Ah, the battle with the troll was impressive for sure! I don't know what exactly I expected, but I certainly didn't think that the 'troll' would turn out to be a real four-legged beast, and allied with the Painted Ones to boot. By the way, I like how you portrayed the Painted Ones as being very intelligent and dangerous enemies so unlike their earlier portrayals – but then, their tribe was pretty much civilized in 'Doomwyte', so it's not a surprise. I snickered when one rat just popped up to clarify who they were!

I do wish that we could see more of the battle, since the description was a bit jumbled, but it did portray the general confusion of a fight led on several battle-fronts at once, and I liked seeing whole planning process firsthand. Segalia's Bloodwrath came in handy – seriously, with the amount of adversities piling up on them in that battle, it was only a matter of time till her Bloodwrath kicked it. Lijel is quite a risky beast to goad Seg the way he did – guess he was hanging out with her long enough for that to work. And even though Seg and Lijel came out of the battle worse than you intended, at least they all made it out alive. Considering that both Bounder and Shadow received direct hits in the stomach, I'm surprised that they made it to the canyon on their own and that they weren't the ones to pass out first.
