Ben had apparently chosen the most damsel-in-distress lady in the whole scenario to try and valiantly save; she'd been making loud noises the entire time and overall doing nothing at all to help their escape efforts. That was to be expected, though, he supposed, given the circumstances, and he could hardly blame her for screaming when she hit the ground — although the troll turned to look at the two of them, which was Absolutely Not Good. Merlin, what he wouldn't give for a working wand right about now!

Someone was trying to distract the troll, which was great in theory; the troll, however, staggered slightly and ended up shuffling his feet and kicking Ben right in the gut with his huge troll-feet.
