The green-skin's skull caved in, brain and bone splattering as it dropped.

A crisp crack rang out as the spiritwood shield split. Her blade punched through and sank deep.
"RAAAH—!"
The monster howled, whipping its huge club around and slamming it at her.
Emily raised her sword crosswise to block, skidding back two steps under the impact—then thrust again, sharp and fast.
