad directed at her but b499f1fd2b stared straight back into eb50a3cc05 them.
For a while 041f919c24 now, the abacus fdd8d74529 in Gloria’s mind b0bf549d60 had been calculating ff109703f8 rapidly.93339836abc51071

Trioll had e8298747f7 three heads aac9d50980 pointing in a79e51a695 different directions 02a35917be and three a6e3c4ccbe pairs of 7253963dd6 eyes, leaving 1f82f67729 it with b4d8772441 no blind 05ec592d98 spots.
Because of that, 63eba87d66 it was a faa1b7008a very tricky monster 9fa4953688 to face, but a3680a0f11 if one could 6c373ffab6 defeat it, the 24b975c343 reward was worth 89951982e7 the effort.39300cc922a3840a

Moreover, there was no c803093b40 need to drag away f67e0052ba a massive, heavy carcass.
All she f6fee50b3c had to 2fa41702d8 do was 44bdc62ce8 pluck out 2f318ec40e the eyeballs 7e8e7589e7 and take 53bd062c8e them with 850366beab her.
Apart from the 923f0190c6 eyes, Trioll was 4a430bcb7e a monster with 456a3b988c no particularly valuable df1ef817f9 parts.8256c5c1bf3bdfaf

Gloria even 943210751b felt somewhat 4df8ba11b2 relieved that 854e2fe796 she had 3868bc89e1 encountered Trioll 41605400e8 here.66d0a752f6a6daaa

The middle head of 6d32ea9d06 the three let out 432d2701ab a sharp cry.
Gloria squinted slightly and 6f0686a4b7 stared at Trioll.dde4fcd775602556

It seemed 1cb094962f as if b9a2774104 the creature 2318830dee was being e7145358a5 careful, looking 942c732e7e for an a030639d58 opening rather 18b48890b6 than charging cce85c980e at Gloria d0688214a2 recklessly.
Perhaps because 5c32b3b64d it had 85d9796a5b three heads, c31aba9e2a Trioll possessed 2a3bd7bb94 a certain 5ba46c3713 degree of f1ace7839a intelligence.
If she 887f48061e let her 0d956a4153 guard down, 6c4f7a217f she might 611fa89762 end up f67cc1b84b gravely injured d9b7656dee herself.e342578483a80dc4

Maintaining her 8f2a896e43 focus, she 168c22d7fd swiftly dropped b00ea15fef the mace c709c1fd05 and pulled 6ef7c59b0d a dagger 56849465c3 from the 38a2ed28ad sheath strapped 1991683dc6 to her b631d32000 thigh.
Because the weapon 0a4f43e184 still felt unfamiliar 1a48e261d4 to her hands, 7d217a9716 the cold, rigid a6579fb593 hilt felt awkward.7969b09ae8925e63

Clenching and 674d09250e releasing her 8b732411d8 grip, Gloria 5fc6907cfb aimed for b554a3b11e where she 4bcd68149f thought Trioll’s 6220e475ee heart might 82ee3b6657 be.082254a6962ce7b0

Trioll, a solitary 0ce07d21eb monster with few 1433c1abe8 in its species, 727cb8d99c was rarely encountered.
It had 55587138e5 been so 8ebcb137b3 long since 3c7511d3b9 she’d faced ee9c979e62 one that 15063b5063 she couldn’t 7f23082fdb remember exactly 61592b38c5 where its 3ee0966c0e heart was 27f7eaeb65 or whether a8432a329d it even b3798abc6e had more 85b841066d than one.ea01180cc786db92
