This was swiftly becoming a shitshow, and Zelda watched as - first - a handsome man ran into the store before her and then as, second, a teenage boy started talking to her. "Kid, you've got to go!" she yelled. Adlard had the right idea - they had to get the people out of the swiftly decimated building, but they also had to get the troll out of here.

Luckily, structurally compromised buildings were very much her purview.

"That building's going to collapse," Zelda announced, for the kid's benefit or for Adlard's or for her own she wasn't sure. "We have to get him away from the entrance." The beam was a good idea, but bounced off the troll's chest and directed his attention towards Adlard. That was fine, damage didn't matter yet - just moving him.

Zelda picked up a brick and hurtled it towards the troll. She whistled. "Over here, friend!" she sang towards it, hoping for the kid's sake that he'd decided to move by now.
