Always the best scenes; when “surrender seems the only option” and a decision is made to fight anyway.

Thanks very much Stephanie 🙏

Yes, surrender, to our hero, is just not an option 👍🏼😁

As Bill says, a potent 50 words.

(For what it's worth, it was very clear to me what was going on here. 😊)

PS you ever read any of the The Witcher books by Andrzej Sapkowski?

If not, I think you'd enjoy them. The Last Wish is a great place to start.

I’ve watched the TV show but not read the books. I’ll need to try and catch up with them. My reading has been patchy at best recently so have been looking for something new 👍🏼

I dont get it, what’s the “story” here? Also, “troll’s head” should have apostrophes.

No problem, but you didn’t answer my question :)

OK, so basically these leaders are considering surrender and this warrior comes in and shows them that is not an acceptable option to men like him. These “monstrous creatures” can still be killed and he believes that it is a fight worth having rather than giving up. This is a story concerning a long standing character of mine. I was going for the “lions led by donkeys” analogy but clearly didn’t do it very well for yourself.

Think that description was longer than the actual story

I’ll sort the spelling in the title 👍🏼
