| 218 With every blow the battle before you grows more violent. Streaming blood the two mighty warriors pound each other with their hammers. Impossibly vicious blows that would crush the life from lesser creatures rain down upon both combatants. You look on transfixed as they wield their weapons like they are made of wood and not heavy iron. As fast as lightning they move and like thunder they strike. The combat continues for a full five minutes before one of the warriors is struck a crushing blow to his forearm. With a sickening crack the arm breaks and his hammer falls heavily to the floor. One more blow is all that is needed for the battle to end. You turn away in disgust as the blow is delivered and the Jotun warrior's head is crushed. As the heavy hammer falls upon its victim the crowd surrounding the walls let out a bloodcurdling scream and begin to attack the hapless warrior with their fists. It seems as if his body will be torn apart.
